[Petals & Thrones] Session 18: March of the Garden Ants

Session XVIII

Our heroes find the spawning chambers of the Great Hive, which activates a number of the local guards. Ribbles throws a fireball, which goes around a corner and kills a leafcutter near one of the huge pools, ultimately spawning a mega centipede, giant tarantula, & a huntsman before they move Sharra to throw down another wall of fire to ignite all of the nearby pools to stop them from further spawning.

By this point, emergency protocols are activated, so by the time the heroes slay the local stuff, a score of garden ants from the West begin to attack while leafcutters skitter near the huge pools untouched by the players for fear they activate the small pools nearby.

Fortunately, after a prolonged combat, including a few spare spawns from the East, they ultimately kill everything. They take another short rest to recoup and spam necrotic/poison cantrips to clear out all of the pools in the chamber.

Of course, the rest of the Hive begins to fully realize it's under attack, and respawns are beginning during this time.
