[Dekana]

Lily sees Cait struggling with the web, and decides it would be prudent to place a spell of protection on her until she is free. The Halfling strides over to the over-sized cat and lays a hand on her web-covered fur. "May Yondalla guard you from harm!"

[Fenris]

Kerin struggles with the webbing and tries to drop his lance and draw his sword to cut the webbing off of him.

 

[knight_isa]

Rayburn pauses for a moment, then decides that he'd rather burn another charge than get webbed. He fires off another magic missile volley at the remaining large spider.

Wand (45) 2d4+2

 

[WarShrike]

Xaros, cursing the trees, attepts to shoot the spider once again, then reloads.

 

[Evilhalfling]

Kerin, you drop your lance but it gets tangled in the web and sticks to the side of your horse. In your struggle to free your sword you manage to free yourself as well.
Your warhorse tries to bite the spider that bit it without success.

Reyburn your missiles slam into the second spider, but it is the last bolt from Xaros that sends it crashing to the ground.

The four fist-sized golden spiders continue to swam on horse an rider, but they are less successful at finding any tender areas to bite.

Lily as you touch her, Cait seems to fly into a frenzy and breaks free of the web. She dashes off to vanish in the forest, although she was headed in the direction of home.

OOC:
Kerin burst check 14+2= 16 ; Horse 5+6=11
Reyburn 6 damage
Xaros 14+4-2=16, 9 damage.
itty bitty spiders best attack 16.

spider1 dead ; spider2@-30hp, dead.
Cait on sabbatical may return in a month, see OOC thread.
You have all heard of large spiders before, but the light effects were never mentioned.

 

[Dekana]

Lily jumps back in surprise at the suddenly-vicious jaguar. Oops, did I cast the wrong spell? After gathering her wits, she moves to assist Kerin in dispatching the smaller spiders.


OOC: If she gets in range of Kerin, she'll try smashing the spiders with her mace - that is, if she can do so without also hitting Kerin or his horse. If she can't, she'll try knocking them to the ground first.
Heavy Mace: d20+2, d6+1, 20x2.
(if needed?) Grapple: -2
Magic Weapon-bow (15 rounds).

 

[knight_isa]

Rayburn lets out a sigh of relief and whispers to the wand, "I'll miss you when you're gone." Then he aims and fires the wand again, this time targeting two of the smaller spiders.

Wand (44) vs 2 spiders, 1d4+1 per spider

 

[WarShrike]

Having little that could aid Kerin, Xaros moves cautiously towards the webbed area.

 

[Evilhalfling]

The magic missiles kill two of the small spiders. Kerin’s warhorse manages to catch a third between his teeth, crunching its small body into paste. The remaining spider tries one last bite then flees – to be swatted neatly out of the air by Kerin’s sword.

You all stand and catch your breath for a moment. The adrenaline ebbs away, leaving you tired and more aware of minor bruises and strains.
Xaros you can see the most recent cocoon hanging from a tree it is nearly 2’ long.
You also notice several other cocoons in the tree branches, you think the largest is big enough to contain a human, it also look dirtier, and older than the others. It still lies some distance away.

Keef is out of sight, but you can see horse-like shapes near the fountain, Cait has vanished, and Xaros is moving towards the cluster of cocoons. The slope where the spiders started seems more level than where you stand now.

OOC:
MM: 4 damage each.
Horse: bite 12+6=18, 5 damage.
Kerin. 9+4=13 and AoO nat 20, unconfirmed. 7 damage.
Spider Attack: AC 8
Kerin -1hp, Horse-1hp
Reyburn, Zaset miscalculated your Kn Arcane, skill focus provides +5

 

[knight_isa]

Rayburn puts away the wand and sheathes his rapier. He stares off in the direction that Cait ran. Still watching the tree line, he asks, "So Lily, did Cait happen to tell you when she'd be back?"

OOC: Rayburn's skills question
