A human child hidden in a small cubby made of stone throws fireballs at the powerful wizard and hir friends. The child is calmed, the ones there are not the hunters.

It looked like a small crack between the stones of the pass, with just enough room nearby for a band of travellers to stop for a camp. No travellers usually stopped here. Not any more.
