Most of the bugs explode into flame and curl up into tiny charred balls. A group of centipedes splinter off from the swarm and bolt from the fire, but Lenyara gives chase and makes short work of them.After a few tense moments pass, it becomes apparent that there are no more bugs lurking in the shadows. The fight is over. After the party takes a few minutes to rest and tend to their injuries,  Nicodemus brings his light to bear on the other half of the room, he sees at least a dozen skeletons lying near the western wall. Most of the remains are of humans and kobolds, although there are also one or two bodies for each of the other civilized races. The skeletons are mostly fully clothed and armored in some cases - it appears the centipedes picked away their victims' flesh and left their belongings untouched.Most of the items of the deceased are mundane, with 2 notable exceptions. Labraundos spots a goliath skeleton wearing a heavy set of plate armor that he thinks would fit him. Flervin meanwhile inspects an unassuming human-sized oak staff that a kobold skeleton is grasping. Despite its plain looks, Flervin determines that the staff is indeed magical.[sblock=Treasure!]Labraundos: The goliath skeleton is wearing Verve Plate Armor +1 (AV p.54). If Labraundos feels uneasy about taking goods from the dead, he will get the distinct feeling that the goliath would want Labraundos to carry his armor in battle, provided he pays appropriate honors to the deceased.Flervin: The staff is a Staff of Ruin +1 (AV p.106). I don't see a wishlist in Flervin's character sheet, so let me know if you would like a different kind of staff and I can try to accommodate.[/sblock][gm]Vertexx69 is correct; swarm 2 uses Survival Instinct to shift to K8 when it is hit by Emsy's Argent Rain. However, K8 is still well within Lenyara's attack range, so I'll assume she moves to make her attack. Lenyara also won't take aura damage because the swarm shifted away before she took her turn.Ashurn: 19/22, 1 surge usedEmsy: 24/24Flervin: 22/30Labraundos: 11/30 (his last post says 14/30 - he also took 3 aura damage this turn), 2 surges usedLenyara: 34/41Nicodemus: 30+4/30Please let me know how many, if any, healing surges you'll use. I'm okay with the group taking back-to-back short rests in order to maximize Emsy's healing, as long as the party understands that there are risks to standing in one place for too long.Regarding Emsy: I'm a little hesitant to have the party's only healer leave the group. Can someone volunteer to post Emsy's turns in combat? If not, I'll go ahead and run her as a DMPC.[/gm]</blockquote>
