Ed had many ways to stall for time. The first step for putting them into action however was to place the adventurers on edge.

'Let's see…' The next step was to know the enemy, for that he had two options. One was to show up with his main body to scope things out, the other was to send Zephyr and other wind skeletons.

'You two, come on up' Ed directed his command to two green skeletons. They were obviously two wind crystal skeletons.

'Help Zephyr scout and then report back' Ed's command rang in the consciousnesses of the two skeletons. They took it all in before quickly nodding and scampering off towards Zephyr's position.

How did Ed get these skeletons up and running? The answer was simply goblins.
