1: What a strange view

Khezzik opens the door to a now well-lit room. This is an artificers workshop, there is no doubt. Tools are hanging on every wall, and different contraptions and half-finished projects are struned about amongst piles of paper.

This is now ever not what captives Khezzik attention. There are hundreds of dead bugs on the floor and a great number are crawling around on the floor. He has now seen his fair share of these bugs and he can see that some of these bugs are different. A large number of blue bugs are crawling around and through a skeleton, but there is also a small group that is purple, a bit bigger and odd. He can't put his finger on it, but they are strange.

"More bugs, more skelly-bones." As long as the bugs don't rush at the door, Khezzik will push it open a little wider to let Nirion take a look into the room as well. "Weird skellington, human-ish but no jaw, no teeth, see? You know a critter like that? Must have to eat soup through a straw, or only eat very soft things. Nirion reckons the weird skellington is making the bugs weird too?"

As Khezzik opens the door even further, he sees a reaction from the purple bugs. They have noticed that something has changed in their environment.

Nirion does go in, stepping on the mana bugs that he can squish

Akio sails silently into the artificing workshop, looking for visible and invisible items of interests.

Nirion walks forward squashing bugs as he recognizes something of his on the artificer's work table. His bag of holding is been attached to a thin wooden frame (think chopsticks) and a black disk has been suspended just in front of his open bag. He realizes with horror that someone has weaponized the magical catastrophe of putting a portable hole into a bag of holding. In a sense, there is an exposed warhead attached to a ballista bolt, in the middle of the table.

What Khezzek and Akio notice is the imidate reaction of the squashing bugs. The purple bugs react somehow and blue bugs come streaming. Up from the floors and down from the ceiling. They come crawling through the groves, with the blue paint, that are on every wall, floor, and sealing of the ship.

They crawl on and over you, biting any exposed flesh they can find.

For once, it's Khezzik's turn to be surprised at someone else's recklessness, as Nirion stamps his way into the room. "Ack! What you doing? Make bugs crazy!"

Summoning a handful of fire and hurling it at the nearest purple bugs, Khezzik then ducks out through the door and between Leo's legs to get behind him.

The bugs swarm over Nirion and tear into his flesh

As Khezzik runs through his legs, he yells to Nirion, "Fall back!". Little slivers of extradimensional magic creep into the room and wrap themselves around the purple bug at G8, then constrain tightly as he releases two arrows quickly at the bug. Leo then ducks out of the way to leave space for Nirion to run out of the room if he chooses to.

On his go, Nirion will duck out the door.
