Alright, so the spear that punched through the windshield turns out to be thrown by a fomorian goon and the hero and the other characters easily mop them up. It isn't a real battle but more like a way to prove that the heroes are really bad-ass before they face actual troubles. They meet a girl who convinces them to trust her for a little while even though the readers are going to be screaming 'Don't Trust This Girl'. We've got to establish the the characters as fallible, you don't want anyone looking like a Mary Sue.
The main character offers to take her back to the cabin and call a friend to pick her up and take her to the hospital while the others start following the tracks the fomorians left. Just like you expected the woman was bad news and ends up calling up some more fomorians that try to jump our heroine, but she's been keeping in contact with her buddies by walkie talkie.
So our heroine valiantly holds off about a dozen thugs but there are just way too many, so she's got to retreat upstairs and burst out of the window in a complete action-hero kind of way. She's sporting a few new bruises to show she is dashing but vulnerable. Cue dramatic arrival of the other characters who had overheard the start of the battle over the walkie-talkie and turned back.
With everyone working together, the heroine and her sidekick burst into the house to mop up the rest of the mooks while the other supporting characters guard the door. Cue some cool explosions but nobody is hurt very badly after a moment of tension. The mooks get taken out by the sidekick who is seriously competent at this kind of thing, like Kato from the Green Hornet.
The hero boldly incapacitates the villainous wench and it is revealed that what the reader suspected all along is completely true. She's a bright one, one of the fomorians known for being attractive as opposed to being an ugly lump of inbred badness. The supporting characters fetch some rope and iron to keep her bound and they find out just how Crazy Prepared our heroine actually is.
