Move fairly close then stay in the shadows observing the fight, if it turns it's back on me and it hasn't noticed me then attack it from behind, aim to slice it's rear leg muscles with a finesse attack then get out of the way.
Look for weak points while studying it.
Poke it in the body till dead.
Get up, wait until it leaves the stalagmites, throw more rocks. If it gets close just attempt to cut a leg
When I see an opportunity, lunge at it and stab it in the chest. Also, if Rune gets back, give him the rune-stone. Tell him it should be safe on low power.
Throw rocks at it
Patrick quickly positions himself out of reach behind a stalactite waiting for a chance to strike. While doing so he notice that the skin on the beasts body does look much less leathery than the skin on it's legs, though still quite thick. (4) He also notices that the ribs are spaced fairly widely apart.
While the others wait for an opportunity Scapheap attacks. (5-1 vs 3) His polearm, while not terribly effective in this scenario, still has enough length on it for him to stab at the beast safely. He tries going for a hit on the body, but can't control the unwieldy weapon quite well enough, only striking the beast in the shoulder. The thing retaliates, reaching it's long clawed legs out, but the reach of the halberd forces the beast to come forward out of it's mild cover in order for it to pursue Scapheap.
This is the distraction the others were waiting for.
(5 vs 1) Patrick sees the beast extend it's long legs to reach at Scapheap and slashes out with his dagger. His dagger is left embedded in the beasts tough leg, but the things movements afterwards reflect that it can no longer put any weight on that leg. It is undeniably crippled.
(5 vs 4) Adding to the chaos of the situation, Tomcost pelts it with rocks. A few hit their target but do minimal damage.
(1 vs 2) Urist attempts to join Tomcost but just ends up dropping all of his rocks. The beast probably had an opportunity in this, but was thankfully unaware of the situation.
(4 vs 5) Draco thinks he has the distraction he needs from Tomcosts rocks, and rushes in to stab the beast. It feels him coming though, and lashes out with a long front leg, pinning Draco to the ground beneath it. Draco will have to grapple to get out from under the beast, or he will be vulnerable to is vicious mouth.
I have no choice but to head back up.
You hear a commotion and rush down to where the mantis had been. You see a strange and gangly beast pinning Draco down. Draco says "It should be safe if you don't commit too much power to it." You aren't sure what this means, but you think dealing with the strange beast probably has priority over deciphering his words.
Fill up second bucket from stream

(2.0 consumed) Your food stocks are fantastic. (26.4 edible)
You have one barrel of freshwater, and one barrel of cave water. You have 4 turns of fresh water and 4 turns of cave water.
(4) The skies are a clear, but despite the suns warming rays it is a little cold out.
You are have a small door protecting your cave from animals. Passages deeper into the cave are not longer protected.
You know where a fresh stream is just outside the cave. There is a pool which seems safe in the cave's atrium.
