[LPF] Crab a la King

Scene 1 Resolution

OOC: Korey could potentially contribute a little more to the challenge but it wouldn't make a difference either way so we're just going to move on


Retrieving the eggs from the cave has taken significantly longer then you first imagined. After almost 2 hours your boots are getting soggy and the tide is beginning to rise. Eventually you manage to collect what is probably enough eggs, before the water gets too high in here in here and you vacate the cave. As you leave the cave bounty in hand a bit of sticky, web-like substance, shoots at fester from on top of the cave. Turning to look you can see a crab-like monstrosity that clings tenaciously to the rough stone, its enormous pincers held out menacingly before it.

Fester cannot move and is entangled by the web which the monster seems connected to by a silky strand.
[An entangled creature moves at half speed, cannot run or charge, and takes a –2 penalty on all attack rolls and a –4 penalty to Dexterity. An entangled character who attempts to cast a spell must make a concentration check (DC 15 + spell level) or lose the spell.]

The monster is above the cave entrance you just exited and is about 20 feet above the ground. In between C & I is the cave entrance so you'll be unable to climb up in between them. The Climb DC here is 20 due to ocean spray and all the terrain is difficult due to the increasing tide.


GM: Surprise round is over, roll initiative & Knowledge:Nature

Noticing the entangled companion, Elessar immediately turned around to notice the attacking beast, trying to recall some details about it, along with Ahbon helping him out as usual, and getting ready for battle.

Initiative:

Elessar :: 14

Korey :: 13
Crab Monster :: 12
Yoshiki :: 10
Mortar :: 10
Fester :: 9


Elessar thinks the monster is called a Cave Fisher; A vermin and thus immune to mind-affecting effects. Also it generally finds high spots and drags it's prey up to it so it can claw/eat it in peace.

Note that in addition to being entangled Fester is also currently immobilized as the Cave Fisher is holding on to the other end of the web. Also 5'stepping is not possible on the the ground since it's all difficult terrain. Feel free to post your action early if you want, makes it slightly faster to resolve stuff. As before any questions feel free to ask me here or send a PM if you'd prefer.

As the rising tide works against Korey's movement and he grits his teath against the swell. Quickly realizing the dire situation the druid may be in, he plans to present himself as a better target.

Korey abandon's his crossbow, and struggles agaist the tide to move beside Fester. As he moves forward he draws his War Axe, bringing it back for a side swing.

"Hold still, Fester, this won't be hurtin' a bit!", he bellows over the sound of ocean spray. Korey swings cleanly at the silky strand, well above Fester's head, in an effort to sever the web connection and free his new companion.

OOC:
Drop crossbow in F9. Free action.
Move to G10. Move Action
Draw weapon as part of a move action. Free action.
Attack silken strand (2 Handed Swing). Standard action.


OOC:
WOW! That was really bad!
