One Monarch Rank Cyclops was far from their only issue for the night, and there were more of the giants headed towards them everywhere that Karl looked. It was almost as if their location were a beacon to the attackers, and they were determined that they would take out the threat which had stopped the last wave so effectively.
With dual blades, the Lamia Bodyguards made great partners. They had [Flaming Body] to enhance their weapons, and [Rend] for ranged attacks, so they could just follow Karl's lead as he turned to meet the strongest opponents that he could find.
[I think that there are more Monarchs on their way to us right now than there were in the entire spawn last time. That doesn't seem right.
The monsters show up in different spots, but the spawn is usually the exact same group every time that it activates.
That's how it was when we fought it at home.] Hawk noted.
