The stone dagger impacts the spider in the back, lodging into its chitinous body. The creature spins around and hisses at the newly announced threat, but Borthan has already relieved Kronryn of life and weapon and ascended the ladder with due haste, reaching as far as the trapdoor above.
Emboldened by the vigor of Shuushar's orison, Topsy leaps up and kicks off of the cave wall with her foot, diving onto the Quaggoth and delivering a flying kick to its throat. The creature chokes and gasps for air before passing out, and Topsy keeps her foot firmly pressed down, starving it for air even if her weight is not enough to completely break its windpipe. At last, the creature's breathing stops altogether and it goes still. Only then does she remove her boot and sigh in relief, turning to face the path to freedom.
But then, suddenly, a feral shout causes her to jump. One of the quaggoth has roused from its unconsciousness and surged upwards, landing atop Buppido. It lays into the derro with its claws, savaging him across the face and chest.
