**************************************
Despite being partially entangled, the lone beetle that is not immobilized manages to take the initiative. It forces its way forward through the grasping weeds toward Gragog, but its feeble attacks miss.
Gragog counterattacks, but a weed pulls the spear out of his hand! Lar's attack is much more effective. He brings his bastard sword up and into the beetle's chest. Petyr joins in with a spear thrust between chitinous plates in the beetle's armor. Shinyah steps up behind Gragog and pokes the beetle with his spear, scoring a hit that mostly just mars the beetle's shell. The beetle is doing quite poorly, but is still alive and fighting.
Agax rushes forward and swaps places with Scarlett behind Lar. He says a few holy words and brings Lar back to nearly full health. Bogdana steps into the woods near one of the stuck beetles (B7). She swings her staff at the beetle's head, but her blow falls harmlessly against one of the beetle's horns.
Scarlett takes off her pack and starts digging for oil. "Light them up," she says. "Fire will turn them to ash or make them flee."
"No fire!" calls out Shinyah in alarm. "Not here. The beetles are unable to attack while they are held. When the one who is free has been killed, it should be easy enough to finish the others with ranged weapons."
