"Argh!" Noriaki calls out, as the poison hits him in the eyes. He manages to reflexively shut them in time to avoid permanent loss of sight, but the poison still burns on his exposed skin. Well fueled by rage and adrenaline, Noriaki reverses his grip on his sword and brings is down in a wide arc at where he thinks the big spider is. Sadly, he cuts only air and underbrush. The wind swirling around him comes to his aid, however, gently wiping the poison from his eyes and flinging it harmlessly into a nearby bush. Able to see his prey again, the swordsman floats easily over the ruined underbrush on a gust of wind, in an attempt to circle his foe. "Taka," he says, his voice calm and even, like the eye of a storm, "Come. Let us end this."

The spider attacks Castile, easily getting past her defenses and injecting its poison as she struggles to free herself from the web. But when it tries to spring away, about a dozen of the Irregulars grab onto its trailing legs, dragging it back down again. Meanwhile, from the undergrowth, one spider spits at Hú Lí and one at Dartmoor, but both shots go wide.
[sblock=actions and rolls]Joompin spider attacks Castile: double attack vs AC, Castile; attack 1; damage; attack 2; damage
9(1d20) +7 = 16; 2(1d8) +4 = 6; 15(1d20) +7 = 22; 5(1d8) +4 = 9. Forgot to include CA for restrained, so two hits for a total of 15 damage and ongoing 5 poison (save ends).
Joompin spider jumps to L12.
Spitter 1 poison spit vs AC (+2 CA), Hú Lí
3(1d20) +9 +2 = 14, miss. It moves and hides.
Spitter 5 poison spit vs AC (+2 CA), Dartmoor
4(1d20) +9 +2 = 15, miss. It moves and hides.[/sblock]
[sblock=Special rules and terrain]NPCs: As a minor action, you can command any NPC to take a move. Or, at your option, you can move an NPC at the same time as your character moves, if that NPC is in your way. No NPC can take more than two moves a round.
Terrain Rules
The dark green terrain is heavy undergrowth. It is difficult terrain. A creature who is prone in this terrain gains concealment. If there are at least two squares of heavy undergrowth between such a creature and an observer, the prone creature gains total concealment with respect to that observer.
The light brown areas are relatively clear and count as normal terrain.
The dark brown circles are trees; they are blocking terrain.
The webs look like they will slow you down at the very least; should you enter a square containing a web, you can consult the spoiler block in the Enemies and Hazards section to learn its specific effects. Note that all the webs are in heavy undergrowth squares; the heavy undergrowth has its usual effects in addition to the web effects.[/sblock]

Castile, for a very brief moment, looks scared that the spider made it past her shield. However, her fear is soon overtaken by anger. She swaps her axe for her hitherto unused mace and pounds the jumping spider in the side, knocking it over into one of its own webs.
"Just try that again, go on!" she shouts angrily. In her rage, Castile tears apart the webs binding her and 'forgets' about the poison afflicting her.
[sblock=Castile stat block / actions]Actions
Start of turn: take 5 ongoing poison damage. 19/33 hp remains. InvisibleCastle is very good to my rogue, so I'm going to keep using it (sometimes I use the enworld dice roller if it's just a single skill check and not a full round of attacks).
Standard: Weapon Master's Strike. Before making the attack, Castile sheathes her axe and draws her mace. Attack vs Jumping Spider hits AC 21 for 10 damage, it's marked TENT, slid to L13, and Castile gains 4 THP. (1d20+6-2=21;1d8+4=10)
Minor: Dwarven Resilience (second wind). Castile now has 27+4/33 hp, 8/13 surges, and +2 defenses TSNT.
End of turn: Saving throw vs restrained succeeds. Saving throw vs ongoing poison succeeds. (1d20=14;1d20+5=24)

Hú Lí dances around between the webs, so that she is standing facing the big spider with all of her allies behind it. She bobs her head, then looking straight at the spider, blows a sharp, almost tangible blast on her flute, which sends the oversized arachnid staggering back, stumbling as its eight legs become unsteady, and landing right on front of Noriaki, who, seizing the opportunity, brings his massive blade down upon the creature's bloated body in a rush of wind, destroying the monster.

Noriaki flicks the ichor from his blade and whirls around, knowing there are more spiders, but not certain precisely where they are. The adrenaline pounding through his veins makes every second seem like a moment, and he looks like a thunderstorm, barely contained. Still, a satisfied smile touches his lips.
[sblock=mechanics]
Standard: Ready an action to charge with Howling Strike as soon as a spitter attacks(and thus before it can move and hide). If I can reach it, that is. But with speed 10 for a Howling Strike charge right now, I'm betting on being able to. I'm declining to actually roll Perception, since I can't hit a 21 on a natural 20.
In happy news, Noriaki has been fully approved! The judge fairy turned him into a real boy!
