We be Goblins! - IC

[Kaodi]

Stumpbiter is only too happy to lead from the front, though if Chuffy wants to be in front and scout that is fine with him.

 

[kinem]

After about half an hour of grueling travel through the marsh, following the south bank of the creek, the goblins are passing through a wooded area along the creek.

Stumpbiter, in the lead, suddenly finds himself caught in a web, like a giant spider web!

The giant spider herself - larger than a goblin - descends from the treetops and bites the unfortunate goblin before he can react. Besides the wound, he feels a burning sensation and his strength slipping away!

ooc: 4 damage (Stumpbiter hp 10/14) + 2 strength damage

The spider tries to bite 'Biter again, but misses this time.

Stumpbiter gets really mad as he pulls out the Gorge of Gluttons and attempts to slice the icky spider with it.

 

[Krug]

"Burn Spider!" Poog shouts. He does a whirring motion with his hands and unleashes a fire bolt upon the spider. He doesn't seem concerned about hitting Stumpbiter though.

[sblock=ooc]Stumpy is raging, I take it. BTW, he's entangled, which gives him -2 to hit.

With the +1 dogslicer, he'd normally attack at +3 for 1d4+2 (crit 19/x2).

Entangled, raging, and at -2 str, it's attack +2 (1d4+3, 19/x2).

He doesn't currently get the +1 to hit from Foolhardiness because Poog is right behind him.[/sblock]
Stumpbiter's chop narrowly misses the giant spider.

Poog's fire bolt sails off into the treetops.

 

[Kaodi]

[sblock=OOC]Under ordinary circumstance it would be +4: +1 BAB, +1 Str, +1 Enhancement, +1 Size. When raging, it would be +6, but since he is poisoned and entangled it is +3. I put in +5 because I was not sure if the webs were actually giving him the entangled condition.[/sblock]

 

[Rhun]

Mogmurch cackles and pulls a round bomb from his pouch. "Look out!" he yells, and he hurls the explosive at the spider, laughing all the while. "Spider go BOOM!"

 

[kinem]

[sblock=ooc]Right Kaodi, I forgot about the size bonus. Goblins are sneaky little buggers ... [/sblock]
Mogmurh's fiery bomb does wound the giant spider, though the burst of flame singes Stumpbiter as well (3 damage). On the plus side, the flames burn away the web that was holding Stumpbiter.

ooc: Chuffy to act

 

[kinem]

"Take this, Lotslegs!!!!" Chuffy says as he throws his dart at the giant spider. It misses. "No, wait! Give it back!!!"

The spider tries to bite Stumpbiter again, but misses.

[Krug]

Poog snarls, tries to flank the spider by going around (if possible) and once again casts a firebolt at the spider. He looks at Stumpbiter and thinks he can still fight on..

"Fear my fire!" he screams...

The firebolt utterly misses once again, but lights up a branch behind the spider. Poog screams in frustration. Dogfinder shakes its head, and shoots its tongue out at a fly in front of him with great accuracy, not seeming to care about the battle raging around it.
