City of the Spider Queen

[Malachei]

Aden is still hiding, when the mental alarm hits his mind. Trusting he is not spotted by the enemies, he tries to locate them first.

[sblock=OOC]

My Hide: 23 (see roll above)

My Spot: Spot vs. Bebiliths (1d20+15=28)

My Initiative: Initiative (1d20+6=12) (uh, really bad again)

If I see them, I take care not to close in and stay out of reach (I assume they have 10' ft. reach). Depending on who goes first, I will decide my action -- is this a surprise round?

OOC: Did you see their spot check of 34 in my last post?
_

 

[Malachei]

OOC: Yes, but Aden would not know of their spot check, of course. He's kind of convinced of his reputation as the ghost -- until he sees that they see him. What do I see?

[sblock=Behind the illusionary wall]

Two enormous spiderlike creatures stand at the ready in this small cavern. One hangs back, near the exit at the far end, but the other advances menacingly, making a loud clicking noise as it comes. More graves are cut into the walls of this chamber.

Although Dargen watches as Aden disappear from the corner of his eye, his main attention is on the approaching monsters. He carefully steps sideways away from where in last saw Aden in the hopes of setting up a flanking movement.

Once in position he assumes his initial stance and waits for the monsters to come to him.

Talhia Shen, human beguiler

"Not safe!, Not safe!" comes the mental scream of Fafnir as the little dragon comes quickly back out from behind the illusionary wall.

[sblock=OOC] INIT everyone and past the illusionary wall can you post a map with Aden and Dargun both about 10' in from your side and two of the monster tokens below across the room in front of the other "blue wall". Thanks [/sblock]

Talhia finds herself caught off guard by the sudden pronouncement, though Fafnir's mental image calls to mind what she might know of the beasts.

OOC: Since we all know the wall is an illusion, does it still block our vision?

OOC: Since we all know the wall is an illusion, does it still block our vision?

Yes until you either...

A) make a Will save to disbelieve (DC 16) or

B) interact with the wall yourself for an auto success Will save to disbelieve. [/sblock]

Fafnir huddles around Morrolan's shoulders still not feeling truly safe from the huge spider-demons. He is ready to teleport away at any true sign of danger, like being eaten.
