"Good, tell me when. He's clear, everyone. I'm closing in case nobody comes and we want to move on promptly."

Two troglodytes follow the call of their fellow and rush for Tomas. They make swipes with their claws. Tomas dodges out of the way.

Tomas carves into one of them. They collapse.

Yanor moves his glare to the standing troglodyte that attacked Tomas. It falls asleep and crumples to the ground.

Eight more troglodytes emerge into the cave entrance from deeper within. They don't have enough time to do anything else.

The last awake troglodyte next to Tomas swings for him with a claw. Miss.

Julen slices twice with his twin shortswords at a troglodyte. One attack lands. They bleed slightly.

The fog still needs to stay up, it certainly seems to be helping. In some more.

"More troglodytes coming in! I'll hold the fog for now, tell me if a Burst would be better."

Tomas thrusts forward at a troglodyte and misses. His aim was poor.

"Now would be a good time for that burst of yours." He whispers and moves his glare to one of the troglodyte reinforcements. They fall asleep.

The injured troglodyte claws and bites at Julen but can't get past his armor.

A troglodyte reinforcement moves forward to the edge of the fog.

Julen steps backward and tries to hide within the fog and lunges forward and his shortsword bounces off the troglodyte's natural armor.

And there are six conscious and one sleeping troglodyte all nicely clustered up in that thin, thin passage to the main entryway.

The fog drops. Burst of Radiance, encompassing one two three four five six seven of the creatures.

(Julen's swordsmanship is... human. Oh well.)

Those seven troglodytes are now seared within an inch of unconsciousness. They're still awake... barely... and blinded.

Three of them retreat very slowly deeper into the caves.

Tomas skewers the only troglodyte with reach. Its wounds become too great and it falls to the ground.

Two more blinded and wounded troglodytes perform a slow retreat.

Yanor moves his glare to the one reinforcement troglodyte that wasn't in the burst. It falls asleep.

One last blinded and wounded troglodyte retreats.

Another set of troglodyte reinforcements begins to emerge from a different tunnel! They don't have time to do much.

Julen swings downward at one of the sleeping troglodytes and cuts its head off.

"I'll Burst when those ones are all through. Yanor, you cue me."

Tomas plunges his rapier through the eye of another sleeping troglodyte. It dies.

Ten troglodyte reinforcements from this second group have emerged so far.
