[Round 9]
Jerrel and Nathan head straight for the stairs on the other side of the mast and start down as Tereg and Alix try to determine what would be on fire below decks. Peering over the edge of the grate above the hold, Tereg is not able to see much in the gloom and smoke. He cannot see any licks of flame though and the smoke is by no means billowing out.
As Jerrel reaches the bottom of the short flight of stairs he can see in the chaos of the hold many broken cages and dead animals. Through the haze he can make out a large spider-like creature the size of a pony skittering out of the reckage. The creature's body is dark brown with yellow stripes, its furred legs long and spindly. The front pair of its ten legs rear up threateningly, their tips flattening into terrible discs studded with dozens of hooked suckers. The monster's head is horrifically oversized, dominated by immense mandibles that chatter and clack with obvious hunger. And its headed straight for him...
ooc: The creature is about 30ft away from Jerrel who is at the base of the stairs. It currently has partial concealment due to the smoke (still no evidence of flame yet) and the floor counts as rough terrain. Nathan is right behind him and Tereg and Alix are above deck. Unfortunately poor Julian remains unconscious.
Damage recap:
Alix
Jerrell 7/13
Tereg
Nathan 7/10
Julian -4/7 - unconscious and stable on the deck

*Alix has no way to know about the situation belowdecks unless alerted by Jerrell.*
(OOC: Also--yikes!)

In all of his travels, Nathan had never seen such a nightmarish creature as the one that was emerging out of the smoke and racing towards them. Stepping to the side of the longshoreman, Nathan raised his crossbow up and fired quickly, hoping that the bolt was strong enough to punch through the creature's thick scales.

"We will need help here!" shouts Jerell, feeling the rush of air when the bolt pass near his head. He put his shield in front of him and put himself between Nathan and teh creature and await it to come to him.
[SBLOCK=OOC]Jerell ready an action. As soon as the creature come in range, he attack it with his sword, keeping his shield for his defence.[/SBLOCK]

[Round 10]
Tereg continues to peer into the depths of the smoke, spotting the large creature heading towards the stair case he looks to Alix and says, "Come on I think the others are about to get in over their heads." Then he moves over to and part ways down the stairs (he's now right behind Nathan).
Jerrel readies himself, shield and sword out.
Nathan fires his crossbow bolt at the creature. The bolt strikes home hitting the creature behind the head and sinking into its carapace. Yellowish ichor begins to leak from the wound. He wipes his brow from the effort of firing through all the smoke and haze.
The creature lunges forward towards Jerrel, moving swiftly around the debris littering the floor. One of it's padipulps attempts to latch on but cannot find purchase. The creature backs off 10 feet into the debris after launching it's spring attack. While Jerrel does not get an attack of opportunity he was waiting for the creature to approach and manages to swing his sword at the extended padipulp before it can retreat but misses.
Alix alerted to the danger follows Tereg down the stairs. It is difficult, but he can just make out the creature 10ft from Jerrel.
