Spider's Path

Trinham Round 2

As his plan to stand off and use distance attacks has failed, Trinham draws his sword and hacks at the spider in front of him.

As the "misty purple haze with silvery specs sparkling inside like stars in the night sky" forms and falls on the spiders like a blanket, Lora notices that the spell is to close to her friends. The mist lightly touches Aidan, herself and the young unnamed scout. Luckly when the mist settles and clears off only the spiders were effected by the spell. Their long hairy legs pulled up under their round black bodies they both look to be peacefully at rest.

"There's another," Greyhay says pointing off into the web covered forest.

[Myth and Legend]

Lora mounted her Glaive and targeted the closest sleeping arachnid, then methodically and mercilessly drove the blade of the heavy, forward balanced weapon, trough the spider's head. Her teeth were clenched, her eyes - cold, and the girl felt no remorse when taking a life.

[sblock] 5 foot step towards the closest sleeping spider if it is needed. The Glaive has reach after all. Coup de grace: Glaive 1d10 x 3 = 17. Also, other DMs here made the castings seem "instant", and your hero was on a one round "cool down", but the effect took place before the combat round for the PCs is out. I will know from now on that if i am low on the initiative roll i must be careful how i target the AOE since the targets are moving towards us.

Also on Sleep: A sleep spell causes a magical slumber to come upon 4 Hit Dice of creatures. Creatures with the fewest HD are affected first. Among creatures with equal HD, those who are closest to the spell’s point of origin are affected first. So i have targeted one spider, it will definitely sleep as i centered the spell on it, no roll required, right? [/sblock]

Aidan grimaced at the sight of the spiders, not liking them one bit, but his desire to protect Lora from being harmed by the monstrous creatures as he mentally steels himself.

Pa wasn't bluffin' when 'e said there were monster's out 'ere...

The boy thought to himself, stepping forward to swing his sickle at the spider's legs, attempting to hamper it's ability to move before hacking at the beasts head, like a farmer cuts the wheat from the chaff... simple, yet economical blows, the only sign of Aidan's unusual talents was the speed with which he moved. However, as he moved to strike, he felt drowsiness wash over him briefly, throwing his aim off before he managed to shake the spells effects of, frustration evident at his failure.

End of round 2

[sblock=npc Claude]
Don't know what is up FM must have heavy school right before holiday, going to npc Claude for Round 2 [/sblock]

As Martomum and Lora kill the sleeping spiders Greyhay moves to a better postion to help attack the newest threat. But this spider seems content to keep it's distance climbing along the side of the tree it is near. Aidan and the other scout move to help the flank and both come up short missing the beast that Trinham just ran through. Jareth backs up to give Claude a shot but the paladin had started to put his bow up, quickly he backs away and redraws the weapon nocking an arrow. While Jareth swings and misses the beast that bit him. The last two spiders snap at the group their fangs dripping with venom.

Claude inhales slowly and focuses his mind and his arrow on the target that has presented itself in a shooting lane. When he let's the arrow go he exhales and closes his eyes for a moment following the perdictable path of the arrow into his target. Once it hits he smiles for a moment then goes back to his neutral expression and nocks another arrow.

I'm not posting as much due to my place in the initiative order. Claude will not need to be NPC'd.

Encouraged by his previous success, Trinham takes another chunk out of the spider that's attacking him.

[sblock=OOC]
Which spider are you guys attacking? Just wondering so I don't waste my time attacking the one you both are attacking, if you're attacking the same critter... since I think that'd be enough to finish it off.[/sblock]

 

[Dragonwriter]

Jareth mutters an Elven curse he learned years ago as he brings his chain around again, trying to finish off the accursed spider. Then he steps back again, hoping the spider follows so he can lash out yet again.

[sblock=OOC and Rolls]
Jareth AC 15, HP 8/10, -3 STR.

Attacking Spider D, then 5-ft. step back again, hopefully stepping next to Claude. The chain has reach, so also possible AoOs if the spider follows.
Regular attack and damage: 11 and 8.
For cryin' out loud... I can't seem to roll above 13 at all... Stupid IC...
And here's an AoO, just in case. Attack, damage: 5 and 8. Blasted thing!
