Moreen's aid washes over Todarr, clearing his head. The dragonborn, still slowed, lumbers over to Tromolden and makes a brutal strike at the mage. Blood gurgles in Tromolden's mouth. He opens it, perhaps to utter one last evil comment, but falls to the ground, dead.
OOC:
Moreen causes Todarr to save against dazed (11 + mods = SUCCESS). I'll give him the +4 hp from Moreen's sword as well since nobody spoke up about that.
Todarr is still slowed - he moves 2 east and then charges tromolden. +10 vs ac (+9 base, +1 charge) = CRIT!. max damage 13 + 1d6 necrotic = 14 damage total. Tromolden dies. Todarr gains 5 tmp hp from sword.
Todarr saves against slowed condition = 9 FAIL.

As the lone remaining orc looks around, the thundering sound of feet grows louder and louder. Finally, an enormous creature appears at the edge of the battle.
It looks as if two giant spiders of different species were merged at the thorax, so that the mouth of each is facing in oppoisite directions. You can count at least ten spider legs. In front of each of the two spider mouths, where you would expect to see two legs, you see two arms instead, possibly taken from orcs or goblins. Each of the four arms carries a battleaxe.
At first, the legs of the aberrant spider beast appear unable to agree on a direction. When it spies the stone and the party, they at last agree, and begin rushing toward you. This thing is astonishingly fast, given its hacked-together nature.
The remaining orc snickers when the beast arrives, and moves behind the beast for cover. Unfortunately for the orc, the spider is apparently hungry, and quickly sets upon the orc, silencing its screams with hideous chomping noises.

No sooner had the threat of the orcs seemed to subside that a new horror presented itself in the form of a ten legged monstrosity.
"Light of Erathis!" Moreen cursed, "What is that?!" Fear washed over her as she gripped the rosary at her neck. Even in her exploits as a cleric, the number of creatures she encountered that were this terrible could be counted on one hand with fingers to spare.
Watching it devour the last remaining orc was sobering. She steeled herself by putting one foot in front of the other at first. Then like an avalanche her steps turned into a reckless charge, shield held protectively in front of her and her sword swinging in a fast and hard arc.
[sblock=actions and ooc]
actions
move action - move to the spider thing
minor action - divine challenge it
standard action - holy strike 1d20+7=26, 1d8+5=13
if Moreen can't reach it with a single move action, then change the standard action to a charge.[/sblock]

"By the Gods!" Joshua was shocked by the apparition. Despite that he acted swiftly and rushed down the hill nearer to his companions.
He lifted his staff and cast forth a bolt of arcane force which fizzled harmlessly in the cool morning air.
[sblock=OOC]Magic Missile vs Ref: 6+6 = 12: Roll Lookup
[/sblock]
"Why now, when we are tired and weary? Ioun preserve us." Joshua took a deep breath and drew upon himself his last reserves of energy.
Once more he threw forward his hand; "To Belos Ischyros!"
This time the bolt flew true and struck the monstrosity a mighty blow.
[sblock=OOC]Spend Action Point; Magic Missile 20+6=26 vs Ref; Roll Lookup
Hopefully a hit - Nay hopefully a crit! If it is a crit the damage is 13 from the power (2d4+5) + 3 from the staff Roll Lookup If a hit but not a crit please feel free to roll the actual damage[/sblock]

Moreen and Joshua both manage to score hits that would fell most any beast. This monstrosity, however, only seems to twitch with eager anticipation of more carnage to come.
The mouth that did not swallow the orc is dripping saliva into the ground.
OOC: Moreen hits for 13 damage, gains 2 tmp hp.
Joshua misses.
Joshua spends AP and crits for 16 damage.

Karis circles wide behind the creature, and at the last second lunges for its... other front, is perhaps the best term, since it can hardly be described as a "back". Her sword somehow finds its way past all the chitin and sinks deep.
[sblock=actions]Circle behind the tree to H4, then move to I5 and attack with Deft Strike. Hits AC 29 for 14 damage, including CA and SA. I need some new d6s.[/sblock]
