The sounds and sight of battle greet your eyes as you exit the stone house.

Lorien sings next to you, his voice an inspiration. Halmar stands over the remains of a spiderbeast, which he's deftly cut in half. Sheyla pulls her sword from the corpse of another dead spider-like thing. Another one of the beasts stalks Reneg at the far end of the pier, well beyond your reach. Gareth seems to be frozen in fear.

You know there is another beast above you somewhere, on the top of the house. Your heard its monstrous footfalls but you aren't certain where it is. You do not see it above you but you know it's there just beyond the netting and fishing gear hanging on the house's wall.

The gladiator moves out, and waits next to Lorien, like a snake waiting to strike his prey, his chains clinks as the man searches with his eyes for the foul arachnid.
 

Reneg grits his teeth as the spider bites into him. He wonders briefly if he should let a summoned ally deal with the threat, but then decides that's even more trouble than merely attacking and he swings his weapon at the annoying spider.

Your staff cracks one of the spider-thing's hard spines. However, the creature hisses at you, holding its ground.

[sblock=OOC]These aren't the simple cliff spiders that the Lady warned you about. The vermin are known as a giant sand spiders. The creatures' poisonous bites causes paralysis (and damage) and their spines can inflict damage, including a dose of posion, to those that get to close. The creatures can pick up helpless foes and impale them on their spines. The creatures don't climb as quickly as monstrous spiders do but they're tougher to hit.

You do not have to wait long. Another of the beasts appears directly above you, chittering madly. And it is not alone. Another one of the beasts appears directly above Halmar, seemingly ready to pounce on the big barbarian.
 


Lorien keeps up the battlesong of the northern barbarians and smiles as it brings back fond memories of the time spent with them. How lucky he's travelling with one.

You watch as two more of the creatures appear above you, Quinn, and Halmar, on the roof of the stone house. The two spider-things seem posed on the ledge, ready to jump on anyone who moves.

Quinn manoeuvres to cover Halmar, and uses his prepared attack to cover him from the spider ready to attack.

The spider motions to jump from roof onto your barbarian friend. You whip your spiked chain through the air and hit the beast on its soft underbelly. The strike hurst it badly as a huge gash appears just before it jumps towards Halmar with poisoned jaws ready to strike.

The spiderbeast above you does the same. It aims for your chest as it jumps down toward you, its venomous maw wide open. You have only moments to react before it comes down on you.

OOC: Quinn, Halmar, and Lorien can all take an AoO against one of the spider-beasts. Quinn and Lorien can attack either spider-beast while Halmar can only attack the one jumping down on him. I've rolled the attacks for the spiders already (see OOC), so if the two monsters survive the AoOs, both Quinn and Halmar are hit (both saved vs. the poison, however).
 

For Dog Moon:

The beast lungs at you once more, trying to bite you a second time. Its gait is clumsy as it seems to be suffering from the blow you inflicted on it. Its maw doesn't even come close.
 

For renau1g:
Your greataxe tears into in the spider-beast just before it strikes you. The life goes out of its multifaceted eyes as its ichor splashes across you and Lorien, next to you. The beast crashes down onto the beachhead beyond the edge of the pier.

For Voda Vosa (and Blackrat):
You reacts intinctively to the spider-beast's attack from above. Your spiked chain lashes out but fails to penetrate the beast's hard exterior. It crashes into you and bites down clumsily on your arm. The wound isn't severe, however. The creature's venom fails to affect you.

Next to you, Lorien tries to aid you as the spider-beast slams into you. His longsword fails to find a soft spot on the creature's body, however. The blade hits solid chitin, which sounds like metal on stone.

The spider pulls itself off you, backing up into the doorway of the stone house. It turns its jaws towards Lorien in front of it.

OOC: The creature is now in square D4. It has partial cover against Quinn and Halmar but not versus Lorien.
