Orion slides over to the vermin that is approaching him and attempts kick it, but continues to be unable to hit the disfigured animals. The monk chokes on the awful stench that surrounds the vermin.

Boone circles around to the nearby vermin, his sword glows brightly and he thrusts it at the vermin. You hear a loud hiss as the blade sears the vermin, letting of a awful burning stench which causes the wizard to wheeze.

The vermin next Orion slashes as the monk, but he nimbly side steps the swings. The two vermin on the far side of the polluted pond scamper closer. The nearest vermin avoids the mystical blades circling around Boone to slash at Rune with its claws, which deflect off of Rune's metal body.

Rune reaches out and grabs the mutated little beast and a you the sound of a thunderclap as his gauntlet flashes white and the vermin falls dead.

Greil uses his hammer and shield to bushwhack his way into the thick brush. When he's close enough to the vermin on the far side of the stream he bangs his hammer on his shield making a loud echoing noise.

The warden's warning turns true as some mutated and broken beast rises out of the middle of the lake.

Finley shouts to the vermin clawing at Orion, "You're a sorry little sh!t! You're cripple little claws couldn't hit a dead man!" The vermin whips its head around so fast it falls over in to the water where it is quickly squashed beneath Orion's heel.

As he reaches to brambles at the centre he leaps into the air, landing hard in the mass of leaves and thorns, which he sends flying into the swamp at the unknown beast.

Leaping into the air, Orion lands on a small spit of solid land and blasts the beast that just rose out of the polluted water with a shockwave of leaves and thorns.
