Meliandri finds her self drifting off, but manages to fight it for a couple of hours. After perhaps nine, however, her eyelids start...just...sort of...drooping...
After walking around for hours Jhen leans against a wall hoping to rest his weary feet. I hope something happens soon, he thinks as his eye lids grow heavy.
Salonius is fairly used to long nights of study and has little problem distracting himself while Jhen is not in his area; relentlessly reviewing what he knows about mirror image and another couple of higher tiered spells he feels on the cusp of grasping. His hiding place is not exactly comfortable, but it beats the Holding House hands down.
Fhingle is the first one out, finding a comfortable chair Fhingle puts his hands on his full stomach and snores
As Jhen sleeps a the wall he manages to attract the murderers. A group of eight 6" small flying ugly creatures swarm him. One approaches him with a plier bigger than itself and applies it to Jhens mouth ripping a tooth out.
All asleep are woken by a scream of horrible pain.
[spoiler=Initiative]
Salonius breaks into a run rushing toward the scream and Peeko's excited shrieking.
Peeko bellows, "Attack, attack! Flying murder goblins! Peeko helps! Peeko helps!"
With a twittering battle cry the thrush descends placing himself in front of one of the creatures that has yet to act and begins hissing and squarking at the creature trying to keep it away from Jhen.
Peeko successfully distracts one of the tooth fairies from Jhen. With the consequence that he gets attacked.
"Ahahaha, you never hit Peeko, you stuuuupid flying thingemy! Hahahah, never hit Peeko!" Peeko taunts cheerfully as he dodges the creatures bite.
The tooth fairies keep torturing Fhen. Three of them try to bite Fhen while the other attempts to pull another tooth.
The other tooth fairies wait impatiently for their turn with their pliers.
Jhen can only stare numbly in horror as the blood runs down his throat.
Salonius gallops around the corner eyes widening as he spies the creatures assaulting Jhen, but he can only rush forward as the creatures continue their attacks. Tooth faeries! Why can't I ever meet nice woodland fey? Why isn't Jhen moving?
Peeko lands on Jhen's nose spreading his wings and attempting to make himself big by fluffing up and bellowing, "Peeko will pull your entrails out of your butts you cheeky tooth plucking murder bats! Peeko pulls your entrails out your butts!"
Sadly the creatures do not appear to be properly intimidated, no doubt unable to understand Peeko's verbose repartee.
Saul stabs the tooth fairy, working on Jhen's teeth. The fey explodes in white fairy dust that stinks like hell.
Salonius flings his arm forward conjuring a splintered spear and hurling it for the closest fey, but throwing into the combat he cannot manage to catch one of the nimble little creatures.
The spear goes wide
Fhingle wakes with a start, falling out of the chair as he tries to get up, Fhingle gets caught up grabbing his mace and running to help.
The tooth fairies that were only watching use the opportunity to swarm Saul. For three of them this does not end well.
The fourth one gets through and bites Saul. Or tries to.
"Saul strike then move back and I'll color spray the rest of the blighters! You to Peeks!" Salonius calls trying to find an angle to strike at the creatures.
The remaining toothfairies leave Jhen alone and go for Saul, biting and pincing. He fends off two of them, but one bites him and he doesn't know how, but one manages to rip a tooth out.
As Peeko swoops away to land on his shoulder Salonius rushes forward and hurls a handful of colored sand from fifteen feet away to catch as many of the creatures as possible.

Description
A vivid cone of clashing colors springs forth from your hand, causing creatures to become stunned, perhaps also blinded, and possibly knocking them unconscious. Each creature within the cone is affected according to its HD.
2 HD or less: The creature is unconscious, blinded, and stunned for 2d4 rounds, then blinded and stunned for 1d4 rounds, and then stunned for 1 round. (Only living creatures are knocked unconscious.)
Fhingle arrives in time to see what is going on. Voice chaning pitch and tone, Fhingle moves into swing his small mace.
"Fhingle you cannot hurt them with that unless it is cold iron! Heal Jhen, but don't heal the tooth faeries!" Salonius yells.
Fhingle looks at Salonius, cocking his head like he has no idea what Salonius is saying.
Salonius frowns, and shouts "Fhingle? Cold iron!? Heal Jhen!"
Fhingle again stares at Salonius like he is speaking another language.
Saul makes another one of them explode. Fhingles attempts are inconsequential.
One of the remaining two tooth fairies fall out of the air. The other two flee into the night - bickering all the way.
Salonius races after the closest creature and hurls a splintered spear after it hoping to eliminate the foul things before they can bring more pain. The splinters strike it and pierce into flesh, but Salonius is not sure if his blow was powerful enough to pierce its resistance to anything but coldiron and cause it to bleed out.
After a moment Salonius returns and recasts his light spell before picking up the unconscious tooth fairy and tossing it onto the ground before Saul, "Would you mind doing the honours Saul? Horrible little thing will wake up soon. Unless you think we should restrain it and interrogate it as to where the other one went? They can turn invisible though so we would need to be very careful."
That said he recasts his light spell and moves around carefully picking up Jhen's teeth and handing them to Fhingle, "Do you think you can heal this?"
Peeko retrieves Saul's missing tooth and lands on the investigator's forearm before dropping it into his palm.
Jhen awakes to Saul's assertion that the tooth fairies were gone. He immediately asks Fingle, "Fith my teefh pweeze."
"I just passed a couple to Fhingle, sorry about the light show," Salonius says expression pained.
"Fanks," Jhen mutters to Salonius.
Fhingle falls out of his battle trance, feeling a bit fatigued but taking the teeth from Salonius.
"What were you saying to me while we were being attacked?" Fhingle takes the teeth and tries to put them back in on Jhen
"Ahhh? Oh, I was suggesting that your mace was unlikely to do much to the tooth faeries as they are resistant to all but coldiron, and recommending you heal Jhen. Why were you not able to understand?' The botanist asks curiously, as he examines a dead tooth fairy with interest.
"Would anyone mind if I took the corpses? I bet one of the anatomy labs would be interested, not sure if they would be willing to pay, but having more people know about these little horrors would be advantageous I think.'
