End of previous round:
Jovik feels the poison take effect. The same burning, the weakening. He gasps as the pain surges through him, leaving him feeling drained.
OOC:
-2 to strength
Jokad, hurting, but still active, staggers drunkenly. His limbs are on fire and his sword feels as heavy as a smith's anvil. The monstrosity still looms before him however and if the beast thought he would lie down and die it was sorely mistaken.
They needed to end this quickly before the whole clan of ogres came running. He continues to attack heedless of the wracking pain.
His first attack is weak, and bounces off the thick armour of the beast. He changes his stance and pierces forward with the second attack, trusting more in speed and perhaps the spider's own motion to make the blade bite. And bite it does, piercing the flesh of the thing on one of its legs, causing it to draw back a little in pain. It may not be finished, but then neither was Jokad.
OOC: end of round. Spider at -109hp
OOC: Init order: Jovik (24), Kael (21), Danth (14), spider (
11), Jokad (4).
Jovik gasps from the bite, but a moment later, as the poison courses though his veins, that he truely feels the effects of the bite. His limbs suddenly heavy, Jovik decides that he had done his fair share of damage to the beast making it squeal. So he drops off the side of the catwalk, rolling to his feet as he turns and flings Gulls Wing over his shoulder nicking the spider.
OOC: Spider now at -114hp
Indomitable, Kael presses his attack with a second scorching ray, hoping that this time his aim is just that much more on task and target.
Sadly, the attack, while striking the spider a glancing blow, doesn't seem to have beaten its tough armour, and the beast is unhindered and unharmed by the attack.
Finally in position, Danth twirls his fiery scimitar in hand, bids his time looking for a weak spot, and then slashes. The giant spider surges towards him, its twin mandibles seeking out Danth's face. Danth doesn't flinch, flashing forward with his curved blade.
Crimson Dawn cuts deeply into the face of the advancing spider. His blade buries itself four inches deep into its face, splitting it open, causing thick ichor to spray from the wound!
Danth watches the beast as it falls slowly backwards, its legs twitching in death, as it plunges with a wet thud to the floor below.
The man in the cage who has been holding his head up to watch the fight shouts "yes!" in a thin voice.
OOC: Congratulations on a good team effort. The spider is defeated.
