Into the Taboo Lands
Mallador sent an arc of lightning from his hand towards the looming 'Buggems' (as Sheldon called them)... but it went wide, missing the nearest.
Dekar, however, proved himself a master archer as he unleashed twin arrows that both struck home! Both shafts pierced its carapace and it let cry with a keening shriek that sounded unearthly with insect fury!
Mawr lumbered forward, not attacking, but looming and presenting himself as a large target.
Stylus was able to dash behind a nearby boulder. It was temporary shelter at best, but he had cover for the moment.
Abbi joined Stylus as she began to morph and change, trying to turn into her bat form quickly enough to make a difference.
Piecemeal's rock rebounded harmlessly off the nearest Ant's hide, as did Sheldon's sling stone.
Tunic, Desi and Spot were all struck with shock and didn't react this turn.
Even as the heroes attacked, the ants returned the favor...
One ant monster turned its twin heads towards the onrushing Mawr, and its eyes glowed iridescent green. (OOC: Mawr, make a Save vs. Radiation on a d20 please.)
Two more of the monsters lunged at him, fierce mandibles biting. Between the 4 heads, two bits drew blood, spattering white fur.
OOC: 21:01, Today: Mutant Lord rolled 16,13 using 2d8,2d8 ((8,8,6,7)). 29 damage to Mawr.
3 having been drawn by the mammoth bear, the one Dekar had shot turned lunged after him, its whiplike tail stabbing forth! It jabbed Dekar in the side... (OOC: Dekar takes 6 damage, please Save vs. Poison!)
Another went for Piecemeal, biting away! But the canny plant was too quick and defended, warding off both attacks!
The other 3 were moving in to position to attack. The combat was joined!
