[QUOTE="Xaltar, post: 2311, member: 480"] ------------------------------------------- Session 2, Part 2: On the verge of collapse... ------------------------------------------- As the party cleaned themselves off from the barrage of ant guts, Holden informed the group that an ant colony must have a queen nearby. Keeping this in mind and ready for more action, the party proceeded to climb into the anthill on their hands and knees. Roughner was more then obliging when it was recommended that he remain at the entrance to keep any ants from entering. Holden boldly led the party into the cramped passageways. Things were going smoothly, until a portion of the ground began collapsing under his weight, dropping Holden into another passage. As he lay there stunned, dirt and sand quickly poured down on him like rain. With the sound of Holden’s muffled cry, the party taken aback comes to a halt. The sudden stop only makes matters worse as the dirt beneath Drexel’s legs gives way, dropping him partially into a lower level. The party begins to panic as they realize how unsafe this bug made passage really is. As Holden begins to pull himself free he notices that he bumped something solid with his boot. Before he can inform the others, Drexel calls out in excruciating pain as a pair giant-size mandibles tear deeply into his calf. Drexel now spitting blood begins yelling for help while his deep wound fills with the swiftly sinking sand. Back in the front of the line, Holden finds himself able to draw the ant up and into the passageway after him. As the ant moves forward, it finds itself flanked by Holden’s sharp sword, and a swift back kick from Spiderfang. With one threat taken care of, Ziona does her part by wrenching free the now unconscious Drexel. As she pulled him back into their tunnel, she managed to catch her hand on something unseen but sharp on his forehead. Yet there was no time to inspect Drexel’s disguised anatomy. With little easy the angered ant came up and into the tunnel with the party. Already covered in Drexel’s blood it rushed forward to finish off the intruder. Borghin quickly pivoted in the narrow tunnel and plunged his sword into the back section of the giant bug. The ant’s head jerked violently back towards Borghin as his guts gushed out of its hind section. The body of the ant shuddered slightly before the legs went limp and left it slightly twitching in a puddle of its own entrails. Finally given a moment of safety, Ziona called upon her divine healing powers to restore Drexel to a conscious state. Grossed out, spooked, and feeling slightly claustrophobic, the entire party instantly retreated from the anthill. As they immerged from the dirt pile, each shaking themselves off as if they were covered in spiders, Roughner couldn’t help but smirk. ------------------------------------------- Still more to come... ------------------------------------------- [/QUOTE]
