Characters engaged in melee attract attacks from the swarm, or certain zones on the battlefield become swarming terrain.  1d2 points of damage per round while in the area.  Combat scene frightens a skunk or suitable fantasy replacement like a giant stink bug, or reekflower. Certain zones are filled with nauseating clouds of funk that force a save or become sickened for one round.   Combat scene is an ancient battlefield or burial site. Violent energies manifest in the surrounding area as various effects like grabbing undead arms that thrust from the ground, or gaseous spirits attempting to posses the combatants.   The combat scene is magically reactive. Spells cast create lingering effects like fields of flame, or electrical fields that damage anyone who move through the zone.   Battleground is home to a powerful earth elemental spirit who causes terrain features to change. Rocks explode from the ground creating tactical potential. Sink holes make the ground unstable or difficult to move through. Surfaces become sharp and spiky causing damage to combatants.   I was using this as a warm-up for my own writing today. Feel free to refine and expand on the ideas. I know these are pretty rough.</blockquote>
