Pour Down Throat — **Critical Success** The creature is unaffected.
**Success** The creature gets a mouthful of sportlebores. They spit the insects out and avoid further damage, but they can't speak for 1 round, and if they were performing a spellcasting action, the spell fails and the caster wastes the action.
**Failure** The creature takes 4d6 piercing damage from sportlebore bites, can't speak for 1 round, and loses a spell as noted under success.
**Critical Failure** As failure, but the creature is also exposed to sportlebore infestation.
Swarming Bites — Each creature in the sportlebore swarm's area takes 3d6 piercing damage (DC 25 Reflex save).
