Tarowyn rubs his eyes and yawns. Squinting, he notices the bear tracks and turns to the others. "These seem fresh. Let's see what comes of them."
 

ooc: da!! I have the next post ready, then i read the news on the enworld page...Ok, I want to keep this game going. Toki, is your sight still up? Would you mind terribly if we moved Feint Whispers there?
 

Fall leaves crunch under feet and hooves as the party makes its way into the forest. The canopy is not oppressive, allowing the forest floor to be illuminated various degrees of shading. A couple of hours pass without incident as the tracks turn onto a crude trail that leads farther north. The foliage becomes more dense and the shadows more abundent.

Tarowyn: Some three hours after the party begins its march, you start to notice another pair of tracks, much smaller and abviously belonging to a humanoid. Just then you also catch sight of a large creature clutches to a branch of a tree some 60ft up the trail on the right side; it is large and black and has mulitple legs, much like a giant spider. About 40ft off the trail to the right of the tree in which the spider is hiding, another creature is hunches behind some bushes on the forest floor. The revolting creature resembles a cross between a gangly human and a revolting spider. It has long slender arms and legs protruding from a rounded, fleshy body. It has a spider's head with a pair of bolbous, black eyes.

Bhartus: 60ft up the trail on the left side, you spot what appears to be a giant, black spider clinging to a tree branch about 10ft off the ground.

Jericho and Whitney: 70ft up the trail on the left side, you both spot a large black mass hiding in a trees folliage. It's difficult to make it out entirely, but it appears to be a large, black spider. On the opposite side of the trail, you see another one clining to the lower branches of a anothe tree.

Norri: You spot three giant spiders hiding in three different trees some 60ft up the trail.

Everyone gets to take a standard action.

Initiative: Tarowyn, Bhartus, Jericho, Large Monstrous Spiders(4), Whitney, Norri and Ettercap.

OOC: I'm assuming standard formation, namely

T
J
W
B N

Four spiders clinging to the trees about 10ft off the ground and 60ft ahead of the party and the ettercap about 40ft off to the left(east) side of the trail like so:

OOC: Ok, there is a possibility we won't see enworld for a while after the next couple of days, so if the worst comes to worst, we will move to Tokiwong's site here....

I will copy the last two pages of posts there as well as whatever is posted in the next two days. We can start there if no one objects. If so or you think the game has lost its luster, please email me here: jasamcarl@hotmail.com

I would like to get through the next two chapters with the party intact atleast, but no pressure. :)
 

"Three spiders!" Norri yells, pointing them out before bringing his crossbow to bear.

He loads and fires at the one with the least concealment from foliage.
 

Jericho nods to Norri, and moves forward ten feet drawing his sword and shield, and staying ready in case any get close. But is willing to wait for the spiders to come to him.
 

Hearing that the others have seen the enemy, Tarowyn drops to one knee and sends two arrows flying towards the human/spider montstrosity in the distance.
 

Whitney pulls back on her reins and tries to get out o fthe way of those behind her, so to let them move forward then looks for a likely target as she points her finger at a target and chants rapidly.


Magic Missile on the nearest spider in the first rank.
 

Bhartus fires a shot from his crossbow at the spider he sees. Can spiders hear? Would Moradin's hammer have any effect on them? he wonders.
