Herev

Saying a silent prayer, Herev focus himself on the spider, trying to find a weak spot in the spider's defense he strikes hard and sinks the sword deep inside the bulbous furry body, causing much damage. (1d20+7 =19, 1d8+4=12)

I included the inspire courage.

Zeegra

Hoping to free Ghur from the spider's relentless attacks, Zeegra once more loads her crossbow and shoots again, but this time the bolt does miss its target (most likely).

Cole

Cole continues to struggle the with rope. All the while he hopes the battle will soon be over with no more injuries to his fellow comrades.


OOC: Damn Dice Gods!

 

[Starman]

The air elemental again slams its airy fists into the spider, drawing ichor. Cellan fires another bullet, this one also at the spider attacking Ghur. Manakar continues to stay at the druid's side, growling at the spiders.

Cian

Seeing Ghur take another bad bite, Cian abondons his crossbow to call upon his healing magic once more.

Round 6
Ghur, dangerously wounded, concentrates on warding off the spider, while Cian reaches forward to heal the dwarf again [+11 hp for Ghur]. The two spiders lunge again, but Ghur and Herev are able to defend themselves easily.

Zeegra's luck runs out, as her bolt flies high of the mark, but Herev is able to keep his feet under him as he drives the bastard sword deep into the spider's abdomen. Cole continues to fight with the stairs and the rope and makes no impact on the combat in this round; neither does Cellan. The air elemental, however, pummels the spider in front of Ghur with its fists.

Neither spider looks too steady on its feet.

Cian

With hope that a simple spell will be enough to turn the tide, Cian incants briefly and with a gesture tries to daze one of the spiders to forestall an attack on his companions.

OOC: [sblock]Daze on spider B. No effect if more than four hit dice.[/sblock]

Herev

Herev swings again the sword and tries to chop (1d20+7 =14, 1d8+4=5) the spider's hairy legs.

 

[Fenris]

Ghur nods a quick thanks to Cian for the healing and continues to focus on fending off the spider.

Cole Braddock

After what seems like minutes, Cole finally manages to get through the rope and up the stairs. With his blade in hand, Cole swings at what he hopes is a vulnerable spot within the spider's defenses.
