Chimwemwe plants his spear in the dead fly and then pulls on the straps behind his shield in order to drop the twisted bronze to the floor. "Binji's friends are a bit worse for wear," he says, breathing heavily. "Alrinkiri, let me see to your injuries."

You all know lots of stuff about this fly; it was taight in one of Koride's classes and Wisps and Chim aced that quiz. This was a Giant Tsetse fly, a harbringer of disease that is despised throughout the region. A single giant tsetse fly can kill an entire herd of large animals within a few weeks, and those they don’t kill often succumb to disease.
They were originally created by a group of evil druids near Bloodcove, who captured and bred flies to distill and empower the disease they spread. They underestimated the flies’ ingenuity; the insects escaped and fed on several animals the druids had ritually prepared for sacrifice. They killed the druids and scattered into the surrounding fens.

"Let's withdraw to the room we warded." While Chimwemwe works on applying his special poultices mixed with metal salts and sap from the flowers in the haunted fields to Alrinkiri, he says, "I can tend to your injuries, but, hmm, I can't deal with the, hmm, the affliction quickly. I'm not, hmm, good enough yet. I'm sorry." The Lirgeni man does not look very well himself. Once he finishes his ministrations for Alrinkiri, he turns his attention to his own wounds.
"I'll take a look at that pick after I get done here, if, hmm, if someone else hasn't," he says while he begins to clean out the deep gouges on his shoulder. "That pick cut through my shield faster than a, hmm, a normal pick."

Based on what you know (having heard Nuglub ordering gremlins around and the fact kidnapped students saw her), you have killed one of Stone Ghost's main lieutenants. Kurshkin is also out of the picture as well, having sold out the boss whom she was coerced into helping.

While you heal up, Binji starts cleaning the room, anxiously muttering to herself while she scrapes mold off the old floorboards. Help help help. Binji always help. She is so good. Now she has bg friends who don't kick her to help help help. She offers to polish the scratches and dried blood off your gear, too. By the end of the two hours in here, everything is very clean (minus the fleas).

Alrinkiri pauses for a long moment, silently examining the room for any danger that might have killed the centipedes before cautiously approaching the nearest one to examine it.
Secret gm roll, none of you failed to detect traps initially
Alrinkiri doesn't notice anything amiss, so they approach. They stop to inspect the centipede, and notes that the carcass is coiled right around wire springs. If it is touched the creature coil and uncoil violently, repeatedly flinging hundreds of sharpened legs around the room. Worse still, if one of these traps is set off it is likely to set off the other ones as well.

Alrinkiri pads quietly back to the corridor and describes the scene. "I'm afraid the spring is beyond my ability to disengage (not expert in Thievery yet), and I'm not confident that I could disassemble the corpses enough to neutralize the trap. One of you may be better suited to that task. Otherwise, perhaps we could set them off somehow from the safety of the hallway?"

Chimwemwe hangs the witch's pick from his belt before they set out once more. Finding the larger cave dangerously filled with traps, he suggests, "Let's stay well back while Alrinkiri takes a look."
Once they return and relay that disarming them is beyond their skill, he nods. "Then let us continue on the path we had been on and keep heading north."

Soomdevi, who grew up on the docks of Bloodcove, and therefore isn't a stranger to a little thievery, borrows Alrinkiri's tools and attempts to disarm the trap.

"All this time, I didn't realize you like engineering, too," Chimwemwe says with a chuckle. "Also, I'm glad that I don't need to sew you up after that bit of bravery." He gives the kayal an affectionate slap on the shoulder.
Soomdevi handles all the traps. They look pretty nasty too.
The room to the North susurrates with feeble buzzing. Broken carapaces of giant bee drones are heaped into its corners and reeks of the sickly-sweet smell of decay. Three recently-dug tunnels lead away.
The Gnargrifs mining the tunnels are here; they turn and attack! You will note "S" doors on the map, Binji will point the area towards the center as another gremlin sleeping area, and it doesn't affect this combat. There is also. bee in the corner, but it looks exhausted.
The gremlin explodes. Bingi peeks around the corner. EEE! So much mess for Binji to clean! She anxiously scratches her ears.

The first gnargrif grumbles as it rushes Akoril, entering his square and stomping around. The earth around magically churns, becoming difficult terrain.

A tiny creature can move through another creature's square, but can a medium creature move through a tiny creature's square? If so, Alrinkiri moves through Akoril/the gnar's shared space, which means 30ft speed gets them to their flank position and they can attack twice. If not, double move through difficult terrain to go around and only the one attack.

Chimwemwe hastily traces the hidden symbol on his forearm as the gnargrif rushes them. His tattoos and the glyphs on his armor flicker with yellow light and then fail to illuminate. "Curses!"
Assessing that pressing the offense now is more important, he draws the witch's pick and swings it at the shark-headed gremlin.

Wisps misses her target. Gnar 1 curses the listless bee and runs into Alrinkiti's square and attempts to crush their toes with their hammer. It ignores this difficult terrain, as you may have guessed.

Chimwemwe follows after the gremlin plaguing Akoril. "Whoa!" Unfortunately, knowing the gremlin's ability to knock people down does not help him to keep his balance. He falls with a clang and ponderously regains his footing.
"I'll distract it," he says with a glance to Alrinkiri.

Chimwemwe follows after the gremlin until it disappears into the tunnel. He frowns, quickly considering his options. "If there's more coming to fight," he says as he drops the witch's pick, "should be ready for them."
With his now empty hand, he traces the sign on the inside of his arm with a finger. This time the glyphs and tattoos illuminate. He reaches down to collect the pick.

Chimwemwe clambers back over the rubble to make it back to Alrinkiri. "You're not alone," he says as he arrives and swings the rune-laced pick at one of the gremlins harassing the automaton.
