[IC] The Trouble at Durbenford

[michael_noah]

The map.

 

[Bloodcookie]

Unsure whether or not they've been double-crossed, Ruathen rounds the corner to face whatever fired on Gil, and casts a Flare of his own before the eyes of the one nearest.

 

[Lazlow]

Injured, confused, and still shaken from the gruesome remains strewn about the cavern, Gil simply lashes out with a yell at the nearest non-party member.

[sblock=OOC]Rapid shot (if possible) at #7.[/sblock]

 

[michael_noah]

Ruathen attempts to disable one of the spiders, and though his spell is successful, the thing's spellcasting is not affected. The barrage of force-missiles continues as the spiders scuttle about the cavern, some of them up the walls.

The two humanoids cower as the spiders move past them.

[sblock=ooc]Those "in" the walls are each 10' up. The ceilings here are 30' high. 2, 3 and 4 have partial concielment.

R: flare. Fort save: 2+ fails.

[Dichotomy]

[sblock=OOC]I apologize for not posting yet. I'm having a hard time deciding what Konstantine is going to do. If its acceptable, I'm going to wait to see more of the others actions (though I shouldn't need to wait to see the results of such).[/sblock]

 

[Vigwyn the Unruly]

Padraig, male human fighter

Padraig fights through his fear and confusion. His thoughts are all a-rush and panicky. The veteran falls back on his military training to steady his mind and focus his actions. 'The spiders can climb higher than I can reach,' he thinks to himself. 'So my sword is no real use here.'

The fighter sheathes his sword and draws his longbow, moving to get within 30 feet of the nearest spider if possible.

 

[TiCaudata]

Jasper heals himself and moves towards the creatures in front of him. "Take them out as fast as you can!"[sblock=oc]Cure moderate in place of one of my bull strengths, 5' step towards them.[/sblock]

 

[Dichotomy]

Konstantine quickly assesses his friends' situations. Hoping to buy time, he sings a melodic line and a solid wall appears just in front of the foes to the southeast.

He turns to his friends and whispers, "It's fake." The bard then moves back behind Zagnak.
[sblock=OOC]Using disguise spell to cast silent image of a wall. The spell cannot be identified.[/sblock]

 

[Bloodcookie]

Noting that the spiders down the southern passage would fire on him before he could reach them, and unwilling to chase blindly after the two that scurried off to the west, but determined not to allow the others to be ambushed from behind, Ruathen prepares himself for their probable return.

 

[michael_noah]

Konstantine turns the tide momentarily by taking the spider-like creatures to the south out of the battle. The others begin peppering the things with arrows, Gil connecting soundly with one of those that returns to lob more missles.
