Rory

The scream made Rory wince, but it wasn't enough to throw him off as he jabbed up towards one of the beast's limbs, preparing for his true attack.

Ehto
Ehto slashes the Flead Larvae Swarm, ensnaring each larva with black tendrils.

Ehto deals 29 damage to the Flead Larvae Swarm, killing 2 Flead Larvae and Ensnaring the rest. She also applies a stack of Dread, reducing the Flead Larvae Swarm’s damage by 6. Ehto gains Might.

Tsubasa
As the battle rages around her, Tsubasa continues to focus.

Tsubasa concentrates again, gaining 1 Concentration (now 3) and 4 more temporary HP (now 8). She now gains the effects of Total Concentration Breathing!

Rory
Rory does a quick stab at the Flead Queen with the gunlance, readying it for further attacks - but the Queen’s multicolored spines dig into Rory.

Rory deals 10 damage to the Flead Queen. He will deal extra damage if he attacks again next turn.
The Flead Queen's carapace is now Scratched.
The Flead Queen's spines dig into Rory! He receives 1 Impair (all outgoing direct damage is reduced by 33%, decays by 1 at the end of the next turn) and 1 Exposed (All subsequent incoming attacks will deal an extra 1 damage per stack, decays by 2 at the end of the next turn).

6 Flead Larvae
The Flead Larvae struggle against the tendrils to no avail.

The Flead Larvae have no actions that don't require physical movement, and thus do nothing this turn.

4 Fleads
The Fleads bite at Rory from all angles, though his fighting techniques shield him from the worst of it.

The Fleads Bite Rory, dealing 6 damage 4 times (total 24) and applying 4 Exposed (now 5).
Rory's Aura heals him! He gains 1 HP 6 times (total 6).

Utzi
The bitter chill Utzi creates harms and slows the Fleads and the Queen around him. One of the Fleads can barely move...

Utzi deals 14 damage to the Fleads and 19 damage to the Flead Queen, while also reducing their INIT by 2 (now 5 and 3, respectively).
The Flead Queen's carapace is now Cracked.

Baron Support
The Barons toss another grenade in, this one creating a field of lingering sparkles that surround the flead and seem to affect her vision.

The Flead Queen gains 3 Impair.

Flead Queen
The Flead Queen directs her rage at Rory and bites him with all her might.

The Flead Queen deals 22 damage to Rory, applying 1 Exposed to him (new total 6).
Rory's aura heals him! Rory gains 2 HP!
Rory has lost over 25% of his HP this battle (currently lost 46, needs 29 [28.5 rounded up] to activate). His aura activates! He now has 3 DR against all sources for the remainder of this battle.

Friedhold and Nessa
Friedhold waves his hand and a shield appears around Rory, deflecting any and all forms of attack.

Rory gains Iron Sides, increasing his DR by 9 for the next two turns.

Tsubasa gains 1 Concentration (now 4) from Meikyo Shisui. She may now make use of Storm Breathing.

1 more Flead and 1 more Flead Larvae join the battle (now 7 Fleads and 5 Flead Larvae).

Tsubasa

It was time. The way it moved, she found her opportunity. Before her conscious mind prompted it, a brilliant blue flash exploded forward, a cut aimed at the Queen.

Spoiler: Ehto Status (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Loadout (click to show/hide)


With the Larvae restrained, Ehto sheathed her thorn within the fur of her chest (more like plunged it in like her name was Martyr, really), again pushing off the ground with her claws gleaming. She fell upon the queen once more, savagely prying open the deep rents she had already left in it's armored carapace, and stealing the occasional bite of flesh. Not even the spines digging into her seemed to be much deterrent.

Ehto Mauls the Flead Queen, dealing 6d10+14 Physical/Slashing damage, healing herself for 1/2 the damage, and inflicting another stack of Shredded (lowers the target's DR by [6] per stack; Negative DR values directly increase the damage taken). Might is consumed and Ehto gains Sorcery.

(Ehto's cloak automatically nullifies the first two ailments against her, in case attacking the queen inflicts her with Exposed).

Rory

The spikes digging into his hand made the Faunus grunt, he'd need a moment to readjust his grip but he couldn't waste the moment he had now. And so he thrust his gunlance up and into the beast, pinning a limb out of the way as his weapon glowed red with power, and finally discharged a plume of flame and an explosive filled stake into the vulnerability he saw.

Rory Wrymstakes the Queen.
(Deals an extra 3d6 damage, total is reduced by 33% due to Impaired)

Utzi
Utzi's frown deepens as he watches the queen take a colossal bite out of the already somewhat hurt Rory, before he takes a deep breath, cups his hands around his mouth, and snow whips up around him, forming the illusory image of a gigantic quadruped with colossal tusks coalesces out of thin air behind him, as Utzi lets out a bellowing shout that draws attention to him.

Glacier's Call, targeting the Flead queen and 2 of the fleads.
Current Effect: Target up to 3 enemies. They must attack Utzi before his next turn, if able. Additionally, Utzi takes 1d10 + 4 less damage until his next turn, and enemies making physical, melee attacks on him take 2d6+Syn cold damage.

Ehto
The sorceress slices apart what remains of the Flead Queen's carapace, sundering the flesh beneath.
Ehto deals 84 Physical/Slashing damage to the Flead Queen, and heals herself for 0 HP (42, but Ehto is already at her max HP of 114). She also inflicts another stack of Shredded (now 2) reducing the Flead Queen’s DR by 6. Ehto’s Might is consumed and she now gains Sorcery.
The Flead Queen’s Spined Carapace is now Broken!

