So, we have a deal. And how hard can clearing out a few gremlins be? Surely it's no challenge for our brave, non-cowardly heroes who get along extremely well and also don't suck at all.

Rannic falls into her, bleeding from a dozen stab wounds, and that’s the last push Parda needed. She drags her foot out from under her and turns, trying not to scream. Takes a step into the darkness. If she can get around the corner she can duck through the stalactites, pick them off one by one, maybe. They’re not that tough when they’re alone, right? Rannic grabs onto her leg as she steps away. Parda stumbles. She spins around and swings a wrapped fist as she goes. A sickening crunch, and the feel of a face giving way under her fist. Parda lets her next breath out in a primal scream. The bald, almost invisible monster people don’t shrink back. She can’t even tell which one she hit, they just keep coming. She turns again, get to the stalactites. Something cold bites into her back, and she knows it should hurt, but she’s past feeling the little things. She just has to get to the stalactites and make a stand. Ignore how heavy her wounds feel. Ignore the whimpering. They could at least have the decency to finish Rannic off. Push, one more step. And then another, and another, and another. A hard pain in her back. Persistent they are. She jumps the last five feet, putting everything she’s got into getting an arm on a rocky pillar, swinging herself around and making a stand. Daggers whip through the air behind her, but Parda’s got it now. Everything’s gonna be ok. She rocks her way back on her foot and squares up, dipping out of the way of an oncoming stab while she swings a massive uppercut into a skulk’s stomach. The creature stumbles back, coughing, interfering with the others as they try to press into the newly confined space. And then, from behind her, a few whispered words. Something explodes into view in every direction and nowhere all at once, massive spider webs. They coat the cave walls, catch her arms and legs, and she’s stuck. Slowed. She can see the daggers coming now, but she can’t do anything to stop them. She can’t move fast enough. This…is Pod Against The Machine.
