Log
Our party gathered for the purpose of clearing out a large hill of ants that had been disturbed and were causing trouble. It took us 6 days to travel to Fallan Village. When we arrived at the village, we were met with hastily made fortifications, consisting of a palisade and ditches surrounding it. The gate was shut so Kubo had this thralls carry him over the ditch and knocked on the gate. We were quickly invited inside the palisade and noticed the sad state of the town, which showed signs of damage from fighting. They mayor directs us towards the ant mound, saying the ants don't normally attack during the day. After providing a small amount of healing to the villagers from Wuyang, we moved on towards the anthill.
Outside the anthill we found some ants, consisting of human sized ants and swarms of smaller ones. the ants charged us the moment we approached them but we took down the initial group quickly. After taking some time to heal, the party moved into the ant mound and was immediately set on by more ants. Ken attempted to block off reinforcements but was grabbed and dragged away deeper into the caves by an ant.
More ants constantly joined the fight, and multiple party members including Wuyang Ye, Ken, Grena and Anran Ye went down over the course of the fight with those capable of healing desperately working to get them back on their feet. The ants kept trying to drag party members to the queen for her to devour which made it difficult for the party to maintain cohesion and resulted in members scattered in different parts of the tunnels. The party used everything they had including exploding thralls, summoned creatures, elemental powers and hand to hand combat and finally managed to defeat the continual waves of new ants. The entire party was either unconscious or on their last legs by the end of the fight, but afterwards we killed the queen which completed the mission. We certainly earned our pay for this adventure.
