[IC] The Trouble at Durbenford

[Dichotomy]

[sblock=OOC]I'm presuming that those of us that can't see either have or soon will realize that we have company.[/sblock]
"Fall back to the room! We have a choke point!" Konstantine calls. The bard moves against the north wall in the previous room and sings a rallying battle song.
[sblock=OOC]Inspire courage of course.[/sblock]

 

[Lazlow]

"Oh... CRAP," Gil mutters under his breath, his usual wit escaping him at the sight of the giant verminous horde. He makes his way as fast as half-orcanly possible to the previous room and takes up a position in the northeast corner, keeping an arrow trained on the doorway.

 

[Vigwyn the Unruly]

Padraig, Male Human Fighter

Padraig feels his blood run cold at the horrific sight, and nearly swoons. He swallows hard and feels a dry click in the back of his throat.

Regaining his composure, he sheathes his sword and runs back into the previous room with the rest of the party, drawing his bow as he goes. He takes up a position agains the wall farthest from the door and readies an attack against the first spider that dares pursue them.

 

[Bloodcookie]

Ruathen likewise takes up position, poised across the doorway from Padraig, and prepared to cast Grease into the center of the room ahead of them as soon as the first spider appears.

[sblock=OOC]Konstantine's got his everburning torch for light. Since he carries no weapons, he's always able to provide the light. I think I noted that once a long time ago.[/sblock]

The party makes a withdrawal to a more strategic position, led by Gil and Padraig. The spiders advance, spinning webs that fly down the tunnel and cover Konstantine and Jasper.

The construct also follows, but, hampered by the tight quarters cannot harm Jasper. Ruathen is not so lucky as he makes his withdrawal, though, and the thing delivers a crushing blow across his back as he exits the hall.


[sblock=ooc]Konstantine, I'll let you decide whether you'd like to continue as you'd mentioned, since you'll most likely fail a strength check to pull away from the spiders.

[Dichotomy]

Konstantine gives Jasper a look of near-terror.
[sblock=OOC]Delay until after Jasper.

If I'm still stuck, I pull alchemist fire from my haversack and fling it to wherever best to burn the web to get back to the room (probably the square to my south, if Jasper is no longer stuck).

If I'm not stuck, proceed as above.[/sblock]

 

[Lazlow]

"Ruathen, Zagnak! Can either of you pull Konstantine out of the web and into the room? Stay low, they're climbing the walls!" Gil quickly scans the walls and ceiling in this room for any holes that the spiders might come through.

[sblock=OOC]What can Gil see through the doorway? If he can see one of the spiders up on the wall, he'll take a few shots. If he only sees the construct, he'll wait until he sees something that's more likely to be damaged by an arrow...[/sblock]

 

[michael_noah]

[sblock=ooc]It appears Jasper is MIA. If one of you would like to propose a course of action for him, I'll run with it.[/sblock]

 

[Lazlow]

[sblock=OOC]If his STR is halfway decent, he should probably try to get free of the web and into the room. If not, er... Prepare to be attacked by spiders?[/sblock]
