Catastrophe!

The creatures scatter to the winds, quite literally, as Corragan's powerful spell knocks the kruthik creatures to their backs. Upon instinct, most of them burrowed into the ground in fear of the unknown assailants that knocked them over. Only the newly formed hatchlings, swarming around Ignatz, and the Queen herself, remain above the packed rock and soil floor. The Queen sprays a blast of acid upon Ignatz and Sha'kar, leaving them weakened and burning.

Sha'kar throws another infusion to Ignatz, boosting his armor this time, but the barbarian immediately absorbs the effect to regain health instead.

Using evasive fighting maneuvers, Ignatz ends up at the other side of the Kruthik queen, his strike is unable to penetrate the queen's carapace. He then puts a little bit of distance between himself and the queen.

[sblock=actions]Ignatz is at 15 hp + 16 temp hp
Start of Turn: Ignatz takes 17 damage and is at 14 hp.
Standard: Pressing Strike, Ignatz shifts through the queen to Q45 before the attack. Pressing Strike (Queen) (1d20+9=15, 4d6.minroll(2)+1d6+7=30) (MISS)

When Ignatz misses with his attack, Dina uses that moment to summon a phantasm to fight the kruthik.

[sblock=Immediate Interrupt]Phantasmal Henchman
Trigger: An ally within 10 squares of you misses an enemy with an attack.
Effect: Dina conjures a phantasmal henchman in an unoccupied square adjacent to the target of the triggering ally’s attack. The phantasmal henchman remains until the end of Dina's next turn. Dina's allies can flank with the phantasmal henchman. As a move action, Dina can move the conjuration 6 squares. Once before the end of Dina's next turn, the phantasmal henchman can use the Phantasmal Henchman Attack power.

Summoned in S47.[/sblock]

With a guttural command a shadowy shroud surrounds the queen. Boris' sword flares with white light. "The Blessing of the Sun!"

Boris charges amidst the swarms directly towards the queen striking with all his might.
An instant later he seems to blink out of existence causing the air around him to explode. He appears a safe distance away seconds later.

Corragan stands his ground and slams his staff to the floor, summoning roots that dig through the rocks to ensnare the visible Kruthik. Then he shifts his focus, his jaw extending and teeth growing to sharpened points as he takes the form of a panther, ready to pounce into combat.

[sblock=Actions]
Standard: Grasping Tide centered on S47. Elven Accuracy on the Queen - misses
Move: Move to R53
Minor: Wild Shape

OUTCOMES:
Queen: Not hit
Swarm in R47: HIT = 10 damage + 5 vulnerability. If it moves outside of the area of the Grasping Tide, I get an attack +8 vs Reflex, or it falls prone.
Swarm in S46: May already be dead from TCO's attack. If not, takes 10 damage + 5 vulnerability, and can provoke the same opportunity attack as R47.
