In a recent encounter I had a swarm of 9 attack the party in a dense forest which gave them an advantage over the quarterstaff wielding character. I run them as a hover and attack creature, getting the players worked up over how to get the stirges off of them. The stirges got a few good hits in as the party panicked. I took a hint from watching vampire bats on nature shows attack cows, except the stirges I make more frantic and more numerous. Vampire bats sometimes crawl about their victims before biting, looking for a choice spot to feed from. This can be unsettling to players if done right. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":]" title="Devious    :]" data-shortname=":]" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
