The warriors of the group made short work of the first spider to come to close to the party. Zanword's harpoon upending the creature onto its back, the remaining legs crinkling inward as it died. The others tried with everything they had to bring down another with weapons and magic flying towards the thing, wounding it badly.

Aridha's fire scared it enough to causes it to turn away from the group and jump over the short ravine to try and get away. As they watched the creature move, they all noticed a strange aberration rush out from the cover of some thick webs and scamper up a tree, it also moved as though it wished to escape. The large spider acting as some sort of strange protector between it and the group, as it unleashed a fan of webs at Aridha.

Zanword hadn't noticed what went on towards the other side of the web-like dwelling. He kept his eye on the spider high in the trees ahead. He was ready when it sent its webbing out to try and ensnare the sailor. Slightly distracted he was caught of guard when another of the aberrations jumped out of the web wall beside him, its mandibles snapping as it tries to kill the young swashbuckler.

OOC: Too many rolls in one post, I think. Nothing showed. Also, new map?

 

[EarlyBird]

A sticky glob of web falls over Aridha, immobilizing her almost instantly. A voice in her head screeches in horror.

"NOoo! Must be free! Must run! Must hunt! Must KILL!" it growls out momentary cause a migraine to flare inside her skull. (1 hp dmg)

[sblock=Shayuri]
Transforming now will auto free you, just for the dramatic effect of it. [/sblock]

Zanword has an astounding amount of luck as both the spider and the bug-beast, both seem unable to corner the quick and dexterous swashbucler.

[Charwoman Gene]

"Sen kylma" muttered Gwylla as a blast of blue white energy struck the spider and its corpse froze in place. She looks at her hands and says, "I... could get used to this..."

OOC: Ray of Frost: 1D20+5 = [20]+5 = 25 1D8 = [3] = 3 Ray of Frost Crit Damage: 1D8 = [4] = 4

 

[hero4hire]

"Thar's one of them two-legged buggers!" Templeton clucked as he made his way through brush and webbing with nimble waves of his torch until he flanked the ettercap. He plunged his rapier into the spiderman.

OOC: Move+Bonus: Dash to T20 Standard: Since he is adjacent to an ally I get sneak attack vs Ettercap #2 Rapier attack vs Spiderman: 1D20+5 = [13]+5 = 18 sneak attack vs spiderman: 1D8+1D6+5 = [5]+[2]+5 = 12

Edit: This should be 10 damage. Typo +5 instead of +3

 

[Binder Fred]

The little spider feasted, and ignored the cackle. It had been a good cackle too.

"Hm..."

Being ignored, she... It made her doubt herself. Somehow made plain the disconnect between what she was and what she wanted to become... What was she *doing* here? She'd never done anything worthwile her whole life. Loving Gill had been her only accomplishment. The only thing she'd been proud of; that was all her own. And now he was- she was...

Rana leaned on her gnarled cane and watched spiders turn to ice, pointy bits of steel slide into fey flesh...

The Lady had sent them here, wanted a lesson taught, events influenced, but... "I don't care," she dully realized. "All this slaughter. Meaningless." Fun for younger souls.

She should have gone to see Marin instead. (Ha!) "Too much of a coward."

Which left... Rana let her feet carry her forward, towards the conflict building around the Zanword boy, not entirely sure what she would do once she got there.


OOC: Walk to Y19 for now

 

[River Song]

Bekah looks over at Emmyr, standing over the spiders corpse. The boy is having fun finally, she smiled to herself. Her smile disappeared when her meal-ticket, the Captain was getting himself into all sorts of strife, surrounded by the spiders and their spiderlings. With a distracted wave she summons a fine pink mist to settle down onto some of the combatants, hoping it will give her companions the edge.

[sblock=action]

Somewhat miffed she notices that only the spider is covered and that the nimble humanoids had avoided it.

Round 2

Emmyr spun his axes in his hands, cleaning the spider gore off them. Gods above, he hated spiders! But he loved to kill them!

Emmyr turned and sped around and ran up the grass as a humanoid spider creature leapt at Zanword and tried to bite him.

“Die, you filthy webspinner!” Emmyr snarled, throwing both his axes as the monster before drawing one of his swords. The first axe took off one the creature’s arms.

[Neurotic]

Zanword grins at new arrivals.
"So, we come to the heart of the matter."

Zanword pushes his cutlass toward the creatures heart. Unfortunately, it flinched from other attacks and his powerful thrust goes wide.

[Shayuri]

"Gah! I know!" Aridha yelped as she writhed in the webbing, trying ineffectually to pull free. "Stop it! If yeh want out stop screaming and help me!"

She saw it then, in her head...but more than that she felt it in her body. A hulking thing of fur and fangs and claws and rage. For a second it felt uncannily wrong, like she was towering over herself. She was this thing, and the scrappy lass standing in this spot...she was the wrong one.

And then Aridha grew. The webbing stretched and pulled, but was frayed and snapped as the girl who'd been in it swelled up to something vastly larger. It stuck in patches in thick, coarse brown hair, but it no longer limited her movement. There was truthfully very little that could. Grizzly bears let very little stand in their way.

The bear lifted its muzzle to the air and let out a roar...aggression and anger. It then whirled and galloped over towards Zanword. It lifted a gigantic paw...and swiped at the spider-thing he was fighting, lunging in to savage it with its teeth as well!

(Bonus: Wildshape to Brown Bear. Move over to Zanword. Claw and bite attack on ettercap in melee with him. ... Profit.)
