In unison, Marcus, Brad, and Eric step back and light their Molotov cocktails, awaiting the approach of the teeming mass of beetles. As the beetles come swarming forward, oblivious to the danger that awaits it, they each fling their bottles toward the swarm...
Marcus' throw is dead on
[Natural 20, but critical not confirmed]. Numerous beetles begin to burn in the splash of fiery gasoline, but the swarm keeps coming.
Eric's throw is also quite good. More and more beetles ignite, but there are still enough to keep the mass moving forward.
Fortunately, Brad's aim is also accurate. His Molotov was apparently better made than the first two, as the explosion is a bit larger. The smell of burning insects fills the air.
Oblivious to the flames, some of the beetles keep tumbling toward you. However, just before they reach you, these last beetles ignite and burn to a crisp right at your feet!
OUT OF CHARACTER

The swarm is gone. The last bottle (Brad's) did just enough damage to disable the swarm, and when it tried to make the second half of it's double move to reach you, the last beetles died.
You are now free to continue your exploration of the mysterious tomb. Here's the map again for reference. |
