Zeegra

“We almost got them!” Zeegra shouts, then looks after another bolt flying past the beasties.

Round 7
Still wary, Ghur continues to stay on the defensive. Cian casts a quick spell, and the spider in front of Ghur stops its attack and teeters precariously in front of the dwarf. Meanwhile, the spider in front of Herev swoops in to attack, missing again.

From the middle ranks, Zeegra looses another bolt, missing wide, and Herev's attack is likewise ineffective. Cole finally is able to move forward and join the melee, but he's no luckier than the canis or the other warrior. Cellan, too, misses, although the air elemental manages to drop the spider in front of Ghur.

[Starman]

Cellan lets out a triumphant cry as his summoned creature kills the spider. One more to go. He lets fly another bullet at the last one that flies far wide while his elemental attempts to get a few more hits in before disappearing in a puff of air.

Herev

Enough with you creature.
Calls Herev and end the menace and panic with a powerful slicing swing. (1d20+7 =24, 1d8+4=10)

Cian

Seeing that only one heavily wounded foe remains, Cian braces himself and supports the others by holding the rope.

Round 8
Ghur continues to fight defensively, and Cian plants himself on the stairs, anchoring the rope. The remaining spider, smelling fresh meat, lunges at Cole, biting him in the side [10 hp damage], and the warrior almost instantly feels ill, poison coursing through his veins [3 Dex damage]. Immediately after this, Zeegra launches another bolt, which sinks into the spider's head, right above the eyes, killing it. And, finally, the combat is over.

Cellan, Cole, Ghur: Can you make Fort saves for me? DC 14.

 

[Bloodweaver1]

Cole fights with all of his soul, and hopefully fights off the infectous poison.

 

[Starman]

Cellan flops down on the stairs, weary from the fight and from the poison coursing through his veins.

"Ugh, Manakar, I don't feel so well," the druid mutters, gripping his wolf friend.

 

[Strahd_Von_Zarovich]

Herev

Placing the sword aside, Herev calls for Ghur to pass his warhammer back, the warhammer lies at the dwarf's feet.
Then he checks if all are ok.

 

[Scotley]

Cian

The dark elf carefully reloads his crossbow. "I can help cure the bites, but I fear that the poison is beyond my meager magic."
