Ruins of Azlant: The Lost Outpost, GM Battle Book [GMOOB]

R1T17: Kaen nods to himself. He was reasonably certain that his defenses were adequate against the swarm, but it was reassuring to have confirmation. He shifts his astral suit to its most flexible form and strikes at the swarm with the torch, trying to slay what bugs he can and safely disperse the rest. Mind you, this is the first battlefield test, and he finds that his torch simply pongs against the inside of the barrier for little effect ... he is on the outside, and bugs are on the outside with him sealed in the barrier. It is also at this time that Kaen notes that his hand is feeling very warm right now.

End Round One, Begin Round 2 ...

R2T18: Cockroaches completely unable to do enough damage to matter ...

R2T17: Kaen, your whole upper body is starting to feel very warm, and the air quality is fast eroding. What do you do?

R2T17: Kaen realized his error, as he'd caught the torch in his protective bubble. Popping it with a thought, he moved out of the swarm, tossing the the torch onto the ground out of the swarm and following after it. He didn't realize it at the time, but throwing the torch - even a small distance - was enough that he doesn't have the time to then activate the bubble as well, so he quickly bends down to retrieve the torch, looking back at the swarm, a look of mild frustration on his features as he knows with worry what happens next.

End Round 2, Begin Round 3 ...

R3T18: Sure enough, the cockroaches swarm him, staying away from his torch hand, and they start to chew what ever they can ... enough that they get through the protection of his skin to do 2 mod.

R3T17: Kaen, roll a Fort save to keep from being creeped out. What do you do?

Mr. Arvodair opens the door.

Begin Round One ...

R1T22: The strange woman is behind Mr. Arvodair in the doorway. She steps past him, up the step and into the building against the eastern wall. Facing the southwest, she breathes in deep, and the strange irregular marks on her body, limbs, and face go from a faint red glow to a brighter orange and she breathes out. Vomiting out of her distending mouth are blackened hunks of burning rock and copious amounts of a viscous, red-orange bright fluid that covers much of the swarm. Many of the cockroaches move out of the way, but this strange attack still washes over the swarm even then to do 6 + 1 fire.

"Leave now while you still can," she says to Kaen. "I will expel noxious fumes that cover a 50' radius. Get everyone well away."

R1T19: The cockroaches try in vain to affect Kaen, but do nibble and bite on the otherworldly woman for 5.

R1T18: Kaen, what do you do?
