As the closest spider lowered itself nearer the ground Ayden gripped his warhammer tight and swung, striking the spider hard, as a crackling zap sounds from the impact and the creature shudders as it swings on it's web strand . (8 physical/5 shock = 13 damage)
Calenthang moves to engage the other spider, swings, but fails to wound the large arachnid, glancing off it's hairy carapace instead. Calling upon her goddess Teleri is granted a blessing for herself and her companions.
Dunstand moves to flank the spider facing Calenthang, the thing still trying to gain a solid footing, easy pickings for his critical eye. He strikes at it's most vulnerable spot. (4 physical/1 sneak = 5 damage)
The first spider, still reeling from the force of Ayden's blow lashes out at him with sharp fangs as it swings back towards him, puncturing his shoulder. (6 damage) Ayden easily shrugs off the sick feeling that comes over him shortly after the bite, ready to fight back with renewed vigor.
The second spider spins around to face Dunstand, it's fangs making an angry clicking sound as it reaches up to bite at his midsection. Making a short but quick leap back the rogue is easily able to avoid the attack.
Drogo whistles for Rex to attack with him as he joins the fight next to Ayden, stabbing with his spear, resulting in a dripping puncture wound in the large spider as it finally rests it's eight legs on the ground. (5 damage) Rex in turn, snaps at the spider, ripping at it's unprotected abdomen. (5 damage) The creature lets out a sharp screech as it falls, it's lifeblood continuing to flow from it's fresh corpse.
Sielwoodan's arrow, with some difficulty considering Calenthang and Dunstand engaged with the creature, finds it's mark in the remaining spider's side with an audible *thunk*. (6 damage)
