Spiders! Round 2 Ends, Round 3 Begins
Abrielle plays a bit of music to inspire her friends and steel herself, then fires an arrow that skips off the ceiling rather than burying itself in one of the spiders.
Abde'ragman fares better with the aid of his magic spell, planting a crossbow bolt right in the abdomen of a spider, which shudders and twitches more, making a terrible noise of pain and snapping at Evanar, grazing his left cheek just before retreating a bit.....
Another spider nearby doesn't even get that close as it snaps at the young man, while Fayne hacks into the first child-sized spider and drops it!

Initiative Order, Round 3:
21 Spider #3 (8 dmg, unconscious, dying)
18 Spider #2 (3 dmg)
16 Spider #1 (7 dmg, unconscious, dying)
15 Evanar (16 damage, 5 Strength damage)
15 Fayne (4 damage, filth fever incubating)
14 Abde'ragman
9 Spider #4
9 Abrielle (4 damage, filth fever incubating)
Luckily these are relatively little spiders so Evanar's 11 is successful against the venom.
Abrielle activates Inspire Courage, and everyone gets its benefits now (+1 to attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, and saves against fear/charm).
Spider #4 snaps at Evanar, with a terrible total of 9 to-hit, not even coming close.
Abrielle steps around for a better shot, but her arrow hits the ceiling instead of the nimble spider she was aiming for.
Evanar misses his target, struggling with the spider-venom's effects on his muscles.
Fayne badly wounds spider #1, making it fall to the ground like spider #3 and start twitching in its death-throes, unconscious.
Abde'ragman steps to one side for a clear shot, then badly wounds spider #2 with a magically-guided crossbow bolt. The spider remains alive and active, though.
Spider #2 bites at Evanar again, but retreats a bit afterward. Got a 14 to-hit, barely striking Evanar for 1 damage.
Roll another Fortitude save.
Evanar, Fayne, and Abde'ragman may take their Round 3 actions now.[/sblock]
