Down south, the party continues to chew through the cultists and monsters in their way with a vengeance. Gorun, mind on helping others already, throws his head back and pulls the weakly struggling cheetah down his throat. Without any significant resistance, the muscled bulk is quickly compacted down under the monk's ribcage, swelling his stomach and slowing the monk down... but at least his hands were free and able to engage other targets. One such target is pretty rapidly removed from the list of active and threatening enemies; as Eiyre does her little dance spinning around behind the stunned orcish cultist, drawing the unblinking stare of the giant bug now right beside her but no other attacks, she reaches out and touches that mantis; it hisses and chitters in pain, but its leg stays strong. Ambrosia takes a far more direct tack, advancing a few unstoppable feet at a time with an open mouth and a will towards lunch. In her way this time is that same stunned orcish cultist, the last hurdle save the mantis between her and rescuing the pretty-talking druid. As dazed as he is, the orc has no real way to dodge Ambrosia's open mouth as it clamps down around his neck. The cultist's face is plunged into moist darkness, held fast by the jaws lightly gripping his neck as drool starts to drip down his green collarbones; Ambrosia soon gets to experience the same good-but-slightly-Off taste that Gorun does, but compared to the sweaty, warm taste of a strong man who's had quite a bit of exertion in the recent past any odd undertastes are quite easy to dismiss as the fae's tongue slathers over a slack-jawed face.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Mechanics!</span><br/><div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;">Eiyre's attack connects!
