Point taken and duly recorded. Hadn't thought about half movement 
attacks etc.

Basically what I was insuring by the above setup.  B^)
Note: in day light hours full sun if you were to see these 
critters they are obviosly non humanoid in nature.

MA of 8 would be in already cleared terrain/tunnels like most 
insects I dont think they would mess around much in solid rock 
most digging would be in softer ground. 
How did you figure their tunneling rate in rock out of curiousity?

ERRATA:
A couple things I forgot interior tunnel system in the hive has a 
Phosphorescent fungi/moss on the walls so there is ample light for 
anyone in it and all mimics suffer a -6 DX adj for total darkness. 

The summon Myrmidon spell used by the queen would summon available 
thralls to do her bidding/defending.
