Joa-Boo

"I'm ready for anything." Zaught said as the Collective ant lions met the small group with blades clashing. Zaught wielded a mace in one hand and a large shield in the other for point defense. The first out of many collective attacking was thrown into the air after Zaught tackled it with his shield and threw him over head as he spun low to deliver a blow with his mace against the side of the next on coming ant lion.
The three men with the two of you sprinted forward to join the fight and give their efforts. The odds where 2 to 1 but they where only simple Collective brawlers, nothing with any special abilities.
The 6th guy with you was a specialist from Impetus's group. He was a negotiator who knew the tunnels, and had seen allot of death in them. He didn't engage in any fighting at all and actually you where appointed to protect him as the Collective mindless ant lions came and beat the heck out of all of you. He was not to get touched. He called himself Tooge and was the kind of guy that even if he was told he should join in the fighting, he wouldn’t know how. He was useful however when it came to talking and navigating.
“Just up here now, we will make a left and head up the higher ridge. They are crawling on the floor level with all of their minerals and young. You guys do have long range weapons right? There are a few little surprises the Collective like to throw at us sometimes and it is always good to have someone handy with a gun or bow.” Tooge said with his noble shrilly voice.

Salin scowled, "You can't be serous! Ah hell, I only got this spear and rusty mail." Salin looked at down at the green blood seeping from the dead Collective at their feet. The fight they had put up was pitiful and if this was the best they had then the strike group would have nothing to worry about, sadly though Salin knew that these were only the lowly grunts and that the further in they would face bigger nastier Collective.
The group followed Tooge's directions up the ridge and looked at the minerals and young on the ground below them swarming around in panic of the battle raging on outside their home. Salin was at the head of the group since he had no range weapon and Tooge in the middel where he was most protected.
"So Tooge what surpises do these Collective have that you mention," Zaught asked eyeng the Collective below as they passed.
