Aeranduil quickly has arrow knocked as he steps toward the middle of the group, leaving himself surrounded by the others, and looks for a target...his bowstring whistles three times as he litters the carapace of one of the scorpions with arrows.
"Traveler's stinking breath, finally you decide to play by my rules," Morika growls at the scorpions in front of her, her muscles rippling and her horns emerging as she lets her beast spirit show. Drawing strength from that, she brings her hands out, pointing at the two scorpions, and then draws them together, lightning crackling between them! One of the scorpions lights up briefly as the energy courses through its body, while the other one dropped its abdomen to the ground and ducked under most of the effect.
The unamused halfork watches the battle unfold before him, while the scion of House Lyrander quickly sets to work infusing her blade with various magicks and power.
Thanor clangs forward, loosing his axe from its sling on his back as he moves. Durned bugs don't know what they're mucking with, he grumbles. As he plants his feet, he hears a muted 'click' as the ground beneath him gives way to a PIT! [Reflex save to avoid FAILS]
[sblock=Thanor]
The ground gives way and you find yourself falling head over heels down a pit -- a moment later you hit the bottom, or which you think is the bottom with a loud splash!
None-the-worse-for wear, you find yourself in the bottom of a water filled pit, roughly 20' form the surface in water that is well over your head.

As the party approaches the bridge Voadam wipes moisture from his damp brow.
At sight of the scuttling giant scorpions Voadam exclaims "Jormundgand's venom, a natural critter ambush point. To arms!" Voadam activates his boots once again and takes to the air, drawing his wand of webs. "Alien spider-like minds but I think not web walkers." he mutters to himself "Ware their poison stings!" he shouts to his companions.
At Yoggrith's mention of staying in a circle, Ipshivi realized just how exposed her current position was. She had no wish to engage these creature's at close range, and prudently ducked into a safe spot near the center of the group. Only then did she attack, shifting momentarily into visibility as a swirling clot of shadowy energy left her hands.
The remaining scorpions nimbly crawl out of the water or over the rocks and quickly close the distance between themselves and the Khoravar and shifter druid. Sanne is able to avoid a pair of claws, while the druid has a long gash opened up on her thigh from the raspy claw.
