Need a map up at this point.

Elaine says "I see spider threads. It might have been a large spider."

Halloran needs to make a spot check?

and I really need to make and post the map.

I assume by spot check, you mean perception.

Perception:1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19

Wow, I might have actually seen something.

Yep

Everyone make perception checks

Perception check: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
and just in case
Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

Initiative 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18
Perception 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

perception
1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19
initiative
1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

waiting on perception and init from
Asok
Mikka
Silstaren

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

HELP!! SOMETHING"S GOT ME!!

Initiative:1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

Don't post any actions until I get the last two perception and init checks, as something else is also happening.

Perception: 1d20 ⇒ 15
Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Perception 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Silstaren spins his head toward Halloran and straightens up.

Initiative: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

Map

Everyone except Silstaren sees a spider that dragged Buckwell into it's hole.

Players win init.

Höd rushes to the hole shouting, "Hold on!"

His hand glows with a pale grey-blue light as he moves. At the entrance where Buckwell disappeared, Höd raises his shield and moves in. He touches Buckwell on the foot to bolster his defenses.

"The gods are with you my small friend. Fear not!"

Mikka shouts with glee and moves to slay the spider!

Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Crit confirm: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
If that confirms, damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

It's a trap door spider.

so someone needs to open the hole before you can do anything to The snatched characters or attacking the spiders

Left Buckwell and the spider on the map to know where Buckwell and the spider is.

Would someone be so kind as to open the door so we can slaughter this thing? Thanks!

Leaping down from his horse, Fast Dismount attempt DC 20 ride check 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19 Asok, with a look of alarm on his face, rushes to the spot where he saw the spider disappear. If he was successful in his fast dismount, he will try to pry open the spider's trapdoor. (If not, his whole turn will just be getting there)

Do we roll the damage?
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3
Fortitude save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14

Buckwell gasps in pain as the monster's mandibles close on his thigh. Digging his fingers into the ground he attempts to prevent the creature dragging him into it's lair, all to no avail.
Once in the darkness Buckwell faces his attacker and steels his resolve, drawing upon his power he unleashes a gout of flame enveloping the spider.
Cast Burning Hands
Cast Defensively: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
Damage: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (2, 2) + 2 = 6 DC:14 Reflex for half damage.

Bad perception roll ruins great initiative. Delaying until Sil knows what's going on.

Silstaren sees the party scattered about the clearing. "What's going on? Where's Halloran and Buckwell?

Elaine moves next to the spider trap door moving around the bush. double move

Fort save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17

On his turn Halloran will attack the spider with his staff.

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 151d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

everyone went so spider's turn

Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15 Hall
Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21 Buck
Damage+Poison: 1d6 ⇒ 1 Hall
Damage+Poison: 1d6 ⇒ 3 Buck

and buck igniting the webbing causes a quick flash fire.
Fire: 1d4 ⇒ 3 Spider
Fire: 1d4 ⇒ 3 Buck

Halloran takes 1 damage
Buckwell takes 6 damage

I need new fort saves from Buckwell and Halloran.

You remember that I cast Mage Armor on myself before the spider grabbed me right? That should bring my AC up to 16, so the spider would have missed with that 2nd attack.

On his turn Halloran will attack the spider with his staff, again.

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 81d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

And it looks like I missed too.

Grappled condition reduced your dex by 4, and thus put your ac at 14 so it hit.
So I need that fort save.
And can't use staff as it's a two-hand weapon, and grappled denies two handed weapons.

Ok, then.

Fort Save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

On his turn Halloran will draw a dagger and attack the spider.

Attack:1d20 ⇒ 201d4 ⇒ 2

Critical Conformation: 1d20 ⇒ 131d4 ⇒ 3

I don't know if that confirms, both characters in a grapple lose dexterity right? But I bet he felt that one!

How are we doing topside? Did Asok get the door open? What can we see?

Asok failed his fast dismount by 1, so the lids not open yet.

Asok desperately tries to pry the spider's trap door open, using all his might and growling something in Orcish.

you open it with ease

Hod discharges his spell on Buckwell, free action draws his axe, and swings.

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 for 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

So I'm grappled, was I grappled when I went to make that 1st attack with my staff? If I was I didn't do that 3 damage, by my count me and Buckwell have done at least 11 damage to this spider, 14 if that last attack confirmed. Is Buckwell grappled as well?

since I missed that grapple info with the first staff attack it stands,
you were grappled, and you smacked it before you dropped it

Oh, so there's more than one, that explains a few things and makes things much more dangerous.

Can I use my last round's rolls this round please?

I'll put that request to fate, if Higher complete Yes, if near middle just a hit
1d100 ⇒ 41
Just a regular hit from the last roll or you can roll again.

With the trapdoor open Elaine will full attack with her claws on the spider.claw 11d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12 damage 11d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 claw 2 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17[ooc]damage 2[/dice] 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Mikka dances in closer to the spider and attacks again!
Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

That looks like 3 hits and some impressive damage. We're probably going to need an updated map, to determine who's where and who's getting hit.

Asok, holding the trapdoor open, looks around for Halloran, "Wait, we're missing someone else!" he shouts, then tries to spot the location where the other spider's lair is.

Perception 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

Silstaren looks over the scene. With Asok's comment and the fact that Halloran and Buckwell are both missing he draws the obvious conclusion. He looks at the trapdoor Asok hold for clues to its construction and concealment, then looks for similar features in the area where Halloran stood.

Percepetion 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

If that spots it and he still has an action available, he'll try to open the door.

So there were not only two spiders? but two different lairs? Buckwell is in one and I'm in another? This just keeps getting better and better. Well played DM Azure Zero.

Not sure if there are two lairs or not. We haven't had a definitive description of the lair whose door Asok is holding open. Silstaren is just reacting to the "where's Halloran?" comment. For all I know there's just one lair and Halloran has been pulled deeper into it and out of sight.

The spider hole goes down a bit, but is only big enough for one spider, the walls are covered in webbing, and the lid is made of dried mud, and fine threads.

I forgot higher ground bonuses.

And on that note..

On his turn, Halloran makes another attack on the spider with his dagger.

1d20 ⇒ 11d4 ⇒ 1

Well, that sucked, how much damage has this spider done on Halloran? before you said 1d6, plus 1
