[IC] Return of the Runelords

[Kaodi]

Shendra peers intently for a moment at the mold covered table and chairs. "Yeah, I don't trust that," she says flatly. Hugging the left wall she carefully moves to investigate the far door. "Maybe once we have investigated the rest of the house we can try our luck disturbing it - from a safe distance."

Teodor follows after Shendra and the others move toward the new room as well. Suddenly hundreds of swarming spiders emerge from the broken floorboards. Roll for initiative!

Shendra lets out a surprised shriek. "You have got to be kidding me!"

[Kaodi]

The panicked seer, realizing that stabbing a horde of spiders is not likely to do much good, awkwardly tries to smash some with the butt of her spear before retreating back to the previous room. She is definitely feeling that twisted ankle now!

OOC: Using her spear as an improvised weapon: [roll0] [roll1]. In the next round what are her odds of being able to heft a chair to smash bugs? Map: https://beta.ditzie.com/96344/5ce085992d155

Shendra moves back out of the room. Then Michael backs out into the hall. He also suggests that Teea should back out as well. Teodor tries to swing at the swarm with no success and then follows Shendra out. Teea takes her uncle's advice and moves out into the hall. Mei is able to hit the swam with a spell doing 3 points of electrical damage to it. She then moves out into the hall. The swarm swells forward moving through the room. The door seems to have slowed it some but it almost reaches Shendra and Teodor.

Actions for round 2?

Shendra is not impressed that the horde of tiny spiders seem to be hot on her heels. "Does anyone have some fire or something, torches, spells, whate - hey, Teea, what what it that you had done when we first met? You made something explode, right?" The seer retreats right outside of the house, clambouring down into the hole in the porch and up the other side.

Everyone follows after Shendra. Mei again casts a spell and an electrical arc hits the swarm doing 3 more points of damage. Teea is not sure that anything that she would do would be of any help. The swarm moves out into the hall.

Shendra is at a bit of a loss as to how most of them can fight the swarm but she says speaks a few words of encouragement towards Mei that have divine force behind them whilst continuing the slow retreat.

OOC: Casting guidance on Mei and then moving away again. Mei-Ying's flame arc would do some serious damage to a swarm, would it not? I had also wondered about Teea sprinkling a bit of her "dragonpowder" where we expected the spiders to stop next, then Mei's flame arc both doing its own damage and having some extra explosive effect.

The group continues to move while Mei casts her electrical spell. Unfortunately it takes a bit of time. Mei misses a few times but then she hits a couple of times only doing one point of damage each time. Then she misses 7 more times. But then she hits again for 2 additional damage. This seems to be enough and the remaining vermin disband in many different directions. Then the group returns to the house for further investigations.
