Herev
To the halls of the sky king I guess
Herev says to nobody in particular and thinks about his dream.
What a view, he says and look around, this is a good place to camp and start climbing in the morning, I have a feeling that our bones will gladly need a good night sleep.
As for climbing – Herev will lead the way and tie the rope to himself

this is a low-flying panic attack
Again, the night passes uneventfully, and you're able to get good, solid rest. A good thing, the next day's progress considered. Herev spends the morning getting everyone tied together [Use Rope +3, take 20] and ready to climb the mountain.
The stairs are brutal and steep — it is sometimes necessary to almost crawl up them, but you manage easily between the fairly slow pace and the assistance of Herev's rope. All the while, the snow continues to fall, heavily. About three-fifths up the side of the mountain, and just before nightfall, Cellan, Cian, and Ghur hear a strange scratching and chittering sound.[sblock=Assumption]Marching Order: Herev, Ghur, Cian and Keita, Zeegra and Zottel, Cole, Cellan and Manakar. I've loosely culled this from earlier posts.[/sblock][sblock=OOC for Cellan, Cian, and Ghur]Six seconds to react, please.[/sblock]

Cian's warning is enough for all of you, and, as you turn, you see three large spiders covered in tufts of stiff white hair, climbing around the sides of the stairs from just behind you. Eight pale blue eyes mark each of their faces, with huge, dripping fangs tucked beneath their horrible heads.[sblock=OOC]Initiative and two (2) rounds of combat actions, please. There is no surprise round. Be aware that you are (1) tied together and (2) ascending a very steep stair. These two factors will combine to reduce your maneuverability by half. The three spiders are currently ten feet away from Cellan and Manakar and twenty-five feet away from Herev. Engaging in melee on the stairs will be very hard, requiring DC 13 Balance/Dex checks each round. The stairs are five to six feet wide at this juncture.[/sblock]

Zeegra
Zeegra's Initiative: 18
1st Round: Zeegra spins around as she hears the warning, almost entangling herself in the ropes tied around her waists. Her voice carries the arcane power that is forming as she casts a spell into the direction of the spiders.
OOC: Casting Glitterdust. DC 16.
2nd Round: Zeegra pulls out her crossbow and loads it.

Cellan 6 & Manakar 11
[/sblock]
Manakar, not comfortable on the uneven ground, stays next to his master, attacking any of the creatures that come near him or Cellan. The druid drops fog cloud for summon nature's ally II to summon a small earth elemental. He places it right behind one of the spiders and orders it to attack.
The next round, Manakar continues to hold his ground in front of his master, viciously snapping at any spiders in reach. Cellan pulls out his sling and readies a bullet to fire. The earth elemental continues to pound its target.

Herev
Init on steep stairs (1d20+2=16)
With no ranged weapons at all and being the last, Herev Hold his ground, sits and holds the rope as hard as he can to balance those who might fall.
