    Fire envelops two of the lizards in three surges, each making contact as the most damaged of the altered lizardfolk collapses on its face, its skin shriveling in the heat.
    The other lizard that was scalded roars in anger, then ducks its head sharply to avoid the flaming crossbow bolt.

    When Mirafa reaches melee range with the lizardfolk, she sees to her right that three more of the creatures are waiting down the narrow tunnel that the first had come from. One of them charges at her and tackles her from the side pushing her to the ground.

    Mirafa is being shoved prone, she can resist with athletics or acrobatics of her choice against the not!lizardfolk's 19 athletics.

    Liara is up.

    Two darts careen into the lizard that dodged the magical crossbow bolt, and it collapses with two forceful holes in its body, dead.

    One of the lizards in the formation breaks to run to Mirafa's side and tries planting a foot on her shoulder to keep her down. Both of its tentacles point at Emrig, and nothing seems to happen. Emrig is left undamaged.

    Emrig, you're up.

    Emrig is pretty sure he hit a lung with how strained the creature's scream is, but it keeps one foot firmly planted on Liara's shoulder while two more of the things run in from the same direction and take up position in between the rest of you all and Mirafa. Their tentacles point at Emrig, but once more he seems to have lucked out. However, the lizards' bites dig into Mirafa's stomach, some of which she can feel through the armor. Then one of the first four of the creatures you saw joins in on the fun and attempts to dig its teeth into Mirafa's neck, but is bashed aside by her shield.

    Brandishing her shield up before her, Mirafa does not bother trying to get out from under this creature. Not yet, anyway. The time isn't right. Instead, the young tiefling woman focuses on her faith in and devotion to Helm.

    Ward me, Helm, for but a moment!

    Feeling the warmth of her faith flood through her, she then places her fist still holding her sword over her chest and pours more of her faith into her wounds, feeling some of the pain recede in the burning light of her faith.

    The lizard that had initially thrown Mirafa onto the ground attempted to bite down at her but it became unable to do so, its jaws freezing in place. It shook its head and walked away from Mirafa, aiming its tentacles at Emrig as it moved 30 feet nearer to the rest of the party. Emrig felt a single spike in the pain in his head, then hit the ground, unconscious.

    The three bolts leave darts in the flesh of the lizard, and it screeches at her. The four lizardfolk surrounding Mirafa aim their tentacles at Liara, but nothing seems to happen. They all then turn their attention to Mirafa, whose magical defenses left her once she attacked the creature that Liara had shot. Even though she is on the ground and unable to move, one of them loses teeth on her armor but doesn't manage much else. However, even more of the attacks break through to some degree.

    Avaris's crossbow bolt flies into the eye of the lizard on Mirafa and it immediately collapses, still twitching due to the bolt in its head but obviously dead.
    The lizard that had run up to you all looked directly at Avaris, its intelligent eyes filing away everything it knew about him. Its tentacles point back at Emrig to keep him down but they fail to do so, so it charges at Avaris and sinks its teeth into his left arm. '

    Liara's bolts fire into the two weakest altered lizardfolk, but neither falls. The one that charged Avaris sways a moment, stumbling and near-death. Emrig aims an arrow to end it as it sways, but at the last moment it regains its footing and ducks under the shot.
    One of the creatures surrounding Mirafa bites into her and makes contact, but doesn't manage to bring her down. It hisses and aims its tentacles at her head. Mirafa's brain screams once, then she collapses unconscious. The lizard that downed her steps over her toward the rest of the party.
    The next lizard to act simply doesn't, closing its eyes for a moment before approaching the rest of the party as the former. To most of you, nothing happens. Mirafa, something alien, foreign, other is in your mind. It feels almost slimy. It says nothing, but its presence is palpable nonetheless, like an interested but silent eye staring through you.
    The next lizard steps over Mirafa's prone form and joins the other two in a formation of three, aiming its tentacle at Emrig to put him back down, but fails.

    The creatures hiss as Liara's shots scatter across them. One of the bolts sink into the head of the most exhausted of the lizards, and for a second you are certain it will die. But poking out of the hole in its skull, a tentacle reaches out of its brain and expands to stop the bleeding.
    The nearest lizard to Liara hisses and screeches in a more focused manner.

    Emrig's arrow flies into the hole in the head of the lizard that had just... spoken? It embedded itself in the tentacle, and a squeal invades each of your minds. The lizard itself makes no scream of its own, and unlike the others that died violently, it simply crumples onto the ground as if it were switched off. Even so, the tentacles at the end of its horns thrash a moment before finally resting.
    One of the last two points its tentacles at Emrig to put the dwarf back on the ground, and though the mind spike does occur he remains on his feet. The lizard charges up to Emrig and tries to bite into the dwarf, but Emrig manages to backpedal out of the way. The other one also runs toward Emrig, abandoning its fight with Mirafa. During its run it aims its tentacles at Emrig but fails to hurt him. Finally it bites down on Emrig's neck and the dwarf collapses once again.
