[QUOTE="Gray Shade, post: 2718090, member: 32340"] [b]Kah[/b] and [b]the Padre[/b] hurreidly pour oil in a wide circle around the party, while [b]Haakon, Lars, and Mist[/b] gather wood. [b]Dentmus[/b] does his best to keep the horses from panicking, and it dawns on everyone that though pretty grating on most human nerves (at times, anyway) he does seem quite calming to the animals. The bugs flood over themselves within the area of the [i]Entangle[/i] and sooner than any of you hoped, they are bearing down on the party. With shouts and screams everyone manages to get back in the circle, just as Dentmus touches the torch to it. The circle of broken limbs and oil goes up in flames waist high with a [i][b]*whoosh!*[/b][/i], and this is more than Haakon's horse can handle. The creature snorts and leaps through the flames in a panic and runs, amid the insects, down the mountain. Another, Kah's, is about to follow, but Dentmus puts a reassuring hand on its shoulder and it pauses. The crackling of the wood is soon drowned out by the crackling of burning insects as they hit the fire from all around. Lars boosts Haakon up into the lower branches of some trees, but they don't hold his weight, and he finds himself grasping at branches quickly as they snap or bow down in his grasp. He will need to be another three feet higher to get to branches that are large enough to support him. The insects are not getting through the fire but their corpses start piling up, and more and more come to clamber up the corpses and into the fire. None of you are sure when, but it appears that they will gradually smother it. Looking out at the sea of insects all around you, you're not sure if the fire will hold out long enough or not. Most of the insects that burn on the fire seem to do so by accident, but some do head directly into it almost as if trying to get to you all inside. * * * Fenris: Oh! :o Sorry! Der! The swarm was about 400 feet deep, but a lot of them that were right uphill from the group were destroyed in the [i]Entangle[/i]. At the end of this post, they are about two hundred feet both up and down the mountain from the party, so you may only have to make it another 2-3 rounds. Kah: has not had time to get the Alchemists' Fire. If you wish to use it, you may. With the success of the fire you already have, you're pretty sure that your Alchemists' Fire would guarantee enough fire to keep the insects at bay until they pass. [/QUOTE]
