[QUOTE="Mewness, post: 5599757, member: 14889"] The big spider, perhaps daunted by Noriaki's swift recovery after being knocked down, decides to go after easier prey. Its leaping strike knocks over Gelik and another enormous jump takes it safely away again. More poisonous spittle is shot out of the foliage, striking Noriaki and Castile. Though the small spiders continue to keep to the undergrowth, some of them now can be easily seen. One swarm of spiderlings continues to harass Castile, without much effect on her, although Ishirou and Sasha feel the bites; the other scrambles desperately away from the Irregulars, but is terribly hindered by their formation. [sblock=actions and rolls]No reply from Cleverusername. Rather than NPC Alkas for potentially the entire fight, I'm going to pretend he's not there. Ishirou and Sasha take 5 from Swarm 2's aura. Joompin Spider standard: leaps to E16, attacks Gelik: [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3081476/]death from above vs AC, Gelik; damage (1d20+7=21, 1d8+4=11)[/url] Gelik takes 11, ongoing 5 poison (save ends), and falls prone. Joomping Spider move: prodigious leap to L11. Spitter 1: [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3081488/]poison spit vs AC, Dartmoor (1d20+9=13)[/url], miss. Spitter moves and hides. Spitter 2: [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3081508/]poison spit vs AC, Noriaki (1d20+9=28)[/url], hit for 5 poison damage. Spitter moves and hides. Spitter 3: [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3081520/]poison spit vs AC, Noriaki (1d20+9=16)[/url], miss. Spitter moves and hides. Spitter 4: [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3081530/]poison spit vs AC, Castile (1d20+9=11)[/url], miss. Spitter moves and hides. Spitter 5: [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3081544/]poison spit vs AC, Castile (1d20+9=26)[/url], hit for 5 poison damage. Spitter moves and hides. Spiderling Swarm 1: moves to H18, falls “prone” owing to the Irregulars’ zone. “Crawls” to G18. Spiderling Swarm 2: [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3081567/]swarm of fangs vs AC, Castile; damage (1d20+4=5, 1d6+2=8)[/url] miss.
