Waldo's sudden movement of the curtain, causes the old fabric to tear at the top, instead of sliding along the rod supporting it. Collapsing the entire curtain to the floor and revealing quite a few rather large centipedes, each over 1' long crawling along the walls, ceiling and floor of the cubicle. Sensing food, they begin coming towards the group standing in their home.

Waldo raises an eyebrow.
You're going soft on us, Wyvern he remarked, tossing his axe behind him and pulling out another warhammer This is a numbers battle, everyone. Get in here and start stomping! If you have any bright ideas to get rid of these things that'll save us an hour of cleaning their blood off our shoes, spit 'em out.
Waldo backs up slowly until he meets up with the rest of his group. Keeping both hammers in front of him, he carefully takes account of the room, making sure he sees each one of the bugs.

Tellyna let out a shriek of terror at the multilegged things, her eyes going wide in her head and her hands shaking as she drew the jeweled mage sword she carried. "AHH KEEP THEM AWAY KEEP THEM AWAY!!!!" She shrieked, anything with more than eight legs terrified her, especially centipedes. She was on the verge of tears in her hysterics, not wanting to be anywhere NEAR the dreaded things. "KILL 'EM KILL EM KILL EM!" She shrieked.

Waldo and Jarvin make short work of stomping all the critters to death, as the last one squishes under Waldo's boot, a loud roar is heard, and too late do you realize your folly. The centipedes weren't the monster you thought them to be, simply the young of something much bigger. The Megalocentipede enters the room from a hole in the upper north east corner. At over 9 feet long, it dwarfs the party. It's myriad of legs crawling over and feeling the dead bodies of its young, a hiss escapes its slavering maw as it lunges straight at Waldo.
The Wyvern laughs as Waldo is narrowly missed by the huge insect. Did you really think I was going soft? You should have known better than that. By the way, I'd watch its sting, it can be deadly, I should know, as it's power is nearly as strong as my own.

Waldo grinned. Picking up both axes, he begins to circle step around the beast, trying to flank it and gauging its agility.

*Jarvin draws his daggers and circles the creature in the other direction, hoping that splitting up will distract the creature as it tries to choose a target. The entire time, he's muttering under his breath* "ohcrapohcrapohcrapohcrapohcrap"

Seeing the two front attackers split off to either side, the Megalo-centipede decides to go for the easier target right in front of it........It strikes Tellyna, injecting its venom into her thigh and nearly severing her leg in the process.

Seeing the opportunity, Waldo's face contorted into a furious visage as he leapt onto the beast's back, digging both axe's into its side. As he strikes, Waldo lets out a terrifying, beastial roar that fills the room.
Now! Jarvin, Geoff, now!!!

*Jarvin's face screws up into an expression of grim determination. He sprints quickly towards the head of the Megalocentipede, and attempts to plant his daggers where its head meets its body segments, and them holds on to them like handles while twisting them.*

Tellyna shrieked, tears pouring from her eyes as she slashes at the thing with her longsword before dropping it and casting lance of disruption. She HATED centipedes, she didn't care who was in the way, it was going to die as long as it was dead, she'd be a bit happier. The bite stung like hell but she was too terrified to really think about it, not that she really knew how to get the venom out anyway, if she was going to die... It was going with her.

Valandil calmly drew his short bow out as he rolled out to the side before loosing an arrow aimed at the beast. He let out a gasp as the monster bit into Tellyna.

Waldo manages to get one of his axes in deep within the beast's side, Jarvin's daggers find a soft spot between the chitinous plates of the beasts exoskeleton and sink in up to thier hilts spewing ichor across his face and chest and severely damageing the megalocentipede. Tellyna manages to swing the Magesword and slice one of the creatures mandibles off, before collapsing onto the floor screaming in pain. (BTW The pain is too intense to allow spellcasting Tellyna). The arrow from Valandil's bow pierces the beast's neck just below the jawline and apparently causing enough damage to finally drop the beast where it stands.
My my my, it would seem Tellyna's in pretty bad shape there. Just what were you thinking dodging to the side like that and leaving her wide open Waldo? Anyway, I'm sure she won't hold a grudge as long as you re-attach her leg for her. I'd suggest putting the pieces back together and pouring the concoction in that bottle over there across the wound. But that's just my opinion. She may hold a grudge no matter what you do.

Ripping his axes out of the creature's body, Waldo goes over to its head and hacks off its other mandible, just for certainty. Running over to Tellyna, he leans over her leg, trying to determine the extent of the wound.
Valandil, get me that bottled concoction that the Wyvern loves so much he commands. Tearing off his tunic sleeve, Waldo tears it into several long strips and pads the wound with it, binding it tightly.
This should hold it for now. We need something better, though. Now.

"WALDO I'M GONNA KILL YOU!!!" Tellyna screeches amidst the pain, biting into her lip. If she lived... Waldo and Jarvin were REALLY gonna get it!

Waldo barely looks up while continuing to quickly bind Tellyna's wounds.
That's not much incentive for me to save your life, Tell he mutters while working as quickly as possible.
