[Theroc]

Shakou slowly started making her way towards the cave, hoping the others remained with her... Vashti hadn't warned her that adventuring with this group was expressing a deathwish...

 

[Dr Simon]

The huge spider creature takes a step forwards on its web, and bends down to examine the intruders. It produces a string of sounds like a mixture of booming and hissing, that appear to be speech of some sort.

"Oom Shallassa. Shalashu Oom," it seems to say.

As it bends down, you see another spider riding on its back, smaller but still disturbingly massive, waving its forelegs and mandibles. The three faces of the huge spider-demon begin to glow with an eerie green-white light.

The large web strands begin to tremble. Four more giant spiders make their presence felt.

[SBLOCK=OOC]
Attached is a map, hopefully the 3d nature is reasonably clear. The yellow coloured webs stretch from about 10 ft. up the canyon walls to the ground. The green web spans the canyon about 20 ft. up, and the purple web is about 30 ft. up, near the top of the canyon. Strands from the purple web extend down to the lower levels too.

Let me know your character's position on the map - I figure you are somewhere around Row 16-18, Column G-I, or thereabouts.

Initiatives:

Annika
Three Flowers
Mystal Mar
Growling Ape
Large Spiders
Shakou
Huge Spider

[Dr Simon]

Anyone there? Have I gone and made it all too creepy again?

 

[Neurotic]

OOC:Sorry, I looked at the map and forgot to update. And nobody else bumped it...

Mystal has rapier ready and waits until spider comes close enough to strike at it. He is not much for talking.

OOC: He is however too small to effectively reach even 10' high web so if I read the map correctly spider #1 is on the ramp that lowers gradualy? Is there a place he can reach to get ON the web. Using party members as ladders if need be...

Initial location G16 ON THE WEB;

OOC: Yeah, the orange-coloured webs* touch the ground at the end that isn't next to the cliffs (so at the southern end for the one with the huge spider on)

*Obviously, they aren't *actually* orange-coloured, that's just for the map. Attack of the Happy Rainbow Spiders

Ape Form (AC: 17, Touch: 17, Flat Footed: 13)

Prepared for an attack, Ape still tries to communicate with the huge spider....

[sblock=ooc]
use of wild empathy. The roll is 1d20-1, if it is a magical beast...

[Shayuri]

Caught off-guard by Ape's attempt, Annika nearly swallows her own spell in surprise. She manages to break off her incantation though, and hold it with just a single word between nothing happening, and magical energy being sent out to sting and wound.

(Delaying to give diplomacy a chance. If the spiders continue to attack, she'll cast Magic Missile on them for a blistering 2d4+2 damage)

 

[Theroc]

OOC: Aren't Spiders vermin, not 'animals'? Also, Shakou is... at... H16 I suppose... I didn't add my action since Shakou was lower on the initiative than everyone else, besides the House-Spider.

 

[Blackrat]

Three Flowers stands there, right behind Ape, with White Lotus in his hands ready to strike as necessary.

[sblock=OOC]I've some trouble with the map and have no idea how we are organised but I suppose 3f will try to get as close as possible to the "ugly spirits" so he can slap them silly if Ape's "diplomacy" fails...[/sblock]
