OOC: Yes of course I copied and pasted the damage for some stupid reason - it was late. 
It should be 8 base + 6 quarry + 3 = 17 damage. Duh. Thanks

(Krik takes 2 dmg from the kruthik's poky aura)
The scimitar comes free, slinging a dark arc of ichor as it does. The large kruthik collapses in a shuddering twitching heap.
Lady Mishet rushes forward, her hand outstretched toward the young lord, "Lehrik! You forget your duty!"
At the Lady's words, the dwarf retainer, firms his resolve and trundles forward swinging a fierce attack at the kruthik. It hunches instinctively and the blade whistles over it harmlessly.
(Round 7 begins)
Gutwick scurries forward, a determined look on his gnarled goblin features. His swing misses as he slips on gooey kruthik blood leaking from the corpse at his feet. The kruthik's mandibles clatter. If kruthik were smart enough to laugh, that's what it would sound like.
The dragonborn laborer, panting, struggles forward, he swings his dagger at the kruthik, but his eyes lose focus and the kruthik twitches out of danger with mounting alarm as large foes encircle it.
Lehrik's temper gets the best of him, "Sit still, vermin!" Heedless of Lady Mishet's admonitions that he not endanger His Magesty, he attacks, landing a solid blow that ends the kruthik's evasion decisively. He hisses slightly at the new wounds inflicted by proximity to the foul creature.
Korask nods in approval. "You, go for help," he points at the dragonborn laborer who snarls in frustration at leaving the battle, but nods in acquiesence and turns to go. Korask moves up and deals an almost dismissive stab of his javeling at kruthik near Heskrash.
A palpable relief settles over the group as Korask kicks the twitching remains of the last kruthik in the immediate area off of the end of his spear.
Heskrash notices something strange. There seem to be fewer shard fragments here than there were earlier.
The moment of relief and realization is shattered by the piercing howl that blasts from the dark shape moving against the light of the sunstone shard ahead.

The laborer trots off toward the plinth where the day's work began. Heskrash's brow furrows as he pauses to catch his breath and looks at the shards of the sunstone. The shriek brings him upright quickly. "We have several wounded, I will attend to them. You, with me." He stabs a claw at Gutwick.
Lehrik, unsteady on his feet, swoons and his sturdy retainer moves to his side. Lady Mishet, her mouth set in a grim line. "Do not go over there, Lehrik."
Lehrik looks abashedly at the others. "Forgive our rudeness. My aunt and I disagree on points historical and prophetical."
He fixes the Lady Mishet with a stern gaze. "This is my destiny."
He turns and faces the stone where more kruthik are scurrying about around what appears to be a larger... something. He turns his gaze to a small lump not far away and moves with purposeful strides towards it. His retainer stumps along behind him. Lady Mishet's expression is unreadable.
Korask's brow furrows as he looks at the human noble striding past.

Still so many? pants Belleros, and quickly charges the closest small kruthik he can see, trying to get a glimpse of what is near the rock ahead of him.
[sblock=actions]Damn. Sorry for the slow response. move and charge to V15, basic attack on k: 20 vs Ac, 8 dmg[/sblock]

Belleros charges and with a vicious swing, lays a kruthik low. Closer now, Belleros can make out the form of a huge kruthik pinned beneath the glowing stone. It rears and shrieks again, and the kruthik near it, freeze momentarily then make a beeline for the eladrin warrior.
The lithe otherworldly swordsman dodges all but one of the slashing attacks.
(Belleros takes 4 damage)
Lehrik seems oblivious to all this and kneels down. The dwarf retainer splits his attention between the looming kruthik behemoth and its brood and his master.

"Belleros, look out!" Mask warned, and lobbed ghostly ball of green flame into the fray! It arced high, then screamed down onto the converging kruthiek!

Bleeding, Krik is momentarily relieved to see no more living kruthik in the immediate vicinity, but his relief is quickly replaced by concern over the friendly form of Belleros surrounded by the beasts.
Krik quickly swaps his scimitars for his bow, hoping to thin the field around the warrior.

Krik's arrows whicker through the air and one of the kruthik is neatly skewered. It twitches biting at the arrow that has killed it, unreasoning reptile mind ignorant of its death.
Lady Mishet picks up her skirts and hustles at quite an unseemly pace to Lehrik. Despite her haste, she carefully avoids rocks slick with blood and ichor and the bodies of those who spilled their gore on the dark stones.
Lehrik's servant slices at a kruthik and lays it low.
The enormous something (W10) rears up - it is a massive kruthik with leathery skin under chitinous plates festooned with spikes. A huge piece of the Sun Stone has crushed its hind quarters and its blood sizzles on the hot stones as it writhes in pain and frustration. It fixes Belleros with a beady-eyed glare and shrieks. The exhalation brings a cloud of searing acidic gas that burns eyes, nose and throat, but doesn't do any real damage.
(Round 8!)
Lehrik is kneeling and leans in over the recumbent dwarf.
Korask, the crew boss - ever businesslike - moves up and efficiently kills the kruthik to Belleros' right.
Heskrash moves over to the dragonborn laborer who'd fallen earlier in the fight. Gutwick squints at Heskrash momentarily and then relents. Sighing he moves up next to the towering Dragonborn holy man.

Mask, do you have any breath mints? Belleros coughs as the acidic cloud billows past him.
The kruthik around him, now substantially thinned, thrash and writhe at the lithe swordsman who focuses his will and his attack on the large leathery creature in front of him. The swing deflects off of a plate and rings down the length of Belleros' sword arm.
The two kruthik near Belleros lunge. Their claws and teeth gnash in vain.
(I have word in PMs that Belleros has been missing from the boards, so he'll be NPCed for a bit.
