I'll look around to make sure that spider's still not after me.DM: Make your Spot check.Player 1: Let's see. 13, plus all of my bonuses... 21. Do I see anything?DM: You see nothing, and then you feel a sharp jab of pain as you are hit by Shelob's stinger. Make a Fortitude save.Player 1: What? Stinger? Do you even know what a spider looks like?!DM: It's a special spider. Now roll the save.Player 1: Damn it! A 2! DM: Your eyes roll up and you foam at the mouth. Take [roll, roll] 8 points of Strength damage. Player 1: Well, I'm gone. [sotto voce] Damn hobbits...DM: Shelob grabs you and wraps you in her silk. she opens her mandibles to feed, and...Player 2: I jump in, carrying Sting and the Light of Elendil, and shout "Get away from him, you filth!"Player 1: But I left you behind at the Stairs!Player 2: It's not in character for me to give up that easy. Besides, you know Gollum was tricking you now, don't you?Player 1: Well, yeah...DM: Shelob drops the catatonic Frodo and lunges for you, fangs snapping.Player 2: I designate the spider for my Dodge bonus and wave the Light menacingly.DM: Shelob cringes, but it's not good enough. She lunges [roll, roll] and misses you narrowly.Player 2: OK, I climb up onto the rock wall, in order to get my higher ground bonus.DM: Shelob follows you up.Player 2: Fine. I attack [roll, roll]. A 25 total. Nice! Did I hit?DM: You stab Shelob in the mouth, and she cringes and screeches. Player 2: Good! I dive underneath her, and stab upwards at her belly.DM: Wha...Player 2: She's Huge, right? That means I can move through her space, right? That way, I'm out of reach of her bite.DM: Fine. She [roll, roll] fails her attack of oppurtunity, and you get to attack.Player 2: Crap! A 1!DM: Sting flies from your hand, and Shelob [roll, roll] grapples you, preventing you from grabbing it back.Player 2: Fine. That's what Escape Artist is for. [Roll, roll]. 32. Do I get free?DM: Yes. [sigh].Player 2: I grab Sting and thrust it deeply into her belly.Player 1: Do you realize how Freudian that sounds?Player 2: Shut up. [Roll, roll] A natural 20! Double damage! That's [roll, roll] 32 points right there.DM: Shelob screeches in pain, and retreats. You are victorious. And the xp puts you up a level.Player 2: Finally!
