To the noble BORN 6/9/08 (finished)

Rayburn hunkers down behind the cover. Far too noisy. What am I trying to do, get myself killed? He takes a deep breath to steady himself, then casts mage armor.

Xaros fires a long range shot, which misses a tree by inches to strike the surprised beast and lodge in its metallic hide. It flings itself up the slope towards you, climbing more than running, and it gains at least 20’ still picking up speed. Its fur begins to glow and dance with sparks.

A second gold furred spider breaks cover from the trees above the first and races along beside the original. It is thinner and has less bulk than the other, but is a similar size.

Kerin [sblock] you drink from the fountain, and feel…. Nothing. Absolutely the same, perhaps less thirsty.
You hear the shout, and see at the first man-sized spider with gold fur, now dancing with sparks, rushing through the trees below you. If you head down, you can see the second as well. [/sblock]

Xaros 14+4 = 18 -2 range -4 cover =12. Damage 8

Lily looses an arrow toward the larger spider, retreats 20' away from the creature, and then turns and nocks another arrow. As comes closer to Rayburn's position, she says to him "Uh Rayburn? You know there's a puma or panther or something next to you, right?"

Rayburn give the cat a sidelong glance. "Er... yeah, I know."

He then takes another deep breath, pokes his head out from behind the cover, and fires off a magic missile from the wand at the thicker one.

OOC: Wand: 2d4+2

Xaros aims and shoots again at the advancing spider. "Wow, i've never seen a spider glow like that before." he remarks casually as he reloads his weapon.
 

Kerin is pondering the water and the clean taste when he hears the shout. "So much for the subtle approach." he says to Keef.

Kerin quickly saddles up and heads down the slope, lance out.
 

With the spider on the move it is a lot harder to hit, and both shots go wide, although the magic missiles strike true.
Lily you can only get 10’ back up the slope, but its far enough. The bounding larger spider dashes upslope to almost exactly where Lily was. The second spider takes a bad hop and slows. The jungle cat gives a warning growl, and she crouches ready to spring. Kerin begins riding slowly down the hill, getting the hang of the terrain.

The gold-furred spider seems to grow even bigger as it dashes toward Lily, closing the distance dangerously fast. She fires off another arrow at the creature, then throws her bow to the ground. She turns and runs just in front of her companions managing only to shout out, "KERIN! TWO BIG SPIDERS!"

The halfling draws her longspear as she moves, wanting to keep some distance from the creature. When she reaches Cait and Rayburn, she turns back toward the spider and plants the butt of her spear into the ground near her feat, the head of the weapon pointed straight at the oncoming spider.

"Wow. That's... very fast."

Rayburn unleashes a second volley of magic missiles at the big spider, then switches the wand to his off hand and draws his rapier.
