My bugs served to give me a half-second of early warning as they felt her jam one hand into the side-pocket of her dress.  I turned on my heel, the burn on my leg screaming in pain as I did it, and threw myself to the right as she brought one hand to her mouth and blew a billowing cloud of powder into the space I’d been occupying.

That’s probably worse than poisonous, so yeah, better dodge that.

I got my feet under me and lunged forward again.  I didn’t get two steps before I was tackled to the ground.

By one of your allies?

It was a mechanical spider the size of a large dog.

Ah, fair enough.

Hey, time to figure out whether they’re arthropod-like enough to be controlled. 😛

It had been folded up inside one of the bodies.  Its legs latched around me.

Huh, so not only did Bonesaw herself hide in the bodies, she’s hidden other things in them. How many bodies are left? I suspect she’ll have something different in each.

There wasn’t much strength in them, and even with my less than fantastic upper body strength, I managed to pry the first two legs apart.

Nice.
