Round 2:
Init order: Jovik (26), Spider (
16), Kael (6), Danth (waiting), Jokad (no roll)
One of the three prisoners lifts his head, as if trying to focus on the battle. His eyes are bloodshot, almost red, but he stares at the conflict as if willing you to win, as if, perhaps, realising only now that you are here to help.
Jokad feels the poison surge into his blood-stream. It burns, actually seems to burn in his blood. He buckles over involuntarily for a moment as the wave of debilitating pain washes through him. Sweat beads suddenly spot his forehead, and the colour starts to drain from his face.
OOC:
-7 to strength. Please incorporate the effects of this on future rolls and also what you can do.
Jovik, seeing his friend struggling, flips another dagger into his free hand. He stabs forward with Goblin Hook as he makes a backwards slash with Gull's Wing. He is angry, but also too experienced to let that interfere with his calm. His attacks are blindingly fast, and also both true. Thick jets of ichor explode from the bulbous body of the spider as his twin daggers carve deep wounds into its carapace. The stench released is awful, and the high-pitched scream the spider emits makes Jovik's ears hurt and cause both Mal and Kibb below to bark in distress.
OOC: spider now at -100hp
The spider, in pain now, barges at Jovik, trying to tear the neck from the foe that caused it such pain.
It hits, its two large pincers grabbing Jovik by the neck, shaking him a few inches off the platform and then throwing him back a yard against the wooden wall behind. Jovik feels the poison within him, feels the pain of the bite, and waits to see if it will floor him.
OOC:
hits for a critical causing 15hp damage. Requires a DC22 save against poison, or 1d8 strength damage will be taken.
Kael, seeing two of his companions in a bad way, tries his luck at distance with his scorching ray attack. The fire shoots out, but the speed of movement of the spider as it lunges at Kael takes the beam wide, instead sending thin tendrils of burning web falling lazily to the floor of the barn.
Danth, seeing Jovik has been pushed back, moves up onto the platform and readies his sword, standing now between Jovik and the beast.
OOC: Jokads action is required, then the next round Jovik will only be able to make a ranged attack as he is behind Danth now.
