As the bolt connects with the bug, radiant energy takes over it and obliterates the being from inside out. Everyone within 5ft of the creature is covered and takes another bout of fire damage (9)
Curiously as the Molten insides pour out of the bug and it sinks to the floor, the massive stone carapace remains, a slowly hollowing out statue of what once was.
Glad to be away from the molten pouring out of the gigantic bug, Elthana heads over to where the other one disappeared. Not being able to see anything other than disturbed earth and rot, she holds her arms out, readying an attack against it shall he show himself or where he is hiding.
If there is no sign of the other bug by Sam’s next turn, Sam is going to go Paul Bunyan on the tree…He’s got a couple pretty big hand axes and he knows how to chop!
Vin holds summons up his magic to be ready to attack the other giant bug once it shows. A pair of eldrich blasts at the ready.
Neferox however seems to be trying to determine if the creature is burrowing away of getting ready to attack. She sniffs the ground and perks her ears up as she moves trying to sense its location underground if able. But prioritizing to have ready a bite attack for wherever it shows.
Maka just follows Nef. Also readying an attack to fight continue to fight back against the creature as ordered.
A rumbling from the ground, puts everyone on edge.
Suddenly bursting through the dirt and snow and rot, the second gargantuan bug explodes from underneath Elthana biting upward at her as it does, (24 to hit, 23 piercing + 10 fire damage) once it has inflicted it's devastating bite, Elthana pulls herself free and flips backward landing on top of the beast as it lands on its feet and looks around for its next prey.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Elthana screams as the beast bites her, hard. Standing on top of the gigantic thing, she leaps into the air to the NE to get away from it. Landing on her feet, she uses a ki point to disengage and her full motion to get as far from the bug as she can.
She then turns towards it and unleashes her tattoo again, attacking it with magical damage.
Vin was ready for the creature but his heart skipped a beat when he sees Elthana getting viciously bitten by the flame filled creature. He breaths a sign of relieve when she is able to get away from it making some kind of really cool martial arts move to disengage from the beast. He also unleashes a pair of magical beams aiming to slam them into the hide of the creature as ranged attacks seem the most helpful in hurting it without their friends being hurt.
The first held blast a 23 to hit for 15 force damage. the second a 27 to hit for 8 force damage.
Neferox was keeping her head low to the ground trying to gage where it was moving and her patience paid off as the creature emerges she bites out at it trying to catch one of the spindly legs in an attempt to tear it off. 20 to hit with bite, 13 piercing damage.
Maka was following Neferox and wasn't within striking damage when it showed up not allowing the Shadow to attack in retaliation this time but they seem ready to engage the rocky fire bug when able. No fear on it at the size of the creature.
All three of them seemed ready to react to the creature but what will happen after?
Boris, fittingly, charges full- bore at the insect once it comes into view!
Tusk Attack: 14 to hit for 14 damage
Because of Charge, if that hits it takes an extra 7 damage and if the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 13 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. ((it says nothing on size differences but I totally understand if you want to veto that due to hit. If 14 even hits…))
Sam, maul cocked like a baseball bat (which hasn’t been invented yet so… how?) and screaming unnecessarily, runs over and swings for the fences!
Maul attack: 14 to hit and 21 damage
2nd Maul attack: 11 (nat 1…)
As a Bonus Action Sam will take a second wind after that whiff and regain 15 hp…
Gewyn shouts at the bug, hardly caring whether it can understand him, "The gall of you coming up in here and disturbing our precious ecosystem when you haven't so much as considered the inconvenience posed by how much time Muir will have to waste scraping you off the heel of his boot, you invertebrate dirt-humper." Then to Muir, "Go get 'im, big boy!"
Action: Vicious Mockery (Wis 16 or 6 psychic damage and disadvantage on next attack)
BonusAction: 1D8 Bardic Inspiration to Muir
Reaction: Silvery Barbs if it succeeds its Wisdom save for Vicious Mockery, to impose disadvantage on it and give advantage to Muir's next roll.
At Boris' charged tusk attack the boat crumples one of the bugs legs, though it remains standing and the viscera from the bug badly burns Boris once more (6 fire damage)
Sam swings once battering the beast mightily, and as expected the point of impact splashes white hot molten stone right into Sam's face, (5 fire damage)
