fort DC13: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

This time, Mantis is unaffected by the stench, having experienced it first hand before. It retaliates, attacking the source of the smell, even though it starts to get woozy.

Mantis also quickly lashes out with one of its large claw just as its master attacks.

crit?: 1d20 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 + 1 + 1 = 14 dmg: 1d4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 = 3

As directed by its master, Mantis keeps up the attack. It releases the troglodyte, only just to free its claws to keep slashing away.

vs red: claw 1, ant focus: 1d20 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 + 1 = 17 dmg: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 grab if hit: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 1 = 23

After stepping in, Mantis lashes out with both claws.

vs blue: claw 1, ant focus: 1d20 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 + 1 = 21 dmg: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 grab if hit: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 5 + 1 = 19

Immediately after, Mantis rakes across with its claw, but it is still woozy from the poison earlier and strikes the bed instead.

vs blue: claw 1, ant focus, flank: 1d20 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 1 = 8 dmg: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 grab if hit: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 5 + 1 = 24

I assume Mantis is no longer sickened?

Mantis leaps forward on its powerful wings and feels his Master slamming his long claw on the bony creature. It then lashes out with its own claw, but is clearly still woozy from the stench earlier.

vs red: claw 1, ant focus, charge: 1d20 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 + 2 = 7 dmg: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 grab if hit: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 5 + 1 + 2 = 19

Despite the horrid stench it just can seem to get rid off, Mantis knows better (in its insect brain) to keep attacking. It quickly releases its prey but only to free its claws to continue attacking.

vs red: claw 1, ant focus, charge, sickened: 1d20 + 1 + 1 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 1 + 1 + 2 - 2 = 18 dmg: 1d4 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 1 - 2 = 3 grab if hit: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 5 + 1 + 2 - 2 = 16

fort DC11: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Mantis, however, feels the horrid stench infusing its body, especially lacking proper ways to hold its breath. It desperately shakes it head trying to shake away whatever it is, but its Master has commanded so it continues moving forward, lashing out with an unsteady claw.

vs red: claw 1, ant focus, charge, sickened: 1d20 + 1 + 1 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 1 + 1 + 2 - 2 = 18 dmg: 1d4 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 1 - 2 = 1 grab if hit: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 1 + 2 - 2 = 13

After its master has attacked, Mantis releases the lizard only to free its claws to attack once again.

vs lizard: claw 1, ant focus, flank: 1d20 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 + 2 = 7 dmg: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 grab if hit: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 1 + 2 = 9
vs lizard: claw 2, ant focus, flank: 1d20 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 + 2 = 6 dmg: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2grab if hit: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 1 + 2 = 15

Mantis is actually a ... mantis. :) Couldn't find a picture for that though, so using a giant ant token.

ref: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Mantis is badly shocked by the lizard, but nonetheless continues slashing away at the reptile.

vs lizard: claw 1, ant focus: 1d20 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 1 = 6 dmg: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 grab if hit: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 1 = 7

Mantis also swings out one of its large claw down upon the creature.

vs lizard: claw 1, ant focus: 1d20 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 + 1 = 12 dmg: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 grab if hit: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 1 = 14

... while Mantis lashes out in coordination with its evil claws.

vs spider: claw 1, ant focus: 1d20 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 1 = 6 dmg: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 grab if hit: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 5 + 1 + 2 = 21

Mantis looks down at the fallen dog curiously, probably wondering if it would make a meal. Its thoughts(?) are interrupted by another dog that run up to take is place. Cocking its head the other way, it quickly lashes out with both claws.

vs green?: claw 1, ant focus: 1d20 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 + 1 = 21 dmg: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 grab if hit: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 5 + 1 + 2 = 28

Mantis feels the shock as its master's sharp stick slams into his target. It continues closing the distance and lashes out with its right claw.

vs orange: claws, ant focus, charge: 1d20 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 1 + 1 + 2 = 18 dmg: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 grab if hit: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 1 + 2 = 10

In coordination with its master, the giant mantis tears into the large beast. It then steps back to the edge of the river.

Mantis lands in front of the little lizard creature and while its master swings his large claw, it similarly reaches out with its deadly right claw.

vs blue: claw 1: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16 dmg: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 grab: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Mantis swivels its head around to look for whatever its master is trying to find, but its vermin brain understands little.

At his rider's urging, Mantis switches target, swinging its grasping claws at the skeleton standing beside the below, while stepping against the wall for protection.

vs blue: claw 1: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22 dmg: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 grab: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

Mantis lands right in front of the walking skeleton and lashes out with its right claw and snapping on air instead.

vs purple: claw, charge: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 + 2 = 11 dmg: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 grab: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 2 = 10

Mantis swipes one of its front at the mass of snakes then takes into the air.
claw: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12 dmg: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 bludgeoning

Not sure how big a swarm is height-wise, but Mantis would just fly above it.

Mantis rears its head up and clacks its mandibles threateningly when Dolora approaches!

The two large eyes of Mantis stare at each of you in turn as its triangular head swivels about with quick jerks.
