Bee Holder (Patreon)

The construct defeated, and its victim laid to rest. Your party slowly begin following the trail again. An hour or so later, you find what's left the trail.

The creature before you defies description. A grotesquely fat bee monster held aloft by  6 worker bees. It regards you with what you feel is disdain before a blast of magic sends your party scattering.

Each  bee in the swarm unleashes magic from their eyes. The larger bee, clearly in charge here, as raw magic flows from it into each of its enslaved helpers.
