Among the Mushrooms
Loco FungiHammer seemed to be in Mushroom Heaven!
He was "at home among friends" and was enjoying the company of the varied colors, sizes and shapes of his "friends" in this Forest of Mushrooms!
To the casual onlooker, Loco was looking a bit detached and obliviously melding into his surroundings!
However, the Cleric was studying the possible disturbances that may have left traces upon the ground or against the stems of his "friends" that could lead Loco and the new band of adventurers along the path of possible vengeance!
Quite a colorful path it may possibly be thought the Cleric to himself as he searched ever casually!
Loco was not quite aware of how long it took to absorb the echos radiating between his eardrums, but the colorfully vibrating sounds that passed in cascading waves were enough to draw him to the source of the sounds as a moth is drawn to a flame!
Soon they found themselves at the point where Thagovan found the child, and they stood. The only thing Kharov could hear was the low howl of the cave and the faint shouts of desperate parents.
He looked around and realized that Groth was closer than he expected, and tapped him on the shoulder lightly.
" After this I mi-might have a po-po-position in the Shard tunnel gua-guar-guard for you. Depending on ho-how well you d-d-d-do here."
Kharov looked to the floor for a second, almost ashamed at his imperfect speech, but he needed to ask, he needs the men. Over the years fellow Khord had learned to respect Kharov for his place in the guard and mighty strength. Not many dwarves become stone lords, and that alone shadowed his speech impediment enough to where people did not poke fun or even try to notice.
"No Need to Cast Your Gaze Groundward in Shame ... You Have a Destiny to Fulfill ... With the Strength and Fortitude to Rescue ... or Revenge!
Loco did not wait for a response ... for the Cleric was surfing the waves of his very own vocalized sounds ... enjoying the kaleidoscopic ride!
"Perhaps Another Day I Will Find My Way to the Shard Tunnels ... To Assist You Among the Mushrooms!"
Loco seems to be wandering about aimlessly, but the Cleric is absorbing the sights and sounds of his companions, while searching for any telltale signs of disturbances that will provide a clue for a plan of action!

Subject: Greeting Xira
"I am not a guide." The dark clothed woman responds coldly, her barren tone sending a chill through the air as she sets her hood back. "My name is Xira."
Manalagna Hammer was inspecting his new "toys" (a +1 Flaming Scimitar, +2 Quarterstaff, +2 Sling and 20 +2 bullets) that Dusk had selected for the Druid from the armory when the familiar cold greeting met his ears!
Turning to address his old foe, Manalagna Hammer quips:
"Ah ... Xira! I would recognize the melody of your voice in any clime! Good to see you have recovered so soon!"
"Seems your homeworld is in danger! Perhaps you would like to defend it with the Death Scythe?"
"You may have it back if it suits you!"
Manalagna Hammer is genuine in his offer, figuring that with her homeworld threatened by an unknown force that the Death Scythe would be more useful in her hands than in his!

I did not bring my notes with me to the office this morning, but the Giant Ants have the Initiative for Combat Round 4 and there is an Ant attacking Ullrich from his top diagonal left position if I do remember correctly!
Nomad has mentioned the clue in his post in the Q&A and what I have just posted in Land of Xenophobia is all the Clue I am giving your characters for the time being!
Hopefully I will make a post in Land of Xenophobia for the Round 4 attack against the South Enders later tonight so you all can decide your plan of action!
If I have time I will also include an update of where the Ants are in relation to your characters!

Ollie Gory had borne witness to many battles in the Dark Arena over the years, but now he slowly began to realize that there was something a bit different about this one!
Subtle reminders began gnawing at his conscious mind of past rare similarities to another "Death Sentence" type of battle that had transpired when he and ThunnGarr had first begun their Dark Arena incarceration together!
As he surveyed the carnage of battle and the sounds of agony and victory mixed with the incessant roar of the Dark Arena crowd, the Half-Orc Bard became aware of a strange humming sound from the top of the Dark Arena dome that he had all but forgotten!
Looking up, he discovered the faint traces of an eerie golden-reddish glow that had moments before begun emanating from the top of the dome!
Ollie Gory suddenly realized the meaning of what was subtly transpiring!
"BEWARE THE TWITCHING ANTS!" he shouted for all the gladiators to hear his warning as he selected 2 more Arrows to do his small part to help eliminate the unexpected danger!
"THEY MUST ALL DIE!"

