"Whoaa that was close!", yells Mardocan as the web burn up. "Grundan carry on making that vermin a pin cushion!", says Mardocan. Mardocan will continue to ready an attack against the spider if it comes into range but will however try to be more careful of the webs that it is firring and will fight defensively. (OCC: Will get a +2 to AC and -2 to attack)

Upon seeing the arrow find its mark Grundan razes his hands above his head shouting loudly and shaking his fists. He then fires another arrow at the spider.

What a tangled web!

Initiative for combat:
Mardocan
Spider
Grundan


Mardocan continues to stand his ground waiting for the spider to make the first move.

As the last of the web has burnt away the spider scurries toward Mardocan (readied melee attack roll of 5 + 0(BAB) + 2(STR) – 2(DEF) = 5 vs. AC14; a miss) narrowly avoiding the monk’s swing with the quarterstaff. The spider snaps at Mardocan (modified melee attack roll of 16 vs. AC15 + 2 (DEF) = 17; a miss) but gets a mouth full of quarterstaff instead.

Grundan fires another arrow (ranged attack roll of 18 + 1(BAB) + 1(DEX) = 20 vs. AC14; a hit doing 1HP damage) but does not aim properly hitting the spider in the leg.

Mardocan places his quarter staff length ways accross his body and withdraws 10' giving his stronger companion an opportunity to wip spider a$$.

Seeing the spider come charging at him and instinctively realizing Mardocan’s plan Grundan drops his bow and grabs his big old axe. Moving to within striking distance he takes a swing at the spider.

Grundan


Mardocan squeezes past Grundan, retreating in a tactical manner.

With Grundan blocking the path to its lunch the spider scurries up the wall (modified climb check of 25 vs. DC15; success) and onto the roof throwing another web (modified ranged attack roll of 18 vs. AC15; a hit) at Mardocan covering him in silk. Mardocan is entangled!

Grundan takes a step forward, eight eyes stare at him as he swings his axe (melee attack roll of 12 + 1(BAB) + 4(STR) = 17 vs. AC14; a hit doing 13HP damage!!!) madly … seconds later pieces of spider and drops of goo start dropping from the roof. The spider is dead.

"Ah %&$*#" is all that Mardocan gets to say as he struggles to free himself (Strength check) from the tangled mess of webs. "Grundan, that is about 100 to 1, in your favour... thanks again my friend. See if you can help me out of this mass of webs.", says Mardocan.

Once Mardocan is free of the webs he will suggest the two go and investigate the spider lair a bit further, being on the look out (Will make spot checks) for any more spiders as they do so.

Grundan laughs loudly holding the axe above his head in triumph shouting repeatedly “Mighty Grundan kill bug” until he hears Mardocan’s cursing.

Grundan then helps to free Mardocan from the webs and if successful moves to the door of the room where the spider was hiding but does not enter. Instead he listens carefully and look around to make sure no other spiders are lurking around.

Free at last ... well ... not quite

Mardocan tugs and pulls at the web (break check of 8 + 2(STR) vs. DC16; fail) but just seems to get himself more tangled in the process.

Seeing that Mardocan isn’t getting anywhere, Grundan grabs hold of the web and tries to pull it apart (break check of 15 + 4(STR) = 19 vs. DC16; success) snapping the strands with no effort at all.

Once Mardocan has the last pieces of web off him they cautiously make their way to the room at the end of the hallway. They both have a good look around before they enter the room. The lumps in the room are the dead, mummified bodies of literally hundreds of rats, plus various humanoids.

Mardocan will use his quarterstaff to try and break free one of the humanoids from its weblike coffin and fighting back nausea from the inevitable exposure to the corpse will search for anything that might prove useful to aid their escape from the tomb. (Search the bodies)
