As you head towards the stairwell,
there is all of a sudden a great commotion.
All of the bats, suddenly move at once.
Screechs are deafening.
Flying overhead en masse.
Thousands
Not toward you, but past you.
Into the stairwell
and up it.
A huge cloud of black wings.
After a bit, the last disappear up the stairwell.
The screeches fading and then becoming nothing.
Now the arched ceiling is bare, everywhere.
The great room is silent.
