As the party becomes aware of the dangers creeping in the woods, Tarowyn turns right and with a deft hand knotches and lets loose two arrows from his bow. They sail through the air into some bushes, landing with the now familiar sound of flesh being punctured followed by a blood-curtling noise, a strange combination of hisses, shrieks, and clicks.
Bhartus knotches and fires off a bolt from his crossbow. Despite the cover afforded by the trees foliage, the projectile finds its marks and a loud hiss erupts from the giant black arachnid, faint scars appearing in its carapice.
As Jericho advances up the trail, the four large spiders crawl down the tree trunk to the forest ground. They are greeted with a barrage of arcane energy eminating from Whitney's hand, two bolts colliding with one of two farther spiders.
Norri fumbles with his crossbow, leading to his bolt going far wide of the spider wounded by Bhartus. Just as the halfling's ill-fated attack is launched, two human sized creatures, spiderlike in their features, arise from their hiding space on the forest floor some 40ft to the right of the spiders; one has two arrow shafts protruding from its cracked skin. Moving in a gangly gait, they push through the brush towards the party, unleashing fluid from what passes for their mouths. The strange projectiles fly towards Jericho, once missing near the ground, the other, unleashed by the unwounded creature, covering the D'orite sticking to his black armor, binding him to the ground.
Tarowyn is up. The spiders are grounded but otherwise still in the same 'squares' where they started; two are wounded. The two ettercaps are 45ft diagonal and two the right of the party; one has been wounded.
OOC: Krug, by the rules, there is nothing stopping the spiders from hearing. Someone correct me if i'm missing something.
