Easily swallowing its breakfast of maggots, the thri-kreen watching the entrance is the least surprised when the beast shows up. Not wishing to get caught in the cavern's bottleneck, Krig draws the bow it used yesterday and lets an arrow fly. "Arise, my clan! Another beast is upon us."

Krig's arrow hits one of the creature's many eyes but even so is unable to deal full damage (DR. I forgot mouthers had DR....) The eye keeps blinking and simply spits off the arrow, as the monster slowly aproaches (fast healing)

Pyrtari, for her part, tests a theory. She moves forward until she is just within 40' of the mouther, and if she is able to maintain her sanity, she taps into her fey heritage to compel the mouther to: "Stop attacking us and guard the entrance." (suggestion, DC 17) attacks Bud feebly. (see OOC)

Katya cowers in fear and braces herself to run from the mouther, before being surprised by the bug-man's claws glancing harmlessly off her hide. She turns and roars in his face, preparing to return the attack.
