Xenn’s battle… from Elfdreams 7…WIP

Alo’s alarmed voice split the air, “Enemies! We are discovered! Make ready! To the trees!”
Xenn stood and looked around the stately red oak. Several Drelves deftly scurried up orange elms and red oaks. Five Drelvish archers stood shoulder-to-shoulder and aimed well made bows toward the small meadow. Several large menacing figures emerged from the thick woods to the west.
Standing nearby, Alo cried, “Fire!”
The Drelves’ arrows sped toward the advancing Drolls. An arrow struck one of the seven-foot tall creatures in the middle of its throat and felled him. The remaining arrows hit and barely slowed the advancing enemies. The archers fired two more volleys, turned, and fled to the cover of the underbrush. Their comrades positioned in the lower limbs of the trees.
Xenn directed his left hand toward the charging Drolls, uttered several phrases, and sent a flash of brilliance across the clearing. The Slow Spell retarded the enemies’ movement and enabled Alo and his archers to reach the underbrush. Drelvish archers fired from red oaks toward their slowly moving adversaries and struck down two additional Drolls.
Alo drew his short sword and faced the unenviable task of battling the axe-wielding Drolls hand-to-hand.
Xenn again muttered phrases, sent a mauve ray toward the nearest Droll, struck the beast with an unerring Magick Missile Spell, and slew the wolf-faced enemy.
