The fist connects, striking the guard in the gut and causing him to momentarily double over. His vicious red eyes glare up at Borthan with murderous intent.


Unable to get onto the bridge, Topsy turns to face the northern front where everyone is duking it out with the hulking quaggoth. The gnome hesitates briefly, waiting for its attention to be on Buppido before she closes in. "Brother. Clear the bridge," she orders, moving past Turvy to leap in for a throat chop at the quaggoth. But the beast steps back out of her reach, and she lands unsuccessfully beside it.

Spores fluttering around in the air settle into the quaggoth's fur and it twitches and snarls, scratching at them. Clumps of hair fall off, revealing the tissue beneath looking sickly. In its rage, the beastman swings his arms out in a sweeping motion to backhand Buppido and Topsy away from him and try and get at the offending mushroom. Buppido swerves out of the way, while Topsy is thrown to the side into the wall and grunts from the impact.

Two more of the hulking beasts emerge from their den, snarling. One steps over the dying drow at Sarith's feet to loom over him, a cruel mockery of a smile gracing its face at the chance to rip apart a former master with full permission. Its claws swipe at him and one finds its mark, digging into his arm through his rags. Topsy's vulnerability is not lost on the other, who scratches her with a claw as she pushes back off of the wall to regain her balance.

"They need help!" the normally shy Turvy shouts, trying to gather everyone's attention as his sister is in danger.

"Getting crowded here," Jimjar comments.
