After watching the horrific death of their friends, the team saw several travelers fleeing another band of goblins. This new group reached the compound and the safety within. The group discussed their options and decided to try and hold the homestead against the goblins until dawn, assuming the goblins would hate the sunlight. They scouted out the entrances to the homestead and barricaded them the best they could. They then took up spots at windows and towers to fire missile weapons at any approaching goblins.
After a while, the team on the roof was accosted by a swarm of giant vampire bats! Their bites caused paralysis, and the team was in trouble. They shouted out for aid, and others came rushing up the stairs. Swords were drawn, and bats were cut down out of the sky. Arrows and crossbow bolts felled others. After a few minutes of furious battle, the bats all lay dead on the ground around the base of the tower.
