[QUOTE="Old Fezziwig, post: 3088453, member: 59"] [sblock=OOC for Bloodweaver1]It's going to be hard for Cole to move and attack, as he's on one end of the line, the two spiders are on the other, and you're all tied together with rope. It'd look something like this (with the dashes representing rope): Ce/Ma--Co--Ze/Zo--Ci/Ke--Gh/Spider--He/Spider Hope that makes sense. Side note: the stairs are ~5 ft. wide.[/sblock][sblock=OOC for Scotley]Yes, he can.[/sblock][sblock=OOC for Everyone]Just a reminder that melee combat will require, unless you have your PC do something inventive, like Herev, and lay back against the stairs, DC 13 Balance or Dex checks.

Cian continues singing, while Keita holds her ground. The two spiders attack Herev and Ghur again, oblivious to the fact that their packmate has fallen. Herev, again, fends off the attack, but Ghur is bitten again, slightly below the wound on his shoulder [4 hp damage]. Again, he shakes off the poison, but he's substantially worse for the wear nonetheless. Zeegra quickly takes advantage of the wounded spider's exposed flank (left open while it attacks Herev), firing a bolt at it. She misses wide, and the bolt flies off the side of the mountain. Herev quickly attempts to attack the spider, too, but misses, striking the rocks full on with the head of the hammer. The resultant vibrations are too much for the warrior to handle, and the hammer slips from his grasp and skitters down the mountain stairs a little bit, coming to rest at the feet of Ghur. Cole delays. Cellan holds his ground, while his earth elemental moves up the line towards Ghur's spider.[sblock=OOC for Bloodweaver1]Let me know when and how you'd like to act.[/sblock][sblock=OOC for Starman]I just picked the most logical action I could for your elemental.
