He raises his  insectoid rod and lights up the hole with bright shaft of starlight.Gloom continue to advance getting ready to attack the first creature he can strike.     Gellan edges forward, every muscle tensed in anticipation of an attack.A ear piercing sheik fills the cavern as Martelai's shaft of starlight begins to travel down the shaft before him, only to graze the back of the kruthik making its way towards him.  The creature reaches the top of the shaft and quickly slashes at Martelai's leg with one of its jagged sharp fore-claws.  The strike draws a line of blood on his leg, tearing his pants in the process.At the sound of the shrill call, more kruthik emerge from the other vertical shafts in the floor.  One of the creatures quickly engages Gellan, hitting him with a slash of its claw.Gloom is quickly engaged as well, this one leading the way with its fore-claws swinging.  Gloom sidesteps the blow and with an opening granted to him plunges his longsword into a crease in the creatures hard chitinous body.The last of the visible creatures appears at the far end of the cavern.  It's body shudders slightly and two jagged spikes fly outward, striking Gloom and Gellan.  Their bodies immediately begin to feel the effects of the vile toxin coating the spikes as their limbs start to feel sluggish and unresponsive.It would appear that the hive is willing and able to defend itself against unwanted intruders....[sblock=Mechanics]- Martelai's Dire radiance misses; 14 vs Reflex.  Hive Gurdian 1 is cursed.- Hive Guardian 1 attacks Martelai, 24 vs AC; hitting for 9 damage.- Adult 1 moves to I17 and attacks Gellan; 26 vs AC; hitting for 6 damage.- Adult 2 moves to H22 and attacks Gloom and Gellan with Toxic Spikes; 20 vs AC against Gloom & 17 vs AC against Gellan; Hits Gloom for 11 damage & ongoing 5 poison damage and slowed (save ends both).- Hive Guardian 2 moves to K19 and attacks Gloom; 16 vs AC; Misses.- Gloom attacks Hive Guardian 2 with Ardent Strike; 23 vs AC; hitting for 11 damage & Hive Guardian 2 is under Glooms Divine sanction until the end of his next turn.[/sblock][sblock=Initiative]Gellan => 24Gloom => 18Thorn => 17Martelai = 16Bad Guys => 15Minharath => 10Zharne => 9Leonard => 8OK so Gloom, Gellan, Thorn and Martelai are up next![/sblock][sblock=Status]Good GuysGellan – HP: 27/33; HS: 7/9; AP: 1 <= Used Swift Panther Rage Gloom – HP: 28/39; HS: 9/11; AP 2 <= Ongoing 5 poison damage & slowed (save ends both); Martelai – HP: 29/38; HS: 7/9; AP 1 Minharath – HP: 24/29; HS: 8/8; AP 2 <= Used Beacon of Hope Thorn – HP: 30/35; HS: 10/11; AP 2 Zharne – HP: 34/36; HS: 8/9; AP 2 Leonard - HP: 20/20; HS: 1/1 Bad GuysAdult Info; AC ?, Fort ?, Reflex ?, Will ?
