Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mark Chance" data-source="post: 4563004" data-attributes="member: 2795">Spiders! (Surprise Round)Kyl trudges along with the rest of the group. When the shadow passes overhead, he looks up quickly........ and nearly walks into a tree. Lars keeps fairly alert, but is too busy watching his steps, hacking through any particularly egregious undergrowth, and thinking about the grim duty awaiting him up ahead to react very quickly when the shadow passes overhead. It takes him a moment to notice and mutter "Huh?" before he does anything. While not exactly swift to react or especially skilled at woodscraft, Orinar Giantsblood kept his keen eyes open, searching for any signs of danger under the dark canopy of the forest. His heritage aided him in this, allowing him to see in the dim light much better than a human would. Menno is slow to pick up on the signs, and nearly collides with a party member before looking up, trying to discern what has startled the rest.Distracted by the shadow passing, only Orinar spots the several small forms that burst from hiding. Four spiders, each in size about half the length of a man's arm, scuttle into view. While none of them are yet within weapon reach, they have caught the party in a rough circle. Surely, in mere seconds, they will close to attack...and to be attacked!OOC: Okay, I sort of messed this up. Orinar gets to act in the surprise round. The spiders are about 15 feet away all around. So, Orinar gets a standard action, and then we go into normal initiative sequence. Please narrate actions and provide relevant dice rolls.[sblock=Combat Box]Initiative Order: Kyl (13), Lars (9), Orinar (9), Spiders (6), Menno (6).[/sblock][sblock=DM's Dice Rolls]<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1825138/" target="_blank">Spider Initiative (1d20+3=6)</a><a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1825141/" target="_blank">Group of Spiders Hiding (1d20+7=21)</a>[/sblock]</blockquote>
