That is, until the swarm is upon you.  Drawn by the sounds of battle, they come swooping down from the skies in search of blood.  It is a large swarm of Stirges, large mosquito-like creatures with four wings, sharp claws, and a long bloodsucking proboscis.  They aren't very intelligent creatures, but they are keen hunters, and will work together to bring down their prey.They attack not only the heroes, but any other living creature in the area.  As such, the only remaining frog is the first to be grabbed.  The other stirges quickly latch on to their targets, working together to grab them and suck out as much blood as they can.  Two of the stirges make the mistake of attaching themselves to the Paladin, who is glowing with a brilliant aura of flame.  They take some of his blood, but are quickly incinerated as a result.The frog manages to break the grasp of the stirge, and bites it in two.[sblock=Map]<img src="http://img685.imageshack.us/img685/7072/swamp3.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />    * Red borders around characters indicate that they are bloodied.    * Squares marked with a triangle are thick brush and are considered difficult terrain.    * Also, any square with more than 50% water is also difficult terrain.[/sblock][sblock=Rolls]<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3105121/" target="_blank">Stirge 1 vs. Frog 3 Stirge 7 vs. Sledge (1d20+10=20, 1d20+10=26)</a><a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3105141/" target="_blank">Stirge 2 vs. Nicodemus Stirge 3 vs. Nicodemus Stirge 4 vs. Mallick Stirge 5 vs. Mallick Stirge 6 vs. Sledge Stirge 8 vs. Sledge Stirge 9 vs. Brocc Stirge 10 vs. Brocc (1d20+12=28, 1d20+12=25, 1d20+12=21, 1d20+12=25, 1d20+12=28, 1d20+12=30, 1d20+12=29, 1d20+12=24)</a>Holy crap, every one of the Stirges hit their target, even against the frog!Nicodemus: 10 damageMallick: 10 damage, grabbed by #4, #5Sledge: 15 damage, grabbed by #6, #7, #8Brocc: 10 damage, grabbed by #9, #10[/sblock][sblock=Status]Brocc: 22/38 hp, grabbedMallick: 27/47 hp, grabbedNicodemus: 28/55 hpSledge: 27/61, grabbed, bloodied<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3105220/" target="_blank">Frog 3: Acrobatics check to break grab (1d20+10=27)</a> Frog 3 breaks Stirge's grasp<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3105226/" target="_blank">Frog 3 bite vs. Stirge 1 (1d20+11=20)</a> Frob 3 bites Stirge and kills it[/sblock][sblock=Stirges]At the beginning of your turn, you will take 2 damage for every Stirge that has grabbed you.  To escape the grab, use a MOVE action and make either an Acrobatics or Athletics check of 15 or higher.  If you succeed, you may shift 1 square as part of the move action.  (If any other stirges are still grabbing you, they will shift with you.)While the Stirge has a creature grabbed, it gains a +2 bonus to AC and Reflex.While the Stirge has a creature grabbed, it can only bite that creature, and it hits automatically.[/sblock][sblock=Enemies]Frog 3: 15 damage    * AC:18    * Fort:15    * Rex:16    * Will:157 Stirges remain    * AC:19 (21 while grabbing a victim)    * Fort:16    * Rex:18 (20 while grabbing a victim)    * Will:15[/sblock]</blockquote>
