Hunter looks at Hanne. "That sounds like something big coming right for us," she says. "What do we do?"
Jan 16, 2019 7:20 pm
"I'm guessing that is one of the fabled purple worms. Any chance we can outrun it?"
Jan 17, 2019 2:22 pm
Hanne shakes her head, eyes wide in fear, "I don't know! My family usually tries to avoid the worms," she says, fear clear in her voice.
As she turns to Mai'ngor to reply, the east wall of the bone-filled chamber bursts open, rocks and dust filling the room. Looking through the dust, you see the massive creature right before you, its maw large enough to swallow a horse and its wagon whole.
Taken by surprise at the messy entrance, you don't have a chance to react before two of the dwarves you rescued are scooped up and swallowed whole by the monstrous worm.

Hunter's spell erupts from the ground, shattering stone and battering the gigantic worm.
Xeliss' spell pulls from the life force of the worm and it's flesh sags slightly from its huge body.
Mai'ngor fearlessly charges the great beast, slashing it twice with his light-forged blade. The flesh melts away beneath his furious attacks.
The dwarves, angered by the loss of their companions, roar and charge the monster heedless of the danger. Neither of them seem to be able to get through the creature's powerful hide.
Sarith looks at his short blades and sighs before rushing the beast from the side, staying out of the radius of Sinag's light. He gets two good slashes in, spraying the creature's blood across the bone-filled floor.
Purple Worm: 134/247, AC 18

The worm, enraged, thrashes wildly, crushing both of the dwarves under its bulk. It then bites at Mai'ngor before stabbing at Sarith with a huge stinger on its tail.
It grabs hold of Mai'ngor in its mouth and begins to swallow the tikbalang (29 vs AC. Damage: 25)It's tail stinger plunges straight into stomach of Sarith. He staggers back and falls to the ground, a large hole in his gut. (27 vs AC. Damage: 19 piercing, 42 poison)
