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

With Lenyara and Nicodemus taking the lead, the party moves past the door and through a straight corridor. Shortly after everyone is past the guard, he closes the door behind them.
The corridor opens up into a wider cave, but Nicodemus's dancing lights only illuminate part of it. The cave stretches at least 25 feet in front of the adventurers: beyond that is total darkness. The walls close to the entry corridor are very rough and have a shale-like consistency. Many piles of loose rubble have broken off the walls.
Further into the cave, shrouded in darkness, you can hear at least two different sources of low scraping noises, as if something is dragging along the floor. You're not alone in here.

"Do we have more light?" Lenyara purred as she scanned the area ahead. She twirled her weapons and tensed to sprng at the first sign of danger.

The scraping noises move closer to the party. To the disgust of all, a horde of foot-long centipedes emerge from the darkness. The swarm moves to attack!

"Never mind, I can see them now," Lenyara growled. Then, with an ear-splitting howl that sounded more like a big cat than a human voice she leapt forward. Her weapon spun in blurring arcs- nearing missing the twisting, scuttling bugs. Nearly, but not quite.
In an instant, the swarm was practically spun about as if in a whirlwind, and Lenyara danced away from the writhing mass of bugs.

>Triggered action: Charge to O7, MBA with net; 1d20+12= 14 (should actually be +13= 15, including charge and Dancing serpent bonuses); hit for 10 +1 (vanguard weapon/charge bonus)= 11, halved to 5 and swarm is slowed until end of Lenyara's next turn
>Free action: Dual weapon attack with short sword; miss with a natural 1
>Free action, end of turn; shift 1 to P7

[sblock=ooc]I don't think either of those free actions can be used at the moment. The first triggers only during Lenyara's turn, and the second triggers at the end of her turn - but this isn't her turn, it's the swarm's. A readied action is technically an immediate reaction that Lenyara is taking during the swarm's turn.[/sblock]

Lenyara gets in a few good strikes at the swarm, but the rest of the centipedes crawl en-masse toward her legs. Several of the bugs slip past her hide armor and deliver intensely painful bites before she can shake them off.
Then, two more swarms of centipedes move from the dark recesses of the cave. They join up with the first swarm and form into one, large, writhing mass of legs, long bodies, and mandibles. All try to get bites in at Lenyara, but she is able to dance away from their attacks for the moment.
Finally, the giant centipedes that the kobolds were so afraid of make an entrance. One enormous centipede, at least as long as a man, scuttles along the ground toward Lenyara. It lunges at the ranger, who once again is able to dodge her attacker's bites. On the south side of the cave, a second giant centipede bursts out of a pile of crumbled rocks and debris. It clings to the wall and then moves up to the ceiling, clattering softly as it moves closer toward the party. This centipede ignores Lenyara and moves straight for Nicodemus instead. Still dangling from the ceiling with all its rear legs, the bug lets its head drop down so it can strike at the warlock. Nicodemus manages to duck aside at the last moment.
[sblock=Enemy actions]Centipede Swarm 1: Moves to N7. Swarm of Mandibles vs Lenyara hits Reflex 20 on the dot. Lenyara takes 6 damage and 5 ongoing poison damage (save ends).
Centipede Swarm 2: Moves to L6. Charges to N6. Swarm of Mandibles vs Lenyara misses Reflex 1.
Centipede Swarm 3: Moves to N8. Swarm of Mandibles vs Lenyara misses Reflex 14.
Centipede Scuttler 1: Moves to O6. Bite vs Lenyara misses AC 13.
Centipede Scuttler 2: Bursts out of the pile of debris in N12. Spider climbs along the wall to P9 and dangles from the ceiling. Bite vs Nicodemus misses AC 12.

Emsy's eyes blow bright white as she gets a glimpse of the consequences of Lenyara's careless rush into the fray. Emsy sees Lenyara getting bit as she cuts through several of the centipedes and a wince of pain spreads across her face.
"No!" Emsy cries out. "Lenyara! Fall back, there are too many!"
Lenyara does a quick flip backwards, dodging an otherwise painful surge of writhing centipedes. But they still advance towards her.
"Foul creatures! You are not to touch my sister in arms!" She lets loose an arrow at the swarm of centipedes that almost bit Lenyara. It lands limply on the ground, but erupts with a wave of sound. It scatters the swarm and pushes it back...
