The Irregulars rush through the undergrowth to the area in front of Noriaki, pikes at the ready.The big spider tenses, one instinct vying with another in its limited consciousness.Hú Lí, Noriaki, and Irregulars stand poised, with flute, sword, and spears.A strange hush falls upon the jungle for the briefest of moments.The spider, unable to resists the juicy target caught in its web, springs upon Noriaki. In a blur of speed, he slashes upward at it as it descends, but it pushes his sword aside with two legs just as he bursts free of the web and rolls away from the spider’s blow. Hú Lí produces a sudden screeching note on her flute, but the spider does not react, and it likewise ignores the Irregulars’ spears. Time seems to slow down as blows are exchanged; but at the end, the only casualty is the little spider, crushed by the Irregulars’ charge.Dartmoor manages to clear the poison from his face, though he is struck again by the spittle. Another spider spits directly into Noriaki’s eyes, making them sting horribly.[OOC]Note that the web in Noriaki’s square (K14) is now gone.I'm going to open recruitment. Pentius and GROMkill, if your friend can get a character together quickly, I may add him/her, but I'll probably pick whichever available character seems most useful to the group (I think a striker would be best, or maybe a controller if twilsemail wants Dartmoor to be more strikery).[/OOC][sblock=actions and rolls]Dartmoor: minor to roll <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3091704/" target="_blank">Perception (-10 blinded) (1d20+8-10=0)</a>.

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 RulesThe 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][sblock=Perception 28]There is a small spider hidden in E13.[/sblock][sblock=Perception 12]There is a small spider hidden in K18.[/sblock][sblock=Perception 30]There is a small spider hidden in N21.[/sblock][sblock=status]PCsAlkas (A18) HP 35/35; surges 10/13Castile (L11) HP 31/33; surges 9/13Dartmoor (E18) HP 18/28; surges 8/10Hú Lí (I14) HP 24/24; surges 6/8Noriaki (K14) HP 14/27; surges 2/9; swift panther rage, blinded (save ends)Takahaan (J13) HP 9/24; surges 3/8; bloodied, total defenseNPCsAerys (A17) HP 24/29; surges 9/11Gelik (D17) HP 6/22; surges 3/6, bloodied, proneIshirou (C18) HP 19/24; surges 5/7Jade (C17) HP 28/28; surges 6/10Sasha (E18) HP 18/23; surges 4/6Bad GuysJumping Spider (L14), 8 damage taken, marked by Castile, AP spentSpiderling Swarms 1, 2 deadSpitters 2, 3 deadSpitters 1, 4, 5 hidden[/sblock][sblock=Enemy Stats]Please read the appropriate block(s) only when necessary to resolve attacks or OAs, or when you enter a square containing a web.[sblock=Jumping Spider]Joompin SpiderAC 17, Fort 17, Ref 16, Will 13; HP 56, bloodied 28<img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/bm.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":bmelee:" title="Basic Melee    :bmelee:" data-shortname=":bmelee:" /> bite +7 vs. AC, 1d8+3 damage and ongoing 5 poison damage (save ends)[sblock=When spider is bloodied]Nothing special happens.
