[QUOTE="Spider_Jerusalem, post: 2317894, member: 5507"] [COLOR=RoyalBlue][B]"FOR TYR!!!"[/B][/COLOR] The door scraped open. Milo darted forwards and hurled the fish into the dim chamber as far as he could. Torious stood ready, his hands flexing around the hilt of [I]Justicar[/I]. Thalin let the final word of his arcane verse hang in the air. Milo rubbed his hands on his trousers before completing his part of the plan. He waved his hands and spoke a word to no obvious effect, then levelled his crossbow at the centre of the room. Milo grinned in mischevious abandon as the spasming fish began to be dragged in erratic lines by his invisible helper, whom the halfling had kindly named Servant-For-Milo. Huddled in the entrance to the large chamber, the heroes waited. A long minute passed. Milo caught his breath as glazed shadow hovered in the depths of the web. Without a sound the sword spider dropped from its silken home to skewer the two fish as they slid over the ground. The three adventurers leapt to the attack. Torious pounced forwards, and hitting the ground running, screamed an almighty “FOR TYR!!!” as he charged at the spider. Thalin spoke the final word and once again his cloak billowed forwards to release two crisp daggers of ice. They streaked with unerring accuracy into the glistening cluster of eyes. Milo fired, but his missile strayed from the target. It whistled into the gloom of a newly opened section in the main room. Milo noted this with interest but shook his curiosity aside. Thalin leapt towards the spider with [I]Shard[/I] in his hand, his face a mask of concentration. The spider lurched backwards as Torious bellowed "FOR TYR!!!" again. In a holy fury he cleaved [I]Justicar[/I] through three of the spider’s seven legs. Torious had no time to think as to why the spider would be missing a leg because the spider began it's counter attack. Frost-burnt eyes swivelled to monitor threats. The spider turned fast and drove two raised legs at the Aasimar. Torious turned one aside with his sword, then rolled with the second as it punctured into his shoulder guard. With a warbling shriek, Milo leapt onto to spider's back. He raised [I]Vampire[/I] high, then plunged it down. The blade bit deep. Milo didn’t notice as tiny points of ivory slithered backwards from the blade hilt into his hand and the spider's blood began to be pumped into his own. Thalin struck low, but his scimitar screeched off of the tough chitin legs. Torious stood ready to defend, but the spider stepped backwards, piercing Thalin through the thigh with a chitin blade. Milo sheathed [I]Vampire[/I] as his companion cried out in pain. He pulled a small wooden toy from his pocket and scrunched it into his newfound glove. Closing his eyes, Milo punched his hand into the sword wound. Milo squelched open his fist then tumbled backwards and landed perfectly on a rail track. With a wet whooshing sound, the miniaturised [I]aqualish[/I] expanded to full size inside of the spider and exploded out of the creature in a shower of blood, chitin and silk. The debris of the spider scraped in desperation at the gut-strewn [I]aqualish[/I]. It stopped abruptly and the remaining legs curled inwards. Milo leapt into the air and whooped a victory cry, but was met with stupified glances from Torious and Thalin. Milo, happy to have trumped his companions for once, stepped triumphantly through the spider entrails and pressed his hand to the side of the [I]aqualish[/I]. With an odd popping sound, the contraption shrunk to the size of a childs toy in Milo’s gloved hand. Grinning from ear to ear, Milo placed the submersible in his pocket and strutted across the rail tracks to investigate the newfound opening in the chamber. [/QUOTE]
