Leif's AD&D 1E Game [IC 01]

[Leif]

Spiders on the Bridge

Ellydd strikes the spider he attacked (S1) a solid blow, and its legs curl up as it dies.

 

[Strahd_Von_Zarovich]

Attack S2 (1d20+2=22) - Hit natural 20
Damage to S2 (1d8+3=6)

Gorash strides to the right and strikes the spider a deep wound.

Spiders on the Bridge

Gorash's telling blow crushes the thorax of the arachnid S2 and the verminous creature expires at once.

OOC: The natural 20 should do something special, but in this case just the damage rolled was enough to kill the monster. Therefore, I'm postponing until a later time making a binding decision about what is the effect of a natural 20. [possibilities: Max. Damage, Double Damage, Some other extraordinary effect at DM's discretion?]

Spiders on the bridge

The last two spiders still team up on Girion Valtar and both try to bite him. Both spiders bite viciously and penetrate Giron's defenses! Take 2 hp of damage and roll 2 saving throws vs. poison at +3.

1d20=20, 1d20=20

 

[Helfdan]

Saving throw 1: 21
Saving throw 2: 4
Oops!

Spiders on the Bridge

The (rest of the) party is now up. Girion Valtar crumples to the floor of the bridge in a heap, foaming slightly at the mouth. He appears to be alive but insensible.

 

[Strahd_Von_Zarovich]

Pull him back!
Gorash calls and steps next Girion. He swings his Axe but is too distracted by Girion lying next to him.

Attack Spider3 (1d20+3 =5, 1d8+3=7) - Fail.

 

[steeldragons]

Ellydd does as Gorash suggested, lamenting his lack of a Slow Poison spell. A mistake he vows to not make again if Ehlonna lets Girion live. [Given the current map, he'll drag him back into the corner of Z-18, as the farthest point he could get to.] Ellydd then begins praying over the poor ranger in fervent hopes the grace of Ehlonna will fortify his body against the spider's poison.

 

[Leif]

Spiders on the Bridge

S4 attacks Gorash, viciously biting into the Dawrf's exposed arm. (saving throw vs, poison at +3.)
1d20=20

S3 spies some new meat and attacks Riel, missing.
1d20=1

PCs are up.

 

[Leif]

Ehlonna's Mercy?

steeldragons, please roll 1d% for each point of Ellydd's wisdom bonus. Do not combine or modify the rolls in any way. In other words, I'm gving you as many chances as Elydd has wisdom bonus points to make an extraordinary roll. I'm just not telling you whether you're looking for a high or a low roll.
