Feint Whispers Chapter #6: A Modest Proposal

[KaintheSeeker]

Whitney turns her horse to get a better bearing on the spiders near Jericho, pointing and chanting quickly as she sees a target.



OOC: Magic Missile on one of the spiders Jericho is having problems with.

 

[Festy_Dog]

Norri fires his crossbow at the remaining ettercap.

 

[jasamcarl]

Tarowyn's two arrows tear through the sides of the approaching ettercap. It replies with a loud hiss.

Bhartus futily attempts to disentangle himself from the Ettercap's webbing, but his stout form remains firmly anchored to the forest ground.

Jericho lets swing at one of the surrounding spiders with his gleaming black bastard sword, but fumbles horribly, the monstrous arachnid backing off on its eight legs to avoid the assault. All three spiders respond with hissing followed by a forward movement with their maws to snap at the D'orite. Jericho ably avoids two of the bites, but is given a (un)healthy scrape in the neck by the one on the right. With the warrior on the ropes, two arcane bolts fly pass Jericho to strike the already wounded spider furthest up the trail in its eyes, roasting the head. It falls to the ground in a twitching mess.

Jericho takes 10.

The remaining ettercap, after ducking under another of Norri's bolts, screams, "Flesh, Flesh!!!" in bad common and moves up the Whitney and jumps at her as she sits on her donkey, the clumsy bite attempt missing the Lady by a couple of feet as the donkey bucks. Whitney's nimbleness is enough to keep her mount under control.

Tarowyn's amazing dexterity allows him to disentangle himself from the ettercap web and move to flank the apparently wounded spider to the right of Jericho.

Bhartus is up. Two spiders and one ettercap remaining. Bhartus and Jericho are still entangled, but Tarowyn was able to slip out.

[Tokiwong]

Jericho will continue to swing his blade at anything spidery-like that moves, his anger growing as they try and overwhelm him, "You think Jericho will go down so easily, lo, oh evil spidery-things! The foreign gods themselves cannot slay me, so give me your best, and you shall die!"

 

[Krug]

Bhartus loads his crossbow and fires it at the ettercap.
"We'll roast you in this web!"

 

[Festy_Dog]

Norri drops his crossbow and draws his dagger, moving to flank the remaining ettercap and strike it where it'd feel it most.

 

[jasamcarl]

The entangled dwarf fires off his bolt at the ettercap, but alas, it flys past Whitney and the creature straight into the trunk of a tree. Meanwhile, his D'orite friend, also finding himself in a sticky situation, is having more luck. Jericho takes another swing at one of the spiders; thanks in part to Tarowyn flanking position on the creature, the warrior is able to get a clean slice at where the head meets the thorax; green blood flys over his black armor, the spider's body collapsing to the ground. But the blade does not stop, swinging to his left to put quite a scrape in the remaining spider's abdomen. The spider retaliates with a bite to Jericho's wrist.

Jericho takes 9.

Whitney is up. One spider and one ettercap left.

[KaintheSeeker]

Whitney spurs her horse back, waving her hands as she moves. Melf's Acid Arrow at the Ettercap, as Mist hisses loudly from her spot on her neck.

 

[jasamcarl]

The acidic projectile strikes the ettercap, splashing over its body, causing the exoskeleton to boil and melt. Norri moves behind the creature, but it is able to avoid the stabbing attempt now that Whitney's partial retreat has given it more room to maneuver. The creature makes a bit attempt on Norri, but the nimble halfling takes a sidestep to avoid.

Tarowyn is up. Same basic map.

 

[Krug]

Bhartus will fire off another bolt at the spiders on his turn.
