"Sam, herd that far one closer; we can't let him miss out on all the fun." Quillian commands as he slides down the hill to get closer to the horse before reaching out to it and sending a gentle wind towards it that closes it's wounds. Sam circles around to the far side of the hobgoblin before coming back toward him as if herding sheep. The newly appeared stirges all try to sink their barbed legs into the remaining hobgoblin, and the one across from the half-orc is finally able to get a solid grip as the hobgoblin moves to avoid the other two attempts.

[sblock=stirge abilities]
Attach: When a stirge hits with a touch attack, its barbed legs latch onto the target, anchoring it in place. An attached stirge is effectively grappling its prey. The stirge loses its Dexterity bonus to AC and has an AC of 12, but holds on with great tenacity and inserts its proboscis into the grappled target's flesh. A stirge has a +8 racial bonus to maintain its grapple on a foe once it is attached. An attached stirge can be struck with a weapon or grappled itself—if its prey manages to win a grapple check or Escape Artist check against it, the stirge is removed.
Blood Drain:
A stirge drains blood at the end of its turn if it is attached to a foe, inflicting 1 point of Constitution damage. Once a stirge has dealt 4 points of Constitution damage, it detaches and flies off to digest the meal. If its victim dies before the stirge's appetite has been sated, the stirge detaches and seeks a new target.
Diseased:
Due to the stagnant swamps in which they live and their contact with the blood of numerous creatures, stirges are harbingers of disease. Any creature subjected to a stirge's blood drain attack has a 10% chance of being exposed to filth fever, blinding sickness, or a similar disease (See Afflictions). Once this check is made, the victim can no longer be infected by this particular stirge, though attacks by different stirges are resolved normally and may result in multiple illnesses.[/sblock][/sblock]
