542 Neegling Hunt

"Okay." Negla said. "So we need Neeglings, but strapped to our armor rather than just to use on the little bits of taint we have spattered here."

"Are you LISTENING?" Nogar asked. "We. Should. Run."

"Or we could burn it." Mohr said. "It's just flesh, right?"

I blinked. "It could be a lot of flesh." I said.

"How much flesh are we talking about?" Doran asked.

Nogar answered. "It'll mass equal to about a squad or two. But that's not the worst of it. It will have duplicate organs, which will make it resistant to criticals."

Zoltar stroked his chin. "So it's a lot of life force all in one place. It'll take us a while, even blasting it with our greatest spells."

"If the Taint is too strong, then we might not even have those spells." Mohr said.

"Thus the Neeglings." Negla said.

"It doesn't work like that." Nogar said. "At best, the Taint will divide between the neegling and yourself. At best."