Tsubasa
With nothing to protect her, the Flead Queen receives the full brunt of Tsubasa's slash.
Tsubasa spends 4 Concentration (now 0) and deals 94 damage. She then focuses, giving herself 1 Concentration and 4 more Temporary HP (now 12).

Rory
Rory rushes in with his gunlance and fires at the Queen, setting her alight.
Rory deals 34 damage and inflicts a burn (1d6 damage for 3 turns and 1d6+8 damage when the burn wears off).

7 Flead Larvae
The Flead Larvae rush down Ehto, lashing at her with their spined tails, but the cloak Ehto’s wearing renders the larvae completely harmless.
The Flead Larvae deal 0 damage 7 times (total 0). They also inflict Exposed on Ehto 6 times, but her Crossbreed Cloak protects her!

Utzi
The bellow attracts the attention of the entire Flead swarm... But it also helps protect him.
Utzi forces the Flead Queen, the swarm of 7 Fleads, and the swarm of 5 Fleads to all target him before his next turn, if able. He also takes 1d10+4 less damage until his next turn, and foes making physical attacks will receive 2d6+5 damage.

5 Fleads
The Fleads focus on Utzi, curling up into balls before hurling themselves at him. Only some of them hit him head-on, seemingly confused by the illusion, and all are hurt by the bitter cold. Some seem to slow down until they’ve stopped moving entirely.
The Fleads attack Utzi. They deal 3 damage to him 5 times (total 15), and receive 11 cold damage 5 times in return. Two of the Fleads die from this cold damage.

Baron Support
Somewhere during their fight with the rest of the nest, a pair of rockets slam into the Flead Queen - and with no carapace left to protect her, she’s seriously wounded.
The Flead Queen takes 48 damage from the Baron Professional’s Rocket Blast.
The Flead Queen’s movements become sluggish, and she's bleeding haemolymph from multiple wounds... Someone should finish her off.

Friedhold
Friedhold heals Rory with a burst of green light.
Friedhold restores 25 HP to Rory.

Ehto

The sorceress leapt back into the air, pure gluttony taking over as she vanished into the shade of a tree. When next she appeared it was in the queen's shadow, leaping up to take one final savage bite with jaws that quite literally unhinged themselves in a manner more appropriate to a hellish serpent than a hellhound.

Ehto again mauls the queen for 6d10+14 Physical/Slashing Damage, hopefully finishing her off!

Ehto's bite tears a massive chunk out of the Flead Queen's flesh, and the creature lets out a last scream before falling over dead. The rest of the hive seems to alternatively keel over or flee, respectively, and the Barons are able to burn most of the escaping hive's survivors.

The worksite falls eerily silent in the wake of what just happened, the Barons too confused and worried by Ehto's kill to celebrate their victory. The stench of dead and burning bugs begins to stink up the area...

Ehto

The hellish abomination went to tear further into the carcass, but stopped as she noticed the worried expressions on the Baron's faces. Had she gone too far? She'd only let herself revert because she was confident they lacked a means to meaningfully harm her, at least compared to back home. While not being attacked after such a display was certainly an upgrade, she never liked seeing the looks of fear that her transformations inevitably spawned.

...It doesn't taste that good anyway. She turned away from the fresh corpse and shifted back to a more familiar, less horrifying form. Clearly, it would be wiser next time to stick to partial reversions only. Instead of facing the awkward questions she knew were inevitable now, she looked over her latest handiwork.

specifically, she searched for any sign the Flead Queen had somehow been controlled or agitated by the cultists.

With the battle done and the barons beginning to burn the remaining bugs, Rory wisely pulls his scarf up to keep out some of the stench at least. But his work wasn't done even with the queen dead, as he began running around picking through the remains of the queen looking for any interesting organs and any parts of her carrapace that were still intact. He was tempted to say something about the uh, hellhound in the room, but he figured it could be said after everyone had had their fill of loot.

Friedhold & Nessa

Friedhold let out a held breath and long sigh as the beast came to a grisly demise.  His shoulder betrayed exhaustion, but still he turned back to Utzi and the other more minorly injured party members to offer blasts of purifying pale green light.

Meanwhile as she was let free Nessa moved in to stab at the Queen's corpse, and any other potentially Adam carrying corpses in the area in a  frenzy of harvesting.

Tsubasa flicked the blood off her blade and sheathed it in a single motion, sealing the battle with one final glimmer of blue. Ehto's devouring was. . . concerning. Skilled as she was, she knew her limits, and there was little hope of her succeeding against a beast of that power if the hellhound decided she wanted a sample after all. Next to that, the child violating the already-putrid corpse faded to mostly nothing. Given what the smell was doing to her belly, she elected to head out of the immediate area in the direction of the town, leaving the cleanup crew behind for the moment.

Utzi
Utzi snarls and yells defiantly as the bugs begin to skitter away and hide, the green light seeming to aid his recovery not by regenrating tissue the normal way, but by patching holes in his flesh with ice as his cells begin to regrow at a far diminished rate compared to how things usually go. He seems far less concerned about his tutor's appetite than anyone else present, regarding it with the same degree of curiosity as he does with all the other strange things he has encountered in his time with the group. With a calm nonchalance, he walks over to the Flead queen's corpse, and moves to pick up his spear, only to jump back in shock as it appears back in his hand before he could do so.
