Adventure: Get Me to the Church on Time (DM: BenBrown, Judge: Renau1g)

[Eternal54]

Eraden follows Spider towards the largest of the arachnids, a particularly tough creature that has been harasing the group's dwarf. As he approaches the group he attempts a trick learned in his travels, a small spell taught to him by a pair of gnomes. He is out of practice and the spell fizzles before it can form. They would be dissapointed He thought, vowing to refine the spell when he had the time, but Palladys never fails the faithful.

"Face me or Pallady's smite creature!" He yells at the spider with an outstretched arm. The beast may not know the words he spoke, but even spiders could feel the will of the gods.

Sorry for the delay guys! I dont remember my last game moving this fast but I like it!
Also, are we focusing on the "Joompin Spida" before we search for the other spiders or should I go up to prevent them from rushing Mallaby?

The spiders retreat from this overwhelming show of force, skittering off into the webs on the right.

The Venom Spitter on the left spits at Goldenhorn with gobbet that comes nowhere near the minotaur. Two more, as yet unrevealed, miss Spider and Graval.[sblock=Enemy Actions]

The spiderweb patterns are cobwebs, and are difficult terrain.
They span from tree to tree, but large holes in them, so don't provide cover or concealment.
The brown circles are tree trunks, and impassible.
These can provide cover.[/sblock][sblock=status]Eraden: P5 HP 41/41, Surges 12/12, AP 1, second wind unused

Mallaby is not a fully trained fighter. He will only defend himself on his own. He will however, follow orders.
As a minor action, any character can have Mallaby spend an action. He can't use more than the usual complement (standard, move, minor) in one turn, but a PC's minor action can be used for any of them.

Try not to get him killed. He is paying for this, after all.[/sblock][sblock=enemies]Allarian Jumping Spider: AC 17, Fort 18, Ref 17, Will 14
+8 vs AC; 1d8 + 6 damage. Secondary attack +5 vs. Fort; 1d6 poison damage and the target is dazed until the end of the spider’s next turn.
NB: I screwed up the block last time. Secondary should be vs. Fort.

Herd Spider: AC 16, Fort 15, Ref 13, Will 14
+7 vs AC; 1d6+4 poison damage and ongoing 5 poison damage (save ends)
Venom Spitter: AC 17, Fort 16, Ref 13, Will 14
+8 vs AC; 5 damage[/sblock]

"Where's all tha spittle comin' from? Just like me secon' cousin's daugh'er! Always spittin' e'erywhere." The dwarf scans the area, a bushy eyebrow raised comically, looking for other spiders hiding in the webbing.

"An' ye get back 'ere, ye hoppin' fiend! Me and me axe've got a few words fer ye ta nibble on!" He tugs on the webbing and, in a fit of frustration, swings his axe between his legs, freeing himself in quite the dangerous fashion.

[sblock=Actions]Minor - Perception check to spot spitting spiders. 1d20+7=27
EOT - ST vs. Immobilized (success) 1d20=20

Conditions:
Nil

OOC: I think the unspoken intent was to drop the jumping spider, especially after we found out it's an elite, and then round up the rest but that might've changed now that they've run off a bit. We should definitely watch for him to charge back in again, as the spiders aren't affected by the difficult terrain.

Watching the Spider hop away from Graval, Perin gave chase. "Oh no you don't!" Perin said slipping passed the group, focusing his energy into his staff, and sent it crashing out as a multicolored arrow, striking the Jumping spider mid air.

"Ah ha! Found ye both, ye harlots!" Graval shouts, pointing out the locations of the heretofore hidden vermin. "Ye see 'em, lads? Way in tha back an' over by tha hoppy bas'ard we been givin' tha whatfor!"
[sblock=Actions]Free - Curse a bunch and show the rest of the group where the remaining enemies are.[/sblock]

 

[bluesfella]

Zardi races forward shouting "We must not let them flee!" and ends up next to the Herd Spider, but now covered in the sticky webs stretching between the trees. The webs are thick enough to hamper his strike, and because of this his swing misses the spider. He curses loudly and swings again, but the webs have now so entagled him that his attack once again misses.

As soon as Zardi steps into the web, he realizes it's much stickier than he had anticipated, and he is caught up in the webs. He's still in range to attack, but can't move his feet.

OOC: Should I roll my save now, since I just finished my turn? Or should I wait until the end of my NEXT turn?

OOC: Should I roll my save now, since I just finished my turn? Or should I wait until the end of my NEXT turn?

OOC: Good question. It's an immediate interrupt, so I guess I'll say "now".
