As the insect before her withered into a husk before her eyes, Hylusi felt a thrum of satisfaction. But there was more to do. She swung the Fingerbone Staff like a conductor's baton, and the swarm of hands flowed across to consume the bug the Prince had injured. With its carapace already fractured, the Gorelings were able to lever the opening wider and crawl inside, and a few frantic spasms later the big beetle was dead - and perhaps glad of it, too. The gorelings began to squirm free, the ichor on them already cracking and flaking off to show the pristine 'leather' beneath.

Would the pre-priming of the necrotic energy make raising the insects easier, or let their carapace be utilised as necrotic materials? Anything from the sky-cutting planetoid was sure to have at least some kind of interesting property, if she could unlock it. There was the symbolic connection, too, with insects and decay.

Grounds for study.

<Remind me to have some of these insect corpses retrieved for research later,> she commanded her servitors, and they nodded in unison.

With a mental sigh, the Magus paced towards the prince, the centaur and her rider, though she aimed to keep them between her and any remaining bugs.

When she broadcast now, it was simply to everyone nearby, her icy tones rippling into people's heads like a cold river overflowing its banks.
<We don't have time to stay here playing with insects. We need to get to the castle.>

Again, she sharply cracked the butt of her staff against the ground, and the interplanar parasite currently trying to eat the oversized rabbit was wreathed in necromantic power. She looked that way, and - wait, wasn't that the High Priest of Dahl? What was his name again? Whatever it was, shouldn't he be at the castle already, having prepared for the marriage rehearsal?

Well, whatever - it wasn't important right now.

She regretably added another entry to the list of creatures not to let get eaten by space bugs: In order of importance from most to least, herself of course, her servitors, then the prince, and now the Priest of Dahl.

Spoiler: OOC
Show

BA: Command the gorelings to emerge and attack the injured bug the Prince hit. They hit twice, 29 damage in a spicy blend of bludgeoning and necrotic.
Action: I rolled a 5+mod for its save, so 16 necromantic against the insect eating Bil.
Reaction: Cast Shield if struck.
