"They're surging out of the forest!" screams Sol as loud as he can so the ground floor can hear.

Ozzy hears a similar report.

"Their numbers have grown!" calls a very worried Samaritha.

The wave of monsters reaches the tower, the beasts scrambling up the sides and scratching at its foundations. To the heroes below (Visto, Ozzy, Tsyra), it is particularly unnerving. It sounds like the entire place is crawling with monsters, heard easily by all characters at all levels. The creatures hammer and claw and bite at the tower's windows and at the outer ground floor door. The window shutters can't hold forever, though they seems fairly strong for the moment. A shutter near Lev and Ago partially shatters, and a wriggling black tentacle whips around trying to feel things when Lev cuts it off and there's a a bunch of extra scrabbling only increasing now from greater numbers, but the battering outside all window shutters and doors do not lessen.

A few seconds later, that same window shutter - now weakened - blasts open right by Lev and Ago! What they see is something like a small (still Medium-sized), hairless, blue lion-like creature with twin tentacular tails. Dozens more thick tentacles quiver and twitch where its main should be!

The window aperture itself is not particularly wide for such a creature (or yourselves) to pass through easily, and it is struggling to get through.

Begin Round One ...

R1T26: "Did I just hear a breach?" calls down Sol.

R1T24: Ozzy, you didn't hear it the smashing window shutter two levels above, but Ginny just told you that the entire tower is covered in blue creatures, and it looks like they just opened a spot mid-tower. What do you do?
