Their bodies covered with flames, hair sizzling like fuses, the runts dashed insanely about, setting others on fire, until the unharmed muties turned their weapons on their burning comrades, mercifully cutting them down and ending their screams.

Ryan fired twice more, runts grabbing their ruined faces as they dropped, but more took their places, the chanting starting to rise in tempo as the muties prepared for a rush.

Inside the passage, the armored runts gathered into a group, seemingly having to gather their courage before attacking.

The runts howled and covered their faces, dropping weapons and stumbling in the gloom.

The runts rushed forward to help, only to have their god crash them under its burning body.

The runts went deathly still as the howling monster violently shuddered, then lurched forward one last time before dropping lifeless to the ground.

But it didn't come, and they heard the runts chanting something musical.

The remaining runts doubled the level of their cheering, while several began to loot the body of their fallen leader.

Mebbe the runts here can help us get through the wall around the ville.
