Fletcher stops and raises a hand for the others to halt. A faint rustling sound comes from the southern most oven. The warforged points for Oloven to focus his light in that direction as he begins to slowly press forward.

Helion readies his sling staff.

As the light shines on the oven, Fletcher and Helion are ready, weapons out, moving forward for the warforged.

It only takes about thirty seconds before the oven bursts open spilling forth a mass of yellow centipedes. The writhing swarm spills out filling the chamber floor in a blanket of legs and worm like bodies. It lurches forward as if a single mind toward the group and its next meal -- you.

The group as the mass forms up...

Fletcher sprints forward toward the insect swarm and readies his blade. Stopping just short, the warforged sweeps his greatsword through the mass as if using a broom to clean the floor.

"Oh, that's not good! I don't think our weapons are effective against so many insects." Even though he doubts his attack would be of any help, Helion shoots a bullet using his sling staff.

Oloven's face sags as he looks at the mass of centipedes that spew out of the oven. "That is what happens when you don't put enough flour."

Oloven sheathes his longsword and unloosens the large leather strap that holds his heavy mace to his waist. He then re-casts his light spell onto his mace.

Oloven switches to his mace, hoping to squish the bugs, but as he puts his blade away the light goes out! So he casts another light on his mace and it lights up like a torch.

Fletcher moves up to the swarm and sweeps his blade side to side killing a few of the creatures but really not doing much.

Helion fires into the mass, but his bullet is lost in seconds and hardly seems to do anything to it.

The swarm then moves over Fletcher. Dozens and dozens of the poisonous creature climb up Fletcher, they get under his plates, biting and stinging, they climb into his mouth, his ears, and every little crack biting and poisoning him. Luckily he can't be poisoned.

The group...

"I am completely out of magic and have no way of killing these things. I think it may be time to retreat." Oloven swings his illuminated heavy mace at any centipedes that get closer.

"I have to agree. None of my extraplanar allies can help either."

Fletcher can now see that the insects are so diminutive in nature, any attack he can muster will be futile. Now enveloped, the warforged turns back towards where they came from and starts running. "Let us live to fight another day!" As he is fleeing, Fletcher swipes all the centipedes off him that he can and muses that the lack of a simple torch has come back to haunt them once more.
