Confrontation at K'Lethka Ridge, conclusion
This actually takes a couple rounds, but the poor insect monster is both stunned and entangled, so there's not much sense in spending two more days rolling virtual dice - the party can easily finish off the helpless creature.
The insect creature's head lolls as it struggles to rise. Long stalks of grass and roots entwine about its legs, holding it tightly to the ground. The party closes in about the doomed monstrosity. Matilda's blade is the first to strike home, followed quickly by a well-aimed Low C flung by Eff Flat. A few moments of cutting and hacking later, the creature is no more.
Dargin pokes his head out of the mist in time to see the slaughter. From his current position, no one in the group looks particularly hurt, although Sanae sags oddly and seems barely able to raise her crossbow. Scanning the area, some movement at the top of the ridge catches the shaman's eye. Whatever it is doesn't remain long enough for him to identify it. He speculates that it might have been the head of some watching creature or being, withdrawn from sight as soon as he spotted it.
Anyone may act.
Excellent work in this combat! It's been a while since I've awarded EXP, so I think this will be an ideal time. Eff Flat, Erin, 'he has no name' and Sanae all get 2000. Our "newcomers" Dargin and Matilda each get 1750.
Sanae will need to make another Fort save soon.
