Rolled, you are fast and nearly uncrackable, and you fit through crevices no ant will stoop through — but you cannot fight. The ants climb root lattices you can't (yet). Amber resin seals answer only to acid. Sigil arches answer only to a stolen brood sigil.
Progress saves at each stratum. Dying only sets you back to the stratum door.