With his second swing, Sam is temporarily blinded by the heat and steam in his face, his maul bangs off of a particularly stony piece of natural armour which bounces the maul right back into Sam (6 bludgeoning damage)
Seemingly inattentive to Gewyn's shouts or merely not caring enough to regard his taunts as valid, the bug shrugs off the attempt at psychically attacking it, though Muir does feel a swell of adrenaline as he prepares to fight.
Muir enjoying Gewyn’s words of encouragement blasts the creature (27 hit 15 radiant damage) and then quickly heals Elthana hoping to keep her up against the large creature
Vin remembers the last one exploding in a shower of molten blood when it was slain. However, he doesn't really have a good way to prevent that. The other option being the melee fighters continue to cut into it and get burned by the blood as well. So he does his best to minimize the pain his friends take by casting two more beams of energy trying to slay the creature quickly before it does anything else.
Eldrich Blast 1: 26 Damage: 6 force damage
Eldrich Blast 2: 9 Damage: 9 force damage
If the creature is still up Maka acts next. The shadowy being seems to bend and shimmer in eerie ways moving around to flank with allies as they all fight the giant rock bug. They reach out and slash across the big with talons of shadow that don't so much cut as freeze the being with the icy cold touch of the underworld.
Chilling Rend: 26 Damage: 9 cold Damage
Lastly Neferox will attack her normal attack pattern of mercilessly attacking limbs and weak points in her enemies her continued targets. The weak bending joints of the bug seeming delightful targets for her teeth to tear into. A pair of bites at such vulnerable looking locations once she moves into flanking position.
The bug is staggered by the onslaught of attacks from Vin, Maka, Nef and Elthana.
Its body reacts to the impacts bleeding out it's molten core over Maka (10 fire damage) and Neferox (16 fire damage)
It turns it's attention to the one who crumpled one of its many legs, Boris the boar, turning fast its head streaks toward the giant boar and attempts to bite (25 to hit, 16 piercing and 9 fire damage) the bug stumbles groggily, now uncontrollably spilling it's guts out over the floor.
As Boris the Boar is sliced up and cooked he squeels and whines and calls out in agony until finally he explodes into a shower of hot grease and cooked bacon.
Gewyn takes a few running steps and then claps his hands, vanishing in a puff of mist. He instantaneously reappears now just 20 feet from the molten bug with a knife in hand. He tosses it up in the air, letting it spin twice before catching it by the point, and then he himself spins and hurls it at the creature's eye, leg extended out behind him dramatically.
Attack: 20 Damage: 7 piercing
"Drop dead,"he says, holding his pose as the knife finds its mark. Then he straightens up, pulls out his bird pipes, and casually brushes them off on his vest.
Sam howls as he watched Boris slaughtered by this unnatural bug. He knows his friend is not dead in the final and forever sense but still watching Boris be so violently taken away enrages him. Shifting, seething, Sam looks to do the most damage to the thing as possible and so aims to sidle over so as to flank with Neferox or perhaps the spirit(?) Maka before slamming his maul into the thing as hard as he can.
Maul Attack 1: (3 or 14) for 24to hit doing 25 damage (1 weapon die rerolled due to Great Weapon Fighting)
Maul Attack 2: (19 or 6) for 29to hit doing 19damage (2 dies rerolled)
(If Sam can't get adv then 13 to hit for first attack...)

Muir glows a bit as he grabs his star map and launches a bolt of radiant damage towards the bug (if bug is still alive next attack has Advantage)
Hit: 28
Dam: 19
As the bolt connects with the bug, radiant energy takes over it and obliterates the being from inside out. Everyone within 5ft of the creature is covered and takes another bout of fire damage (9)

She then turns towards it and unleashes her tattoo again, attacking it with magical damage.
Attack: 19 Damage: 11 + 4
Attack: 22 Damage: 9 + 2
As the bug breaks the surface under Elthana, her readied action is triggered:
Attack: 15 Damage: 7 + 5
Attack: 11 Damage: 11 + 6
Vin was ready for the creature but his heart skipped a beat when he sees Elthana getting viciously bitten by the flame filled creature.

All three of them seemed ready to react to the creature but what will happen after?
Readied actions launched the bug takes a swathe of damage, it's boiling stone blood sprays out over Neferox once more causing (4) fire damage.
The bug looks towards its fallen brethren and screams out a terrible chittering screech.
Boris, fittingly, charges full- bore at the insect once it comes into view!

After Muir's radiant damage shocks the bug's system it glows slightly with a magic aura, the bug itself looks haggard, not doing well at all.
