[Adventure] Squash Those Bugs! (DM: Dekana, Judge: ?)

Ashurn makes his move after seeing the swarm of centipedes shifting their attention towards Labraundos by rolling forward and effectively flanking them from a blind spot before taking a swipe at the swarm. His attacks took out quite a sum of the creatures but more of them just seemed to come from nowhere. Ashurn then backslip towards where Nicodemus is after his ineffective attack.
"Annoying skittering bunch. Should have bought some flask of alchemist's fire with me while I was in the town."

Lenyara danced backwards, trying to get a good view of the writhing, twisting swarms. Then she raced forwards, her weapons scything through the nearest batch of bugs. At the last moment she slipped in some of the goo left from the slain scuttler, and her attack merely stirred the bugs around without actually hurting them. With a frustrated snarl she lashed out again- this time the tangled braids of her net dragged a bunch of the bugs into a twisted mass, and she quickly stabbed at it with her long knife, skewering several crawlers. Then she stepped sideways, away from most of the remaining pests...

Emsy fires an arrow into the most reduced of the swarms. The arrow does little damage by itself, but the burst of sound it creates on impact swirls around the bugs and rearranges them into a tiny group. Lenyara immediately recognizes the new arrangement as a perfect target. She strikes with her shortsword and finishes off the swarm.

The rest of the centipedes, not having any other targets within reach, pour over Labraundos in a squirming wave. Many of the bugs are able to deliver tiny bites that leave acutely painful wounds. The giant centipede also has more luck with its next attack; its mandibles clasp onto a weak point of Labraundos's armor at the back of the knee. The paladin quickly feels his strength leaving him as a foul venom courses through his leg.


[sblock=Emsy & Enemy actions]Emsy: Staggering Note vs Swarm 3 hits Will 21 for 4 /2 = 2 thunder damage, and Lenyara can make an MBA. (1d20+4-2=21)
--Lenyara's MBA: vs Swarm 3 hits AC 21, killing it.. No damage roll is needed because even the minimum roll would be enough. (1d20+12+2=21)

Centipede Swarm 1: Swarm of Mandibles vs Labraundos crits for 7 damage and 5 ongoing poison damage (save ends).

Centipede Swarm 2: Swarm of Mandibles vs Labraundos hits Reflex 11 for 5 damage and weakened (save ends). Actually, the second wind bonus is going to save Labraundos from an awful lot of damage. This attack misses.

Centipede Scuttler 1: Scuttle to shift to Q7. Feed (targets weakened creatures only) vs Labraundos hits AC 30 (rolled a 19) for 18 damage. Ouch.
Feed can't be used since Swarm 2's attack missed. With a Bite attack instead, the attack deals 7 damage and weakened (save ends).[/sblock]
