[QUOTE="Dr Simon, post: 4884806, member: 21938"] Annika's fiery feathers again strike the huge spider and burn away small parts of its carapace. Below it, still struggling to keep his balance on the now-bouncing web/net, Three Flowers strikes angrily at another nearby huge hairy leg, cutting it but not severing it like his previous attack. Ape joins Three Flowers on the web, and the huge spider tries in vain to stamp on the newcomer. Ducking past the flailing leg, Ape punches back with his lightning-engulfed fist, sparking an arc of power onto the huge creature and giving rise to the stench of burning spider hair. Meanwhile, the large spider set on fire by Ape's elemental struggles backwards up the web, flailing its legs to extinguish the flame on its back, with the elemental doggedly pursuing. The elemental fails to land a blow, but the spider succumbs to the flames engulfing it, and collapes on the web, burning into a cloud of greasy smoke. [COLOR="PaleGreen"]"Shallassa Oom!"[/COLOR] says the huge spider. High above, Mystal Mar abruptly vanishes from the webstrand in a puff of mist and reappears, BAMF!, 30 ft. in the air directly above the huge spider, and the large spider riding upon it. Dropping like a little white meteor, Mystal Marr spins in the air, feet and rapier point landing right on top of the smaller of the two spiders, then rolls to absorb the impact and drops to one side. The smaller spider squeals in surprise, the huge spider barely notices the impact. All things considered, Marr's attack seems to have affected the smaller spider less than would be expected. The large spider behind fires another web strand from where it is perched off the ground. This one lands on the spot recently vacated by Growling Ape. There is a crunching sound as the spider that had just been battling Mystal Mar up above rappels to the ground on its own web strand and lands on the piles of moss-covered bones, just a few feet from Annika. [SBLOCK=OOC] Annika - magic missile for 5 damage on huge spider. Three Flowers - balance check 7+1=8, unable to perform move action. Attack 17+5=22, hit on huge spider for 1d6+2=4 damage. Mystal Mar - Shadow jaunt to air above huge spider, about 30 ft. up. To tumble and avoid damage is a DC 15 check, so what I did was, since he also wants to add damage, give a +1d6 for every 5 points over this DC. Mystal is small, so he only causes 1d6 damage to somebody by falling on them from that height (see falling objects rule, SRD). Tumble check 27 in total, so +2d6. Attack 20+3=23, Confirm 7+3=10, no critical. Rapier damage 1d4-1=2. Falling damage 3d6=10 to spider shaman, who seems to have some sort of damage reduction. Growling Ape, move onto web, AoO from huge spider misses. Touch attack 16+6=22, hit. 1d6+3 damage = 7 electric damage. Elemental - 1+3=4, miss. Burn damage 1d6=5. Puts spider #5 down. Note that it is a D&D cliche that spider webs burn quickly and easily. These big cargo net style ones don't. Spider #1 (behind). Fire web at Ape, miss. Spider #3 (above). Drops to ground. Next up, Shakou. With the ghost light extinguished, she is no longer shaken. Rough positions (since people have had trouble with the Excel files): Three Flowers, Ape and Ape's fire monkey are all on the rear cargo-web, adjacent to the huge spider. Ape and Three Flowers are adjacent and in front of the huge spider. The fire monkey is halfway up the left-hand side. Annika is on the ground immediately south of this web. A large spider (#3, injured) has landed about 10 ft. behind her to the southeast, and further south, on another cargo-web, there is a second spider (#5, uninjured) firing webs (so far, with no success). Shakou is to the west of the rear cargo-web, on the ground, about 30 ft. from the "ghost girl" who is to the northwest. Mystal Marr is on top of the huge spider, adjacent to the "spider shaman", who is also on top of the huge spider. [/sblock] [/QUOTE]
