The blade of the shortsword drives deep, missing the spider's face by inches and digging into its body. Slick bug juices spurt out of the deep wound, splattering the weapon and Borthan's arm. The creature hisses in pain.


Among the fighting around the corner, Topsy tries to get within reach to jab and punch at the quaggoth in front of her, but the creature's reach is too much longer than her own. She's fended off handily, unable to get a single lick in.

The quaggoth with death in its eyes looms over Sarith, roaring and raising up with both claws ready to rend into him. Then flesh eating spores from Stool flutter around it in the air, and it makes a groaning whine. They eat away at its wounds, widening them, and it finally falls backwards onto the ground. The one entangled in Stool's fungal growths continues struggling and trying to break free, but it cannot pull itself loose.

The third quaggoth reaches down and grabs onto Stool's body, ripping out the pulsing fungal growths where its spores have taken root to protect it.