Present Day
Bumble Brew had gotten herself into quite a predicament, but she was relying upon her own wits, plus the assistance of a teammate or two, to battle her way to victory against these Giant Ants!
She has learned much in a short time of training, as the Elf Wizard nimbly moved 10 feet to her left, putting some distance between herself and Ant 1 from row 2, so she could focus all her attention upon Ant 1 from row 3 that was now located at her diagonal top right side.
Trusting in her God of Greater Hope, Bumble Brew swung her Staff of Power in an arcing motion that caused her weapon to strike her opponent right between “the eyes”!
Whether by accident, by her own design or the grace of her deity, Bumble Brew somehow managed to trigger a charge of the Magic Missile Spell contained within the Staff of Power that was released simultaneously at the precise moment her staff whacked the Giant Ant on its head … resulting in the Ant crumpling to the ground Unconscious with Grievous Wounds!
Bumble Brew stood momentarily amazed at what had just transpired; then noticed the result of Cunning Fox having moved 5 feet forward, reaching into his Rust colored Bag of Tricks with his left hand and tossing a small fuzzy ball 15 feet on a diagonal line next to Ant 1 from row 2.
As the small fuzzy ball instantly transformed into a Wolverine, Cunning Fox shouted, “Protect Bumble Brew!” as he fired 3 charges from his Ring of the Ram that was on his right hand against Ant 1 from row 5 that had attacked Sir Yder!
The Wolverine charged the Ant and jumped on its back, slashing with its claws and biting the Ant just behind its head, as the Ant began trying to shake its new attacker, while barely clinging to a conscious life!
Sir Yder was amazed to see his adversary crumble before him Unconscious with a Grievous Wound as he brought his Dragon Slayer Long Sword to bear with a slashing motion, but being startled by the dim outline of the head of a Ram or Goat slamming into the Ant facing the Knight, he only managed a minimum amount of damage, along with the strength of his arm and the magical quality of his weapon!
The Giant Ant lay motionless upon the Dark Arena sands!
Ullrich reacted to the dangers facing him without hesitation in one fluid motion as the Short Sword in his left hand slashed Ant 2 from row 2 along its left side, causing it to slowly sink to the Dark Arena sands Unconscious with a Grievous Wound; while he struck Ant 3 from row 2 with his Sylvan Long Sword, but only inflicting a quarter of the initial potential damage dealing ability!
However, the magical properties of his Sylvan Long Sword added with the force of his strength caused his opponent to lose consciousness, falling at his feet in a helpless state of Unconsciousness should Ullrich or anyone else choose to strike another blow!
The Magical Properties of the Sylvan Long Sword allowed the Ranger to swiftly strike yet another opponent because Ant 3 from row 2 was knocked unconscious [0 Hit Points!] from his single blow!
Without thinking the Ranger slashed his Sylvan Long Sword against Ant 5 from row 2 that was directly behind the Dwarf Giant and at the top diagonal right position of Ullrich the Human Ranger!
Although he merely connected with half the possible damage dealing potential against the left side of the Giant Ant, the Magical Properties of the Sylvan Long Sword, coupled with the strength of his sword arm, caused the Giant Ant to fall to the Dark Arena sands Unconscious with Grievous Wounds!
ThunnGarr the Mighty revels in the circumstance that he is surrounded by the enemy, drawing most of the threat away from his teammates and unto himself.
As he picks his target directly in front of him, he is aware that the Ant directly behind him has somehow fallen Unconscious to the Dark Arena sands with Grievous Wounds!
The Giant Dwarf Barbarian draws his Dwarven Thrower War Hammer back behind his head and with the same twisting motion succeeds in slamming his Shield of Bashing into Ant 3 from row 3 with two-thirds damage dealing potential.
The Ant wobbles with the impact of the blow, but manages to maintain consciousness!
His Dwarven Thrower War Hammer comes crashing down upon Ant 2 from row 4 knocking it Unconscious with the sudden force of impact upon its back as it slowly collapsed into the Dark Arena sands!
Meanwhile, Amberlyn with a focused burst of sheer determination brought her Feathered Long Sword to bear with such force against Ant 2 from row 5 that the full potential of damage dealing ability, plus the strength of her sword arm and magical properties of her Long Sword greatly reduced the stamina of the Ant, although it stood defiant and ready to continue it own attacks!
Shandra gripped her Club and focused her inner strength upon Ant 4 from row 5, disregarding both Ant 3 from row 5 that menaced her from her top left diagonal position and Ant 4 from row 3 that that had moved between her and the Paladin!
She succeeded with the full damage dealing potential of the Club crashing down upon her opponent, but the Ant still had plenty of life left to threaten Shandra!
But as the Monk drew another breath of air, she became aware of a sensation from The Light that was trying to reveal an inner secret to her!
Ariane the Paladin slung her bow across her back, harnessed securely as she drew her Holy Avenger Long Sword with her Small Wooden Shield all in one fluid motion!
Knowing the Shield would provide a measure of protection from Ant 4 from row 3 on her left side, she swung her Long Sword with a vicious slash against the right side of her opponent that stood directly in front of her!
Inflicting three quarters the potential damage dealing force against Ant 5 from row 4, coupled with the strength of her sword arm wielding the magical item, Ariene was a bit annoyed that the Ant was still healthy enough to stand its ground, its appendages flexing in anticipation of sinking a bite into the battling Paladin!
Although annoyed, she trusts in Rydor!

