Two of the archers strike home, but the skeletal warrior misses.
The wasp-on-wasp dogfights are horrific and one sided.
Grey casts a spell and stones rain down from the sky, decimating both swarms.
The ground trembles as the stones rain down.
The clear area in the center of the bones suddenly flips open, and a huge spider emerges... its fat body larger than an elephant. Propelled out of the ground it strikes randomly around the hole like lightning as if confused, then turns towards the Runelords.
Figures seem glued to its back.
One of the figures is a Mite, and another a hideous statue. The other four are wasp larvae slowly emerging from the spider, their tiny forms likely doing little damage to the enormous form.

Finally having an enemy in range, the skeletal warrior lashed out with both claws.
The Master in Grey, seeing that his minions seemed to be have things well in hand, continued to concentrate on the oncoming threats. He steps back away from the crowd and rains down another hail of boulders.
As the attacking wasps swarm past the bees they take some hits, but mostly dodge agiley out of the way.
The skeletons attacking into the whirling melee seem unable to connect.
The rain of stones leaves the swarms of smaller wasps decimated, but they do reform - just.
The giant spider barely notices the impacts.
Distracted by the buzzing of the Mite's mounts, Arioch flails about him with his mistress' symbolic weapon, failing utterly to strike anything save air.

Suddenly it is gone - blurring up into the sky.
Effortlessly the enormous arachnid covers the distance to the combat. As it lands at unearthly speeds it lashes out with its pedipalps, tagging a slow animated wasp. Pulled closer the wasp is under the creature when it lands, crushed beyond all hope of recovery.
The spider, now motionless again, freezes as the ground around it reverberates with the sound of its impact, its fat abdomen pressed into the earth.
=Zb2.
The giant wasps attacking the party scatter as the spider lands, but one doesn't make it as with blurring speed the spider lashes out and destroys it.
