Omen cedes initiative. Bugs go first."Eww."
Victoria comes to a stand and stares at the creepy crawlies for a moment. She would rather take the monotony over that. But running away and going around them would waste a bunch of time. Her gut says she can take them, so she will give it a shot, if with a heavy sigh.
Grasping her gladius tightly, Victoria carefully advances forward. Some glass cracks under her boots, the sound distinctly different to the crunch of sand. There is no higher ground in the area to use, nothing to funnel them into. But they are not that fast.
Ready to intercept any surprises, Victoria slows and prepares to fall back. She will let the bugs come to her now, then kill them one by one in a fighting retreat. And if they do catch her, she can use her power to ram her way out of any encirclement.
Gladius Lumen: 400 Base Damage is enough to one-shot any of the basic bugs
Plan: kite the group and take swings to whittle them down, Intercept any potential Spitters in the group. Use charge for speed boosts out of any encirclement.
The bugs advance towards Omen, who slowly backs away as they get closer. Three of the bugs, greener than the rest, spit a foul smelling liquid at her.

Omen keeps her eyes out for any ranged attackers as she waits for one of the bugs to get close, just in case. This caution is immediately rewarded when three of the bugs hocked a load of boiling spit at her. Her Gladius cut through the first, a great blow that cleaved the air between them, cratering its body into the sand, which then blew up into a bunch more of that bile. The second found the same response, a swipe that held less power as she had to move further to get in into position. The last swing of her sword was just barely enough to beat down the third spitter. Unfortunately, she could see the second one stumble forwards towards her still. She eyed the two slightly larger bugs racing towards her ahead of the pack. She readied her blade.

Its Dead, Jim
The last spitter proved its madness by lobbing another blast at her. This time, it was almost cleaved in two from the impact. Omen smoothly pivoted to stab at the intruding pouncer.

Omen cuts out its eye, its upper jaw, and parts of its brain with one simple stroke. She eyes the others.
Dumb bugs bumrush the blender, all die. Warriors die to with a halfway decent MM roll, so they don't mean much. Omen stands before a