The Giant Worker Ants had effectively positioned themselves out of range of the Wand of the Finger of Death that Ollie Gory had used to eliminate the unsuspecting Ants the previous two rounds!
The Bard had committed himself to assisting the North Enders, figuring that ThunnGarr and his band of Off Worlders would be able to defeat the rest of the Ants attacking them without any further assistance from his weapons!
Besides, the Fighters would be able to help the Monks and Clerics once they eliminated the North End Ants!
Drawing 2 Arrows, the Half Orc Bard decided to fire both in a straight line against Ant 2 from row 4 that was attacking Fighter #2 at the optimum range from his Composite Long Bow!
The Bard let loose the first shaft that found its mark with a tad better than one quarter the damage dealing potential, followed by the second shaft that bit into the back of the Ant with three quarters damage dealing potential, but the wounded Ant still posed a threat to the Free Booter!
Ollie Gory will continue to attack the Ant threatening Fighter #2 until it is eliminated by either the Free Booter or his own Arrow! Then he will assess the situation and decide which Ant to fire upon!

The Gnome Clerics of the Clan of the Copper Caverns decided that Clubs would serve them better at this point of the battle than any Spells could fare against the Giant Worker Ants!
Cleric #1 attacked Ant 1 from row 3 with his Club delivering two thirds the damage dealing potential, connecting against the head of the Ant directly in front of him!
Cleric #2 swung his Club against Ant 2 from row 4 with the same results, bashing the right side of the Ant directly in front of him.
Cleric #3 fared half as well against Ant 3 from row 4 as his Club glanced off the body of the Ant directly in front of him!
Cleric #4 swung the same glancing type blow against Ant 3 from row 5 that was located at his top left diagonal position!
Cleric #5 had no Giant Ants adjacent to him, so he decided to fire another Arrow at the wounded and stunned Ant 5 on row 1, but only managed to inflict damage a tad better than minimum!
Cleric #6 dealt a mere third damage dealing potential with a glancing blow against the head of Ant 4 from row 5 that stood at his top diagonal right position!
Cleric #7 scored half damage potential against Ant 4 from row 4 with his Club connecting against the left side of its body as it stood directly in front of him!
Cleric #8 chose to attack Ant 3 from row 3, but his Club only administered a glancing blow against the back of the opponent standing in front of him!
The Gnome Clerics are facing possible extinction unless they find a way to press the advantage and avoid their attackers until they get some help!

