[QUOTE="CrimsonFlameWielder, post: 5828434, member: 6684473"] As you travel down the left path, the walls and floor become more and more saturated with the purple rock. The path seems to go on forever with twists and turns that slowly circle you completely around the other two tunnels, curving to the south. Here the walls make a drastic change. Instead of being tunnels that have been dutifully carved by hundreds of kruthik claws, the purple and grey rock walls of this part of the tunnel are melted and singed black. Thin layers of now-solid rock have sloughed ever down toward the floor, making it look like the walls could drip on you at any moment. After a hundred feet of traveling through the "dripping" tunnel it makes a sharp u-turn to the north. It is here that Dina's ring begins thumping at her so frequently that it actually vibrates her hand and gives off a low humming sound. As she gets closer and closer to what looks like the entrance to a wide and deep cavern, the ring begins to emit a dull blue light as if to say "HEY! PAY ATTENTION TO ME!". In answer to the ring, you can see the matching glow of the orb in the distance within a pile of rock. Beside the pile of rock is a HUGE solidified boulder of purple crystal rock atop which sits the largest kruthik you've come across yet. It looks over at you intently, sizing the threat of the intruders that have dared to enter her chambers. This Kruthik Queen chitters and squeeks at another large kruthik that sits beside, but not on top of the glowing purple crystal. In return, this kruthik emits a high-pitched scream that sets the cavern echoing with the reverberations of her voice. The ground rumbles. You now notice that what you originally mistook for white and brown stones mixed into thousands of other rocks of various types are actually the eggs laid by the Kruthik Queen. With the cacophony of sound coming from the female kruthik leaders, the eggs burst open and hundreds of tiny gnashing baby kruthik eager for their first meal coalesce into a swarm of biting, chomping, slashing fury! As the freshly hatched kruthik begin their rampaging swarm, several other kruthik pop up from the ground all around the cavern to see what is happening in the Queen's chamber. Seeing the intruders, they ready themselves to attack! [ooc] Please roll your initiative and make sure you have your latest statblock shown in your post so that I can update your info in my notes. [/ooc] [sblock=initiative and Status] The Kruthik have rolled an initiative of [URL="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3386601/"]17[/URL]. If you beat that with your initiative, feel free to take your turn. Terrain: All of the rocks are difficult terrain unless you have a climb speed or can hover/fly over them.

The target being grabbed takes 6 damage (instead of 2 damage) from it's Gnashing Horde aura if it ends its turn adjacent to the Kruthik Sentinel. - Gnashing Horde (Aura 1): Enemies who END their turn adjacent to the Sentinel take 2 damage (see MBA above for exception).
