When the people in the huts left their homes to check what was going on, they were immediately attacked. They got hit in the legs and shoulders because the chances of them bleeding to death in those places were small.
It took a while since those who left most of the huts were older men and women, but eventually, some people that were actually willing to fight back appeared. A group of ten mages fired Fire Arrows toward the group before Vitalar's men could hit them, but Zaos blocked the attacks by spinning his sword a few times. They didn't use their Fast Cast skill, so Zaos job had been relatively easy.
Soon after, Vitalar's hit them. Even though that stopped them for a short while, those ten mages got up and prepared several other magic projectiles. While some of them even managed to fire several Fire Arrows, most of them failed because the pain made their concentration wane. Zaos once again blocked the attacks by spinning his sword.
