[QUOTE="Urko, post: 2660874, member: 30822"] [b]Gathering round the pitfall[/b] [color=silver][size=1]Welcome back! Glad you’re feeling better, Pebele![/size][/color] While Eff Flat and Erin greet the stranger, Dargin and Matilda rush to Sanae’s aid. Dargin recognizes the spiders as corpse spiders – so named because of their propensity for breeding within dead bodies. They tend to bite when swarming, which is painful but usually not dangerous, although a small percentage of individuals have allergic reactions – occasionally lethal ones. A few of the spiders are swarming up out of the pit. Malk snaps at a couple before snorting in disgust and keeping his distance. ‘He has no name’ peers into the pit curiously, but does not comment. Matilda makes it into the pit without injury, although it is rather a tight fit. The spiders, already covering the paladin, eagerly swarm over her as well. They seem to have a genius for finding their way through any gap in clothing and armor. In short order both women are finding their accommodations extremely inhospitable. [color=silver][size=1]I’ll need 2 Fort saves from both of you – one to avoid being nauseated by being covered with nasty arachnids and one (very easy) to see if you’re one of the few who are allergic.[/size][/color] The ragged man looks from one to the other of the party members with obvious alarm. He backs away, a crude stone cudgel raised in defense. His retreat is halted when he runs into a tree. [color=sandybrown]”’Scuse me, friend,”[/color] he says to it, tipping his leaf hat.
