Zokk gives a sigh and whispers. “I gooo cheeeck.” zokk will cast pass without a trace and sneaks closer to the ants to see what is going on. Stealth: 26
Zokk is able to get to the entranceway and peer in at a different angle, but to enter the chamber would put them in plain sight, no matter their stealthiness.

Randy looks thoughtful and takes an arrow out to sketch a picture on the ground with.
"It's a proper bottle neck and they've corked it solid. We'll have to be careful trying to get in. Dornikal, you take the right side of the opening and target the bug on the left. Throw and duck back into cover immediately. I'll take the left side and snipe the bug on the right. I'll do the same thing. The dragonborn will take position in the center about 20 foot back. If something charges through the door after us, they hit it. Zok and the gnomes are reserve. They back up whoever needs it. If the bugs stay put, we'll rinse and repeat as needed. We'll hit them simultaneously so once we're in position, I'll count and we go on three. We should be able to hit them and hopefully get some real damage in before they take cover. Everybody understand?" Randy also translates for the Dragonborn points the position they're to take.
He looks up at everyone to get their response and will go through it again as needed.
Images flash through your mind, you are 'seeing' things from the perspective of one of the creatures, you sense movement, the vibrations of many chitinous feet and emergence into the open sky, where death rains down, at the hands of what you recognize as your party. All is chaos, before the perspective of the creature you're sensing things from turns and retreats into the mine, sounding the alarm.
If you failed:
You sense your Siblings around you, their armored bodies brushing against yours and reinforcing the scent that is self. That is YOU. There has been a disturbance, and you join your siblings in rushing to the surface, your antennae and legs sensing the vibrations of your kin, and then the emergence into the open sky and the foul scent of OTHER. The Other are killing your Siblings! Some of yours burrow under the sand and try to get around them to give them the kiss of flame, but they weather it, and kill your Siblings in turn. The vile creatures have attacked you and your kin in your home! You must protect it, you must protect your Siblings, you must protect Mother!
Your perspective shifts, and there are more of the two-legged Others right next to you! You open your mouth to engulf them in flame--- only to realize in a jolting shift in perspective that leaves you a bit disoriented, that you are in fact one of the Others, and the sense of self that was imposed on you begins to fade as you recognize the faces of your companions and the dragonborn you descended into the mine with.
((Still need saves for the gnomes and their squads!))

Dornikal looks down at his hands to make sure they are hands before feeling his face and turning around slowly to look at the rest of the group. He asks,
The ranger makes an attempt to sneak up to look.

He freezes when he hears himself crunching along and, very quietly, starts riggedly-raggle-snagzing under his breath.
The antennae wiggle in your direction as Randy crunches and starts cursing under his breath.
Rather than charge you, however, their mandibles clack a bit before they back up into the chamber, leaving a clear path into the cavern.

"Oh, that's a good sign."
Dornikal mutters quietly.
Randy grimaces.
"There's something with a brain directing these bugs. This just positively screams 'trap' ."

Ulmwin makes sure to stay well in the back... Yeah, nothing good is gonna come from this.
The gnomes stay in back, thinking alike.

Dornikal mimes tossing a javelin and shooting a bow.
He looks for a response from Randy and the dragonborn and gets a javelin ready to toss.

Coljin nods. Smiling he adds quickly and quietly, "Glad there is a plan."
((Everyone give me a WIS save please, DC 13. You can roll for your squads as well.))

Randy looks decidedly rattled. "What. The. Hell. Was that?!"
"Uh...."
Dornikal looks down at his hands to make sure they are hands before feeling his face and turning around slowly to look at the rest of the group. He asks,
"Uh?"
“Whaaat haaappeeneed? Iiiis…iiit tryyyiiing tooo…taaalk too uuus? ….Dooo weee cooontiiinuuue? Iiiit sooouuundeeed theee aaalaaarm.”
"Uh? Aye was a coweater, aye think? Aye don't understand?"
