mALX, yes they fight to defend Lil while she runs away.
She only summons them underground when she’s really getting hurt or occasionally on a nice night so she can enjoy their company. They’re pretty awesome.
Acadian, you guess correctly, those are Maigret’s vampire bats. They are the only ones of her critters that I’ve tried that do unsummon themselves after a short time (60 seconds) like a traditional spell rather than a companion. That’s a big part of why they are such a good fit for Lil. Plus to me they have a real tropical rainforest vibe (biologists love bats, lol), and that’s also very Lildereth. I expect eventually she’ll summon spriggans thanks to Rosa’s fabulous Witchcraft mod. Thank you for the encouragement that finally got me to grab up SI!
SubRosa, those are indeed Mr. Siika’s bats via Maigret’s mod. There are three of the little (big if you’re a Bosmer) sweeties. I’m sure there’s a story percolating in my brain about how Lil goes batty, but it’s not ready yet.
I did get SI for your Witchcraft mod, thank you for the encouragement. I think Kanet will be the first to venture into the Isles, but I got it so that they all could meet Morcant.
Thanks, DE! The bats are adorable. They make cute bat noises and use some kind of spell with a red effect in their attacks. Lil loves them, especially with some of the new monster surprises we've had lately.
