Vibrator Quality Control, Hello? HELLO!? WHAAAT!?

The group continued their slow caravan towards the Elven City, as snow began to fall.

The party, seeing the snow, all realized just how long they'd been together in an urgent mission to save the world.  The general consensus was that they should probably get started on that.

And then, a sudden distraction appeared.

Seemingly out of nowhere, a sudden loud buzzing and screeching was heard from all around the party.

"To arms!" Yelled Ash, readying his spear in anticipation.

The group looked towards the sound, and saw that there were dozens of large, wasp-like creatures carrying medium sized humanoid creatures upon their saddled backs.  Tribby cast mirror image on herself, in an effort to prolong what seemed very likely to be inevitable.

From a distance, they almost resembled a red ant riding a wasp.  But, as they neared the party, they soon realized that these were no simple-minded bugs, as they attacked with both precision, accuracy, and strategy.

The 50 armed sentries launched a volley of arrows and slung rocks upon the attackers, who seemed to easily weave between the shots with the utmost of aerial precision and dexterity.  Suddenly, the party was in chaos, as the world went utterly dark.  "Light!" Yelled Ash, "we need some light!" and, with that, he launched himself upwards in an effort to escape the darkness.

As luck would have it, there was one of the raiders directly above him and, he thrust his spear upwards into the giant wasp.  It screeched and stung him, causing him to scream in agony as the acidic venom was inserted into his bloodstream.  As he fell back to the ground, it was with terrifying relief that he realized his body was going numb.

"dish id subbuddy ebbes babble nub!" he said, his lips paralyzing up with the rest of him.  All around him, were screams of agony, and the constant sound of the terrifying, buzzing wings.

And then, his consciousness left him completely.

DM's Note:  To be fair, I just kinda "cinema-ed" this in an attempt to streamline our storylines together.  We had two new people to join the campaign, and I didn't want them watching a lengthly battle.


(as it turned out, they ended up watching a lengthly shopping spree instead, but, what can ya do eh?)
