[QUOTE="Tonks, post: 3078050, member: 42402"] As everyone moves back from the shattered grate, it only takes a moment for the first of the spiders to come crawling out and soon the swarm comes pouring out from the grate in a skittering rush. [color=gold]“By the Traveler’s staff…”[/color] Aubreck begins backing away from the grate slowly and handful of spiders head his way, the majority flow onwards towards the gathering of bodies in front of them. Standing beside Alin, Bruce saw the young man trying to ignite the torch and willed the flames the soaked end to catch flame. As the first wave of spiders neared them, Bruce swept his torch and watched as the flames began spreading through them. However even as many of the spiders burned, the unrelenting stream continued towards him and he was soon engulfed in their midst. Bringing his torch back across again, the sight of his arm covered in spiders unnerved him for a moment and the momentum was lost as his only instinct was to get away from the spiders. Looking at the approaching hordes, Kerwick watches those in front of him bringing torches to ready. Watching as two of his companions became covered with the spiders, Kelved struck the tindertwig to his torch and as the flame caught, he prayed to the Far Traveler he was not too late to help them. Alin’s senses told him the spiders were upon them a heartbeat before the first one crawled onto his boot. As the torch began to ignite, he felt the first of the bites puncturing into his legs and soon his body was ablaze in dozens of small bites. Backing up once more, Nicolai felt the storm bending to the power of his blood and as the glowing orb formed in his hand, he saw the swarms succumbing to the power he wielded. However finding a suitable area to strike proved more difficult with two of his new crew in his way. Sending the orb towards the back of the swarm, it exploded on the deck, leaving only a smoking hole in its wake. Actions? [sblock=Round 1] Initiatives are listed first with actions/wounds being in ()s. Bruce – 20 (AoO 19 vs AC ?? hit 6 damage vs S2) (Reg attack 7 vs AC ?? miss) (Takes 1 damage, after reduction for being in swarm at end of its turn) Kerwick – 16 (complete defense AC 17) Kelvad – 11 (Begins lighting torch) Swarms – 8 (Advance towards Alin and Bruce) (S1 10 vs AC17 miss) (S2 9 vs AC 16) (S1 -8/?) (S2 -6/?) Alin – 5 (Begins lighting torch) (Takes 3 damage after reduction from being caught in swarm) Nicolai – 3 (14 vs AC ?? miss) [/sblock] | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [color=gold]Au[/color] | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | || | | | | | | | | | | | | | |x | |x | |x | | | | | | | | |x | | | | | | | | | x | | | | | | | | | x| |x | |x| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | N| | [color=red]S1[/color][color=olive]Al[/color] |[color=red] S2[/color][color=gray] B[/color] | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |K | |W | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [/QUOTE]
