Xendengalis: Steps forward and to the right, next to Kerith and Gertrude, and takes a firm swing with his mace, but the steel head only strikes sparks off the stone floor as the monster scuttles unexpectedly out of the way.
Kerith (autopilot): Stabs at the largest centipede again, but the point glances off the chiton.
Blackwing: Continues to stay out of harm's way.
Huge Monstrous Centipede: The thing doesn't seem fazed by the swap in its targets, and takes a huge bite out of Xengendalis. You barely avoid a critical hit, but still take major damage. Another hit like that and you won't be hurt - you'll be dead. You feel the venom beginning to seep through your body, tightening your muscles into stonelike knots and robbing you of your mobility. Luckily, not much seems to have been injected, and you remain mostly unimpared.
Gertrude: Not yet convinced that Norynth is safe, Gert snaps at the huge bug, but once again she fails to do any damage.
Norynth: (OOC: by hanging back, I'm not sure if you intend to retreat to the intesection. Please elucidate.)
Alexi: you move into position opposite Oren, ready your spell, and order Blackwing to keep watch.
Michelle: Seeing your cleric taking damage, you hurl another magic missile at the monster he faces, blowing off several of its legs. Infortunately, it has lots left.
Medium Monstrous Centipedes: Again, only one can reach. It elects to attack Kerith, but can't quite manage it effectively.
Oren (autopilot): You wait down at the intersection.
Titus: Follows Alexi to her position, crouched low.
Foran (autopilot): realizing that you are quite suddenly alone, and in a room where one of your number nearly died, you reverse course and double move back to the intersection.
(OOC: map later today)
