There are indeed more of the little makeshift spears, some slapping uselessly against Rosinante on their sides, while others stab into his clothes. He does manage to knock some of the spirits away using one of their own, and the Soldier helps by dragging two more off of him. If Rosi wants to go, now is the time, before another wave of the annoying things comes to replace them.

The big spirit is staggered by having two smaller ones chucked directly at its... face? The center of it, anyway. It stumbles back a few steps, teeters, but ultimately retains its balance using the log it's been wielding.

Once they realize that the Soldier isn't trying to escape, the confused little spirits don't try to drag him as much, but instead focus on pelting him with rocks, much like their counterparts on top of the juggernaut.]
