''I didn't think anything of it. I know that Adrik is scary quick, and while he is slow to act he is very deliberate and fast once he does take action. Across the table the action would play out very much like it did above: Adrik suddenly goes from talking and waiting into a flurry of death before anyone else can even blink.''

Everything happened so fast, your companions didn't have time to get scared, or at least not frightened any further. In fact, you don't think to check your inhuman speed until you rush to their side to check on them. The lady stifles a shriek and drops the torch, but it is quickly recovered.

The child rushes off into the darkness while you investigate.
