Dungeon of the Fire Opal, Part VI

[reapersaurus]

With grim determination, Ubaar grits his teeth and concentrates on his foe in this life-and-death struggle veiled in spidery webbing.

OOC: He'll attack the spider again, if close enough. If not, he'll try to break free using the best method available at the time (dagger if it's tight, STR check if structure is weakened enough by fire) Heavy - I think the one round delay for poison was neat. Good call.

 

[Taz]

Since Taz can't get past the web most probably, she just waits until it has burned down sufficiently, so she can help fighting the two spiders with her dagger.

 

[HeavyG]

Since Taz can't get past the web most probably, she just waits until it has burned down sufficiently, so she can help fighting the two spiders with her dagger.

So does the elf.

"Murhid, you're looking a little pale...Come down here and i'll heal ya." says Sollir as he taps Ubaar with his wand again.

Ubaar feels a rush of energy. Then, Murhid feels the same as Jalon touches him with his own wand. (3 points healing for Ubaar, 7 for Jalon)

At the same time, Kytess advances a bit to protect the group against the second spider, who is skittering up after having been outmaneuvered by Murhid.

She strikes in a complicated pattern as it arrives and tries to bite her. She scores two light wounds on the spider, which throws the spider out of balance and ruins its attack. (11-5(DR) and 8-5 damage)

"Yes sir... coming... just wait"
Murhid tries his best to push himself/escape from the entangled mass of web, using his legs to push off the spider if he can.

It’s not too hard, since the web is very weakened by the fire. Speaking of which, Murhid gets a nasty burn on the arm, as he unsticks his left leg and wrenches his right arm off the web, then flips over the edge to land at Jalon and Sollir’s feet awkwardly, his right arm still covered with flaming webbing. (1 point of fire damage)

At the same time, the spider over Ubaar climbs up its web out of reach of the barbarian, trailing foul ichor. Seems the last blow hurt it bad.

With grim determination, Ubaar grits his teeth and concentrates on his foe in this life-and-death struggle veiled in spidery webbing.

Since the spider has retreated upward and the web has been weakened quite a bit by the fire, Ubaar opts for his mighty strength. (DC 18, or a 12 or more on a d20)

With a shout and a great leap, the barbarian leaps out of the web, trailing flaming strands as he lands besides Kytess.

Here's the initiative for next round.

Taz
Ivellios
Sollir
Kytess
Jalon
Spider #2 (the one in the room)
Murhid
Spider #1 (the one over Ubaar)
Ubaar


(Note that the webs are very weak. They could easily be cut down, or they’ll probably be destroyed by another round of fire. Ivellios is certainly getting ready to hack down the webs if the three people in the entryway get out of the way.)

And the status of the party :

(S) Sollir Furryfoot : Hp(21/21)
(M) Murhid : Hp (8/21) 4 points of dexterity damage, poisoned ?
(T) Taz : Hp (19/19),
Sheela : Hp (9/9),

[reapersaurus]

Looking down the fangs of the devilishly monstrous spider, Ubaar glances over at the warrior-woman beside him and conspires ; "Let's team up on this horror - Ubaar's gonna go over the top if you wanna go low on the spider."

Ubaar focuses the strength of the Thunderbeast into the ends of his limbs as he channels a Feat of Strength to aid his greatsword's blow this round. (24 STR for 1 round)

 

[Sollir Furryfoot]

"I'll let you all what you do best, don't mind me..." Sollir says as he takes a step back, just after tapping Murhid with his wand.

(5 ft. step to M4)

 

[drs]

Sorry wrong id.

 

[Murhid]

"There is a cocoon up there; I think these spiders have captured someone..." Murhid says in the direction of Jalon.

Murhid will then;
1. If the web has near totally burnt away (allowing safe passage), Murhid will make a quick dash to his rightmost, table, (I9).
2. If Murhid has got 15 or more hit points by his initiative he will do as in 1., disregarding the flames.
3. If neither 1. or 2. are applicable Murhid will refocus.

 

[Jalon Odessa]

Seeing Ubaar's fury rising , Jalon continues to use his wand to administer to the barbarian's wounds.

'Rage on, warrior - don't count us out of this yet.'

 

[reapersaurus]

'Rage on, warrior - don't count us out of this yet.'

"You keep me up'n'fightin', Cap'n Justice, and Ubaar'll drop 'em all!"

Ubaar's sounds of exertion and rage fill the chamber.

 

[HeavyG]

With a great shout, Ivellios shoulders aside Jalon and slashes at the burning webs, his two swords clearing a large path through the strands and throwing the rest to the ground.

Taz then uses this path to enter the room.

"I'll let you all what you do best, don't mind me..." Sollir says as he takes a step back, just after tapping Murhid with his wand.

The wand heals Murhid of 3 hit points.

Looking down the fangs of the devilishly monstrous spider, Ubaar glances over at the warrior-woman beside him and conspires ; "Let's team up on this horror - Ubaar's gonna go over the top if you wanna go low on the spider."

Kytess attacks the spider, but fails to penetrate it’s thick hide.

Seeing Ubaar's fury rising , Jalon continues to use his wand to administer to the barbarian's wounds.

'Rage on, warrior - don't count us out of this yet.'

Ubaar gets much better under the priest’s ministrations, as Kytess dodges the giant spider’s bite. (9 hit points)

"You keep me up'n'fightin', Cap'n Justice, and Ubaar'll drop 'em all!"

Ubaar's sounds of exertion and rage fill the chamber.

"There is a cocoon up there; I think these spiders have captured someone..." Murhid says in the direction of Jalon.

Murhid will then;
1. If the web has near totally burnt away (allowing safe passage), Murhid will make a quick dash to his rightmost, table, (I9).

The agile monk passes by Ivellios and leaps on the rightmost stone table, just as the spider near the ceiling shoots a large gob of webbing at Ivellios. It hits the elf with force and wraps around him, anchoring him to the ground and the archway, and blocking the way yet again.

Ubaar focuses the strength of the Thunderbeast into the ends of his limbs as he channels a Feat of Strength to aid his greatsword's blow this round.

Ubaar shatters the spider’s back with a mighty blow and its body crumples to the ground, dying. (16-5 damage)

Just at that moment, a section of wall, about door-sized, up 8’ in the far wall, slides to the side and some gray humanoids jump out. A cold, high-pitched voice, cries out “Go, my pretties ! The crawlies are dead ! We are free ! Kill the meatsssss !” The voice comes from further in that secret passage as more humanoids pour out and look at you with evil and hungry red eyes.

Ghouls.

Taz’s light gets noticeably whiter and paler as they enter the room. Fortunately, you have other sources of light.




Here's the initiative for next round.
