[QUOTE="Mewness, post: 5597345, member: 14889"] The big spider springs from its web straight at Noriaki, who slashes at it in response. The angle at which it is approaching upsets his balance, though, and he misses. The spider bites him three times before springing away as quickly as it came, leaving him unconscious and bleeding. The group hears movement in the jungle. A much smaller spider spits poison at Takahaan before disappearing into the undergrowth again. Another spits at Castile, but misses. Swarms of spiderlings pour out from the center of the web and surge toward Takahaan and Castile. Takahaan is cruelly bitten, but Castile escapes the worst of it. [GM]Dekana: Thanks for the reminder on hit points. I’m ignoring Castile’s actions because she’s after the bad guys in the initiative order, but you can keep the perception roll if you like (as long as you spend the minor action for it, of course). Note that Takahaan and Castile are in swarm auras and will each take 7 at the start of their turns. Takahaan has an opportunity to use Vengeance is Mine on Swarm 2 if desired. [B]Edit--NPCs:[/B] As a minor action, any PC can command an NPC to move. Alternatively, you can have one NPC move at the same time as you take a move, if that NPC is in your way. NPCs can't take more than the usual number of moves in this way. [b]All characters may now act.[/b][/GM] [sblock=actions and rolls]Joompin spider standard: Death From Above--jumps to F16 and attacks.
