Loxley heads back to the Great Hall, and as he settles down to consider what to do with himself from here, he is passed by the swift Ozymandias, whose majestic beard flashes by and creates a wondrous breeze. Dana has also been through, and he hears Kate the Klutzy in the West as well. There seems to be some sort of battle, but it isn't like any battle he'd ever heard of before...
"EAT IT, HONEY!" Dana throws a mean punch into the cloud of bots. They are a swarm, but because of their nature, they are hurt like a larger organism, and ten of the tiny bees fall to the ground, their little metal legs twitching from archived impulse algorithms. Eleven more are crushed beneath Kate as she falls on top of them vengefully. Carrot runs in from the South boldly, and swats nine more to the ground. The swarm briefly scatters, but then regroups for a new attack!
70/4 = 17 HP per person!
OUCH! But with every blow and with each new combatant, the attack will hurt less. Will it be enough? Will anyone get to Nudge in time to help him with the Queen Bee?
Oh, speaking of which...
The Queen Bee is down to 191 HP, which is sort of good news, but also sort of terrible news. Nudge is not so good at being a warrior, but he's trying his best!
The Queen Bee buzzes loudly! But nothing happens. (Whew!)
Again, the more people that are fighting the swarm, the less dangerous it is. Swarms are unique that way. I'll probably try to update again at 7 AM tomorrow, which is 13.5 hours from now.
