[QUOTE="CrimsonFlameWielder, post: 6052172, member: 6684473"] As soon as Ignatz' brutish strike takes out one of the beret wearing dwarves, Kama'zer can feel a release of pressure as the vine-like marks on her skin disintigrate. Suddenly, all of the adventurers can see again, as the cloud of murk dissipates completely, leaving all of their foes visible...except for the gnomish Time Collector that is... he was till nowhere to be found. The group of adventurer's didn't have much time to reflect on that, though, as their still-living enemies retaliate. Small shapes wiz by Ignatz and he feels the sting of tiny blades slicing his skin like paper cuts. He didn't really feel them, though, as he was still feeling a surge of adrenaline from having downed one of the dwarfs. However, the tiny shapes were swarming everywhere, and they were unrelenting in their constant slashing. Ignatz knew that he'd start to feel their bite as soon as the rush of battle ebbed. With the cloud of darkness gone, Ignatz could also see that the sprites were swarming near to Kane and Kama'zer too! Having been roughly pummeled by the large insectoid creature before him, the last remaining dwarf on the field quickly dumped a pouch of liquid onto his short blade and waved it about menacingly, hoping the threat of poison would shake the strange creature. [COLOR=Purple]"Ahahaha! You be feelin' th'sting o'me blade insect!
