How it fights
A swarm is not one fight. It is the same small fight over and over until you are sick of it. Singly they are nothing worth the name. Together they are a subtraction that never quite stops, and whatever you spend on one of them is wasted on all the rest. What finishes people here is rarely damage. It is attrition, and the temptation to clear just one more room before resting.
Field notes
A swarm has no front and no back and no first one to kill. It rises out of a hollow or a carcass or a hive at a step too near and settles again behind you when you are gone. It goes for the eyes and the mouth and every gap in cloth. Smoke thins it and water sends it up and running does nothing at all. The hum is the sign, and the hum is heard from farther than it seems.
Where it is met
Met in The Tide-Throne, Emptied Quarter of Burnt Coast, the Deep Meltway, Razed Waste, Sweetwater Oasis of Ash Interior, the Still Row, the Blue Ice Cave and the Buried Ruin, by travellers of levels 1 to 55.
