The magic within Torqua forces the swarm to flee or be destroyed. The mass of maggots back away for now.
Vardaal misses again. Something about this Dessert land must be affecting his senses; perhaps the complete lack of Rat pies has depleted the barbarian’s morale. His swing pass just an inch over the antennae of the Ankheg.
The two adults that are still in the battlefield combine their efforts to bring Myoko down. One of the gurgles and spits a ball of acid towards the jadite, who barely manages to avoid the hit. Quickly, the vermin moves to face Myoko face to face. The distraction serves the other ankheg perfectly, as it sneaks behind the mercenary and bites viciously at her back.

One such attack depletes the ankheg’s acid supply for the rest of the
encounter. Once used, the ankheg can’t deal additional acid damage. An
ankheg does not use this ability unless it is desperate or frustrated.
It most often spits acid when bloodied or worse
Capture (melee basic) (standard; at-will)
+9 vs. AC; 1d6 damage. Hit: Target is grappled.
If the ankheg is damaged after grabbing its prey, it retreats backward
down its tunnel at its land speed (not its burrow speed), dragging the
victim with it. An ankheg’s burrow is completely dark, and the
character won’t be able to stand from prone due to the tunnel’s
dimensions. The ankheg will try to kill it’s prey biting it
repeatedly, which will cause an ongoing 5 dmgs while the prey is in
the burrow. It takes three successful athletics rolls (dc:20) to scape
from an ankheg burrow.
