Having a moment before the foul little vermin close, the giantsblood calls upon his innate abilities for protection from the threat. Kyl crouched, pulling his kukri as he did. He postures himself defensively, not wanting to let the approaching spiders to get in a clean shot. Lars raises his axe a bit, looking up, but tells the others firmly "Steady now, don't panic..." He waits until a spider comes within reach, then hacks at it with his battleaxe. Orinar heeds Lars' advice, and raises his massive blade above his head to strike as he waits for the spiders to near him; the thought that his sword may well be overkill in this situation never enters his mind. When the spider attack comes, it comes quickly. The monstrous arachnids scuttle forward, leaping to attack! Lars's and Orinar's weapons flash, and Lars's axe splits a leaping spider in two. Orinar's aim is less accurate. Likewise is Kyl's. The spider leaping at the half-giant actually skitters along the blade of Orinar's sword before getting close enough to attack. Nevertheless, Orinar jerks his hand away quick enough to avoid a bite. Kyl sidesteps another spider's attack; the foul creature lands near his feet. Menno, however, isn't so skillful or fortunate. The third spider's fangs sink into the meat of his thigh! Menno retreats, half-staggers away from the spider, words of magic pouring from his lips just before a gob of acid flies from his hands. The burning liquid strikes true. The spider twitches and squeaks, and then ceases moving.[sblock=Combat Box]Initiative Order: Kyl (13), Lars (9), Orinar (9), Spiders (6), Menno (6).Menno: 1 lethal, plus make a Fort save.Spiders: 2 down; 2 to go.
