[IC] The Trouble at Durbenford

[Bloodcookie]

As the spiders' assault drives him to the brink of unconsciousness, Ruathen staggers weakly back down the southern corridor, out of the spiders' line of sight. "More... behind us," he half-shouts, half gasps to the others.

 

[Lazlow]

"We're vulnerable branched out like this," Gil shouts to his companions. "We need to make our way back up the passage where we can narrow the field and draw them together - I'll hold this passage, move on back!"

With that he unloads another three rounds at the same spider, hoping to take it out once and for all.

 

[Dichotomy]

Humming softly, Konstantine concentrates on his spell and moves as far as he can back whence the party came.

 

[TiCaudata]

Jasper moves back up the corridor, healing Ruathen as he goes.[sblock=oc]I believe that I will be at the intersection after 1 move, and since I go before Ruathen, I'll heal him after the move.[/sblock]

Padraig, male human fighter

"Nice work, Konstantine! Seems like you're always coming through in a pinch. I never met a bard as handy as you to have around!"

Padraig makes his way back up the tunnel until he can get a shot at one of the spiders with his bow.

[sblock=OOC]Will fire at the already-injured spider.

The party makes a strategic withdrawal as the remaining visible spiders continue their arcane assault on Gil. He returns in kind, though, dropping one and injuring the other.

Zagnak guards the rear, and sees an occasional leg or mandible pierce the illusion. If the monsters can overcome their false visions, they may soon be back.

If, by the time Konstantine acts again, the illusion has been broken, the bard will inspire courage. If the illusion still holds, he will maintain concentration on it.

 

[TiCaudata]

[sblock=OC]moderate, swap out Silence[/sblock]"Be ready to take out those behind us after we drop this one!" Jasper reaches out to bolster Gil.[sblock=OC]CModW, swap for Less Resto[/sblock]

 

[Vigwyn the Unruly]

Padraig, Male Human Fighter

Padraig curses under his breath as his arrow flies wide. He nocks another and sends a volley toward the remaining spider.

[sblock=OOC]Mwk Comp. Longbow +10/+10/+6, 1d8+5, 20/x3.
If the first spider drops while Padraig can still move, he will move to get closer to those behind the illusion.[/sblock]

 

[Bloodcookie]

Ruathen nods in gratitude to Jasper, and moves to place himself between the rest of the party and Konstantine's illusory wall, providing ground cover against anything that may disbelieve it and burst through.
