Xendengalis: You cast Cure Light, twisting so that the centipede can't get a bite in at you. Regardless of your contortions, you manage to get the spell off. The healing power fills you, and you see the hole in your flesh cover itself with new skin. You're not as good as new, but you're much better than you were!
Kerith: Ready an action to attack the first enemy to move within reach.
Blackwing: Guarding the east passage.
Huge Monstrous Centipede: Can't get in on the action and seems mad as all heck at all those magic missiles.
Gertrude: Attacks c1, missing.
Norynth: You attack c1, missing.
Michelle: Insistant that you will take out the big one, you hurl yet another magic missile. Afterward, it looks as though it is on its last legs (which is saying quite a bit, considering how many legs it has).
Alexi: casts burning hands defensively, and barely gets the spell off (by my estimates, you don't reach N12.) The hallway suddenly seems filled with fire, and several of the bugs roast nicely (c1, c2, c4, c5, c6). When the smoke clears, only c5 is still moving from that lot - the rest are dead, toasted in their shells. The horrid stench of cooked bug fills the air. You step back into P15.
Medium Monstrous Centipedes: Continue their mindless assault, scuttling over the smoking bodies of their fellows.
c1: dead
c2: dead
c3: dead
c4: dead
c5: (injured) Approaches Xengendalis (M15), trying to bite. Oren gets an AoO, but doesn't hit. It misses its own attack.
c6: dead
c7: moves to N15 and attacks Norynth, missing very badly.
c8: moves to O15 and attacks Kerith, also missing.
c9: moves to M13, but can't reach anybody to attack.
edit: Kerith: You attack c8, missing, as your readied action goes off (initiative changed).
Oren: You stab at c5, but can't quite pin the thing.
Titus: attacks c7, but misses.
Foran: You keep on playin'!
I think we're beyond needing a map at this point in the battle.
(OOC: Remarkably, the only things I rolled above 10 for this round were the concentration checks and c5's saving throw. That's dice for you.)
(Also OOC: Considering what happened to Alexi, I'm thinking it might be easier if, in the future, I automatically consider anybody casting in a threatened area to be casting defensively, unless they say otherwise. What do you think?)
(Also also OOC: What's the point of an OOC thread if I don't use it? Compare and contrast the pros and cons, and present me with a five page paper tomorrow morning. Thank you.

OOC: see OOC thread
OOC²: Oh, just noticed you killed c3 twice!
c6 should also be dead!
Alexi's lips form a satisfied smile, as about half of the beasts stop crawling. She almost forgets about her bad wounds, but then reconsiders and withdraws from the bug next to her and moves 10' east further into the corridor.
Rest is for you, guys.

Xendengalis does a double-take as he watches the centipedes fry. He looks at Alexi with his mouth open, like he's about to say something to her, when the still-smoldering bug in front of him takes a lunge. He jumps back, annoyed.
To the centipede: Whoa! Hold on there! I wasn't ready!. To the companions: Hey fellows, this crispy critter looks like it's almost dead! Should we subdue him for questioning? What's that? Smash him? OK, but we could be missing out on a chance to get some valuable information!
Xendengalis shrugs, then swings his mace down hard, looking to squash the half-dead centipede.

I think I can assume what you are all going to do next, so I'll get right to it.
Xendengalis: Attacks c5, but miss.
Blackwing: Guarding the east passage.
Huge Monstrous Centipede: Still can't quite get in...
Gertrude: Attacks c7, biting deep into its gooey flesh and killing it instantly.
Norynth: You attack c5, slicing the half-dead thing asunder. It is dead.
Michelle: You fling your last magic missile at the big one, and everybody feels a flood of relief as it finally collapses to the ground, dead.
Alexi: you pull back further.
Kerith: You attack c8 again, missing.
Medium Monstrous Centipedes: Seeming to have no comprehension that they are being slaughtered, the 2 remaining bugs press on.
c1: dead
c2: dead
c3: dead
c4: dead
c5: dead
c6: dead
c7: dead
c8: Attacks Kerith again, missing so badly it almost looks like it was attacking somebody else.
c9: moves up to attack Norynth, but misses.
Oren: Attack c8, and almost miss it, but almost doesn't count and goes down.
Titus: attacks c9, crunching its head to pieces.
END COMBAT!
You each gain 500 XP!
OOC: This is the battle that my RL players missed because they complained that they were bored with fighting seemingly endless waves of centipedes.

OoC: How could one tire of centipedes? 
Er..I need to add up XP, dpdx, do you have a total anywhere, you seemed to keep track before I recall. I will go back and have a look, though...
IC: Norynth calls Gert back, moving among the centipedes and making sure that they are all dead. When he is finished, he returns to the companions with a satisfied look upon his face, glad to be done with that business.'Well, friends, what now? I must say that the fire was quite useful Alexi. You know, roasted centipede smells a bit like crayfish. Perhaps they are edible...'

Xendengalis nods at Norynth. Aye, and those magic missiles weren't too shabby either! He smiles at Michelle.
Ahem. As your doctor, I must insist we retreat somewhere safe so I can treat anyone who's been exposed to poison. Should take about an hour.
Xendengalis starts examining everyone's wounds, trying to decide who should get cure lights and who should get a cure minors.

Xengendalis: You estimate that Oren needs a cure minor, Alexi needs one or two cure lights (depending on luck), and Norynth needs a cure light. You could probably use a cure light as well. You are the only one who was poisoned.
