[Pathfinder] Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Hook Mountain Massacre

[hewligan]

The Frankly Huge Spider

From a mass of webs near the middle of the room on the back wall (there are several clusters of web) a HUGE spider shoots forth with great speed and bears directly for Jokad above. It will reach Jokad next round.

OOC: This thing is a biiiiig spider, moving at full speed towards Jokad. The rest of you are 25' away at the door, and 25' below Jokad, roughly.

 

[frostrune]

Jokad almost smiles when the spider finally shows itself... almost. This was far larger than anything he expected. Never one to turn from a fight he almost casually re-draws his spear and shield from his back and launches the vicious weapon when his shot becomes clear.


OOC: Move action to equip shield, draw spear (free action - quickdraw), and readies an action to attack when it comes within a single range increment (20' maybe?); he uses his Vital Strike feat for double weapon dmg

Init 8, Hit AC 29 for 16 dmg (19 isn't a crit threat for the Impaler of Thorns is it?)

Note that the wall that separated this room extends to the roof - so while there are platforms in the main room and in this room, they do not lead to one another. The only way into this part of the barn was through the door you entered via.

OOC: Natch

Jovik launches himself after the spider, determined to not let Jokad face this thing alone. But though he reaches the spider, his arm gets caught in the thick and sticky webs, and he can't even manage a stab at the creature.

OOC: The Impaler of Thorns operates as a +1 longspear, thus x3 critical on a 20 only.

Jokad almost smiles when the spider finally shows itself... almost. This was far larger than anything he expected. Never one to turn from a fight he almost casually re-draws his spear and shield from his back and launches the vicious weapon when his shot becomes clear.

The spider is perhaps only ten, fifteen feet away when the weapon leaves his hand. It hits the side of the spider and sticks there, bobbing as the spider closes the gap.

Jovik, trying to join the fray, misses with his attack and finds himself now a long climb from battle.

OOC: End of first round. Spider at -16hp damage, but looking unbothered by pain and still FREAKING HUGE.

Actions and initiatives for round 2 please. If you don't post you don't act.

 

[Fenris]

Jovik tears himself free of the webbing and hurries over to the ladder, heading up the ladder with no hands, relying soly on his ballance as he scales the ladder quickly. Goblin Hook in his hand, Jovik slashes at the spider as he gets close enough.

Upon seeing the spider emerge, rushing toward his friend, Kael quickly releases a bolt of force toward the chitinous foe.

Sorry for the delay, folks, it's the first week of winter term here and I got a smidge busy. Sorry.[/sblock]

Danth rushes forward after Jovik, intent on gaining the ladder and helping to fight the massive spider.

Rd 2

Now that the monstrous thing was upon him the nightmare of wriggling legs and ichor dripping mandibles made his skin crawl. With quickness born of a thousand fights for survival he draws forth Whitefire and lays into the face of the abomination with furious blows.


[sblock]Jokad draws his sword as a free action (quickdraw) and makes a full attack.

INIT 3, 1st AT hits AC 17 for 18 dmg (12 sword, 6 fire), 2nd AT hits AC 22 for 9 dmg (8 sword, 1 fire)

Visualizing the Shelob from LotR. Ewwww.[/sblock]

 

[hewligan]

OOC: InvisibleCastle is down, so I have used another tool that doesn't save rolls. Anyway, you have to trust me, I am the GM

Init Order: Kael (16), Jovik (12), Danth (8), Spider (6), Jokad (3)

Kael responds first, seeing the spider move very quickly across and up its webs towards Jokad. Kael quickly releases a bolt of force toward the chitinous foe. The bolts strike the body, but don't seem to cause the spider much discomfort, or really distract him at all from his actions.

OOC: Spider now at -24hp

Jovik tears himself free of the webbing and hurries over to the ladder, heading up the ladder with no hands, relying soly on his balance as he scales the ladder quickly. Goblin Hook in his hand, Jovik slashes at the spider as he gets close enough. While his balance is good on the ladder, he has to stretch out too far with his right hand, and in doing so fails to get enough force behind his strike to penetrate the thing's thick hide.

Jovik, seeing Danth move quickly up the ladder below him, completes his move onto the platform beside Jokad.

The spider, a mess of chittering fangs and dancing legs. It bites forward towards Jokad. The Shoanti gags as its pincers move towards him. Its stench is horrendous, like rotting flesh.

It's bite connects with the soft tissue of Jokad's neck. Jokad gasps as the pain lances into him. It is stuck to him, two inches of pincer, one in his neck, the other his left shoulder.

OOC: -17hp to Jokad. Also I require a save versus poison, DC22, or you will suffer 1d8 strength damage - which may retroactively reduce the damage from your attack..

Jokad reacts quickly, pulling Whitefire with the calm and quickness born of a thousand fights for survival, and lays into the face of the abomination with furious blows.

His two savage hits both dig into the armour of the beast, causing it to shake itself free. It is hurt, but it stands there, staring at Jokad with its alien eyes, and prepares to pounce forward to bite him again.

OOC: Spider now at -51hp. Still looks strong.

Initiative and actions for next round please. Danth will need to make a full move action to get behind Jovik (and out of range for close combat), OR Jovik will need to step back one square (and out of close combat range) to let Danth enter the platform in position for close combat, or Danth can attack from the ladder, but needs to make a DC 25 balance check to avoid dropping his weapon while attacking.

 

[Fenris]

OOC: I assume if Jovik stays where he is he can flank the thing yes? if so, Jovik should strike on his init then step back 5 ft and Danth can delay of he goes before that and then step up on the platform.
