Fred, Sluj and Gomz each disengage and head in the direction of the portal, while the farmer and his dog sprint for home through the field.

((Gomz, the tossing of the giggler and the attempt to spread the fire would largely just be flavor, unless you use your action to do some of that and pass on the disengage. I'm assuming the disengage is more important to you at the moment. I will say the one you dropped falls prone so will have to use its dash to get to anyone.))

"Where are you going? *teehee* Don't you want to play with us? *tee-hee*"

They scuttle through the corn, coming for the fleeing siblings.

The one FRED had slashed catches up to him and swings its dark blades at him, the second one scoring a hit.

*teehee*
Sluj is likewise pursued by the one he hit, but only gets stabbed once.

*teehee*
The three that Gomz was tangling with giggle as the scorpion runs away, and they turn their attention to FRED and Slug instead. One of them had been dropped, and had to dash to reach FRED, but the other two are able to catch up to them and they each make attacks. The one on FRED doesn't have much luck getting past his armor, but Sluj's gets some work done.

*teehee*
*teehee*
Two of the ones that were on Slem go after him, the third one giggles and orients towards Miasma.The one chasing after Miasma giggles as the boar runs away, hurling one of its dark daggers, but not pursuing further.

*teehee*


The other two catch up to Slem, first blade to fall severs Underslem's form, and it sloughs across the ground in a gelatinous goo. Their otherwise giggle demeanor is shaken a bit by realizing that you all might not be a source of flesh either...

*tee-huh*?
((I'll say you can use your reaction to Glomp if you wish, or give me a Deception check for your oblex form to see if you can pass yourself off as part of the goop.))

Slem just lays really still.

Just a pile of goo: 1D20 = [13] = 13

One of the kids seems to notice that there is more to the goo than just goo, but doesn't seem to view it as worth their attention. The pair turn and rush to Sluj and FRED, but can't attack this turn.

((Slem could take an opportunity attack, if he wished.))

Slem heads for the portal at the top speed he can manage why staying reasonably stealthy.

Miasma rumbles through the stalks, circling around the commotion.

Gomz books it through the portal and turns to defend it from a few feet inside. He's leaving enough room for his siblings to dart past as they come in.

The one that peeled off from Miasma skitters through the stalks, trying to catch up to the siblings harrying FRED and Sluj.

*teehee*

FRED has four of them mobbing him now, that scurry after him as he retreats towards the portal. Three of the blades get past his armor and shield, causing excruciating pain.

*teehee*
*teehee*
*teehee*
*teehee*
The three on Sluj take their attacks as well, three blades carving into him and dropping him out of his goblin boss form! The gelatinous goo sloughs to the ground.

*teehee*
*teehee*
*teehee*
