OOC: Sorry, forgot to mention that bit. It's not actually that big, about the size of a cat.

Gah! I wondered why nobody had replied, my last post got eaten by Enworld. Sorry about the delay, folks!

Whilst Lynn, Edmond and L.Cpl. Kirton wait....

[SBLOCK=Dj'hân and Thorson]
Thorson's berserker reflexes serve him well as, quick as a blink, he hurls a throwing axe at the cat-sized spider. His aim doesn't serve him so well, unfortunately, and the axe embeds itself in the cabin door frame.

As the blast of hot air swirls from Dj'hân's upraised arms, it seems as if the spider has been blasted to oblivion. However, it quickly transpires that the creature has dodged out of the way, as it drops beck down and bites Dj'hân on the leg. The little halfling feels weakness seeping into his body.

[sblock=Dr Simon]OOC: Doc, it seems that you've re-posted your previous in-game post; that being the results of the first round of combat. All the die rolls match up. If you'll take a look back, you'll see that Valthosian and I have already responded to that post with our second round's worth of actions.[/sblock]
 

[sblock=Dj'hân and Thorson]

OOC: Yeah, I knew that really :blush:

IC:
This time Thorson's aim is true. His axe neatly bisects the over-sized spider and digs into the floor of the cabin.

OOC:
Thorson's axe attack 16+2 =18, hit. Damage 1d6+4 = 7, kills spider.
Dj'hân's second Fort save 13+5=18, success.

[sblock=Dr Simon & Thorson]Dj'hân takes a deep breath to steady himself following the spider's violent death. Comforted by the brutish half-orc's show of concern, the grimy guttersnipe turns and offers Thorson a weak smile. "Yeah. I'm okay. It don't hurt too bad. Nice shot there Mr Giant." Crossing slowly back to the cabin door, the young halfling ignores the bisected arachnid carcass, reaches up and jerks the handle of the massive throwing axe back and forth until it comes free of the doorjamb. Hefting up the unwieldy weapon in both hands, Dj'hân crosses the deck back to the gunwale to offer up the axe to Thorson. The boy repeats the process to fetch the half-orc's other axe in turn. Panting from the exertion Dj'hân looks back at the dark cabin interior for a moment. "Well, we didn't come here for nothing; gotta be strong right Mr Giant? I'll just pad in, take a quick look see and be right out. Kay?"

OOC: In light of Thorson's killing blow, I updated my last in-game post to remove Dj'hân superfluous attack action.[/sblock]

Thanks, just run if anything happens, there's nothing in there that's worth your life. You can't be strong if you're dead.

[sblock=Dr Simon & Thorson]The grimy guttersnipe offers the brutish half-orc a military salute. "Aye aye Captain."

OOC: Dj'hân will use his stealth abilities to carefully sneak down into the hold to investigate the ship's interior, being careful to check the flooring ahead of him for sturdiness and hidden traps as he advances.[/sblock]
 

[sblock=Ambrus]
The stairs down into the hold seem in better condition than the upper deck, but are still rotten and mildewed. Daylight flitering in through the gaps in the boards are enough for Dj'hân to see by. The hold is empty, save for a layer of bilge water and thick cobwebs. He spots more of the big spiders skulking in the webs.
