[Fear SU]  Talon is attacked and scratched.  Pebbles is attacked and bitten.  The venom works quickly and already she feels shaken mentally (lose 4 Wisdom).  More creatures begin to rush and leap out from the doorway.   The other two turn to help as they can.Ippikak drops his bow and tries desperately to pull open the heavy doors by himself.  He can not and looks in terror they swarm over the dwarf.  She tries to strike at them but misses.  Another bite is scored and she finds she can not remember her divine spells.  She can not even enlarge and become enraged (Passion Domain) and thus is in a great deal of danger.Talon fends of several attacks with only minor slices and bites.  He kills one and becomes confident they can defeat these creatures.  He is unaware that Ippikak has fled the battle and expects his aid.  Cedious and Bob try to help him.  Bob takes a vicious slicing strike that damages his chitin shell greatly (crit) and makes him wish for a warmer climate- like the Burning Sands.Pebbles in a panic goes full defensive and tries to protect herself as best as she can.  She has several wounds from bites and claws.“What are these damned things!?!” screams out Talon as their shells block out most of his attacks.“Nasty and soon to be dead!” yells Cedious as he throws dart after dart at them.  He refuses to get too close to them.  Their talons are nearly as long as he is tall!Pebbles moves against the wall to protect herself further.  She tries to remember any spell…ANY! And can not.Ippikak calms down and overcomes his fear.  He turns around and picks up his bow.  With a deep breath he pulls out an arrow and aims it at a creature on Pebbles.With Ippikak’s return to sanity, the tide of battle begins to turn.  Finally, the seven creatures are slain.  Pebbles is dumbfounded by it all.  “What are we to do?” she asks.</blockquote>
