Confrontation at K'Lethka Ridge, round five
Not sure where Dayspire went, so in the interest of keeping things moving I'll NPC Erin for the round.
Sanae's knees nearly buckle when the toxin takes effect. She feels as if the vitality is being sucked from her limbs. (6 points of STR damage) She can barely keep her hands steady as she reloads her crossbow. When the creature dives to attack again, her shaking arms betray her and the shot goes wide.
Fortunately, Matilda has rushed into position to help her team mate. She aims a deadly blow at the creatures eyes, but at the last minute the insect shifts direction abruptly. Matilda's sword instead merely clatters across one wing. Erin, who has been moving into a line of sight, is luckier. Although she was also denied a solid hit by the creature's erratic movements, the edge of the Thunderstaff's globe of force smacks it's wings from the other side. (1 hp damage, creature made its save vs. being stunned) The combined effect of the women's attacks, while not particularly damaging, are enough of a distraction that the monster's jaws close on empty air rather than the paladin's flesh. Furthermore, its attempts at evasion leave it so disoriented that it runs into the ground a short distance away and groggily lifts itself up, momentarily stunned. (The creature rolled a 1 on its attack and under my (somewhat freeform) homebrew fumble rules loses its next action)
Meanwhile, Eff Flat cautiously moves forward. His beloved dagger flute stands at the ready to defend him, but no target comes within his reach. Within the mist cloud, Dargin sees to the safety of himself and his patient. The two animals resolutely stand guard. From his position at the edge of the white haze, 'he has no name' can just make out the insect creature as it hits the earth with a dull thud and rises shakily to its feet.

he has no name, warforged warrior.
Slowly the mist thins enough that 'he has no name' can see the shapes of his companions beyond and the creature that has been attacking them. Sensing an opportunity, the warforged shifts his grip on his spear
"Wait here."
The warforged moves out into the clear and towards the flying creature. He hurls his spear.
Dog, as usual, ignores the warforged instruction and follows the warrior out into the open.
ooc: Move to K17 (30 ft.). Spear ranged (1d20+6=9)

Eff Flat : Male Warforged Bard 4
Eff Flat continues to advances slowly toward the giant wasp. One of his dagger flutes in his hand ready to throw should the large insect come his way.
OOC: Advance at half speed in the direction of the giant wasp. Ready an action to attack it if it flies in his direction. He will use Low C if he attacks. 17 to hit and 5 damage. Rolls are here. This is with the Inspire Courage but without range increments. 10 feet range increment.

Erin
"Over here!" Erin cries out. She begins to run through the muck towards the fallen bug creature. "'Ware the stinger!" She looks down at the Thunderstaff for a moment as she jumps over a particularly noisome puddle. I could get to liking this thing quite a little bit. I wonder if he would be willing to sell it? Once within range, Erin once more raises her Thunderstaff at the bug, and lets fly another burst.
ooc: Sorry about that, had some urgent hospital type family business, and so I've been a bit distracted.
Erin moves to L13, and fires another blast from the Thunderstaff. Total of 19+12=31 for Activate Device and 17+5=23 to hit. Nice rolls there. Damage is 1d6=4.

Dargin moves to the edge of the mists so that he can see what is happening in the clearing. He sees the insect on the ground and the others taking shots at it while it is not airborne. Seeing an opportunity, Dargin raises his hands and chants. "Spirit of the land I implore you, raise up your roots, your leaves, your branches. Twist and bind and catch and snare." The forest and field begin to writhe in an unnatural way. Roots burst from the ground and twist, groping, looking to latch onto something. The grasses and branches sway towards the living things, their tips curling to snag the unwary. The earth all around the downed insect bursts into activity.
ooc: Casting Entangle past the insect around J4 since I presume it is touching the ground at the moment. I'm aiming the spell so that it'll catch it near the edge without engulfing my party. If it takes off before I get the spell, or if it's not really in contact with the earth atm, I'll just ready an action to move myself and Malk back into mist if it comes towards me. Edit - Reflex DC is 13

Dol Dorn guide my blade...
"Time to die, bastard!", Matilda practically screams as she charges full speed towards the giant bug, her blade ready to deliver a hopefully fatal wound.
Charge Attack - 15
Damage Roll - 6

After managing to clumsily fire her bow, Sanae bit her lip and fought to remain standing.
She managed to bring her left hand to her arrowhead pendant and softly prayed. "May the healing power of the Flame overcome this toxin..."
Sanae is casting Lesser Restoration on herself.
She heals 1 point of strength damage

Confrontation at K'Lethka Ridge, round six
At Dargin's command, the undergrowth comes alive, forming a waving, gripping mass that attempts to twine itself about the giant bug's legs. [(Creature makes its save vs. being entangled - for this round, anyway) The entangling plants are the least of its worries. Matilda's charge brings her face to face with the creature. Too busy extracting it's myriad limbs from the vegetation, it is unable to dodge her thrusting blade. Fortunately for it, however, the sword fails to pierce its chitonous exoskeleton.
'He has no name' rushes to join the attack. Dog, excited by the activity, runs alongside him, barking merrily. The beast choses the exact moment the warforged is releasing his spear to run between his master's legs. A serious mishap is avoided, but the spear falls well short of its mark.
Just when the winged insect seems to have freed itself enough to take flight again, another burst from the Thunderstaff strikes it squarely in the midsection. The concussive force slams the creature into the ground, where it twitches feebly, trying to recover from the overwhelming impact. [(Bug finally failed its save)
Meanwhile, Eff Flat continues to edge cautiously forward while Sanae calls upon the power of the Silver Flame to combat the effects of the venom coursing through her veins.
Dayspire - no problem at all about the absence - I hope everything turns out all right! On a game related note, the Thunderstaff is use activated - no UMD roll required.
The blurry area on the left side of the map is the area affected by Dargin's entangle spell.