The Halfling Monks of the Order of the Golden Dawn were well able to disable foes with their bare hands and feet, but these Giant Worker Ants needed to be brought down quickly and efficiently!
Each Monk grabbed a Club and chose an opposing target without the slightest hesitation!
Monk #1 swung his Club at Ant 1 from row 3 that stood in front of him, connecting against the side of its body with almost full force damage potential with his blow!
Monk #2 only connected with half damage dealing potential against Ant 1 from row 4 that stood in front of him!
Monk #3 fared no better against Ant 1 from row 5 as his club connected against the head of the Ant standing in front of him!
Monk #4 merely inflicted one third the damage dealing potential against Ant 3 from row 5 that had positioned itself at his top diagonal right, his Club glancing off one of its legs!
Monk #5 scored only minimal damage dealing potential with his Club against Ant 4 from row 5, a glancing blow off the head of the Ant positioned in front of him!
Monk #6 dealt almost full damage dealing potential with his Club against Ant 5 from row 4, whacking the right side of the one standing directly in front of him!
Monk #7 swung his Club at Ant 5 from row 3 that stood directly in front of him, landing a half damage dealing potential blow against its right side!
Monk #8 fared slightly better against the previously wounded Ant 5 from row 2 that stood directly in front of him, bashing its head with two thirds the damage dealing potential that his weapon could possibly inflict with one blow!
The Halfling Monks would be hard pressed to utilize their combat abilities to vanquish these Giant Worker Ants without losing any lives!

The Fighters of the Free Booters Society were now in their element as they each brandished their Specialized Weapon of choice … the Two Handed Axe!
Fighter #1 bellowed in rage as he swung his Axe against Ant 1 from row 3 that stood directly in front of him, sinking the blade into the skull of the Ant with such incredible force that the Ant barely remained conscious!
Fighter #2 fared almost as well with much better results against the previously wounded Ant 1 from row 1 that stood directly in front of him. The Axe bit into the exposed back of the Ant, knocking it Unconscious with Grievous Wounds!
Fighter #3 faced Ant 2 from row 1 that was a bit weaker, but a two thirds damage potential blow into its exposed right side provided the same result as it fell to the Dark Arena sands Unconscious with Grievous Wounds!
Fighter #4 chose to attack the wounded Ant 4 from row 1 that had moved to his right side, but with only half the damage potential wielded from his Two Handed Axe biting into its exposed body, the Ant was fortunate to remain Conscious, but another such blow would leave it Mortally Wounded were the Fighter to attack again!
Fighter #5 was facing a totally healthy Ant 4 from row 5 in front of him, but only managed a tad better than minimum damage dealing1
Fighter #6 did not fare much better against an unscathed Ant 4 from row 2 that stood defiantly in front of him as his Axe found its mark in an appendage!
Fighter #7 had better success against an unharmed Ant 3 from row 3 that stood directly in front of him, his Axe slashing its back with half the damage potential that made the Ant shuddering without falling!
Fighter #8 managed only a third of the damage potential with his Axe against Ant 5 from row 2 that stood directly in front of him!
Given enough time and good fortune, the Free Booters Society Human Fighters may be able to fight themselves free to assist against the Ants attacking the East Enders and West Enders!

Hingatuli Hammer begins helping with the wounded and decides it is time to share with his companions what was revealed to him in the Vision while riding in the wagon earlier in the day
Your vision blurs as the sounding of a war horn fills your skull. You see a mass of decaying vegetation coverering a steam filled dark hole in the bowels of a broken tree.
Words suddenly come to your ear with no voice.
"HINGATULI! Know that my eyes are upon you. I see your need and your cause is just. Seek ye this dark forbidden place. It will bring you understanding of what you are now up against. These dark times are just begining for you and your companions, DO NOT FALTER! I will give you the means to overcome if you have the wisdom to apply it. Prove yourself to me."
With that your vision clears and your mind tells you that 3 new spells have been received.
1.) magical stone
2.) Bless
3.) command
"My Friends and Comrades in Arms! I Am Torn Between Escorting the Wounded Back to Town ... And Seeking This Dark Forbidden Place Revealed to Me By My Deity!"
"My War God Warns of the Beginning of Dark Times for Us All ... So I Must Find This Place to Receive Understanding of What We Are All Up Against ... Including Oaks Heart and Its People!"
