Making sure the trapped zone is now secure, Voyla looks at the door.

It doesn't seem trapped, and looks like any other door in this level. It isn't locked either, just shut.

The only thing she notices is that the door is partially broken at the ground level.

But it's not as if there was a carpenter around, doing regular rounds...

Voyla drops to the ground, and tries to peek below the door.
Perception Check: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8 (+4 if hidden)

"Hey...is the door broken?" Joza asks as she notices Voyla suddenly flattening herself down on the ground in front of the door. "Or is this some sort of new trap-finding technique?"

"Traps underneath the floor? Ooooh. Tricky!"

Rahiv stared at the spider a bit longer curious to see if it would disappear before giving it a few more pokes with a bolt. He shook his head and looked up when the others began discussing Voyla's actions.

He tilted his head and stood up carefully, dusting off his pants "I've seen hunters in the past try to listen for the footfalls of prey, perhaps that is what she is doing." he said to them quietly.

Voyla sees nothing.. It seems dusty and dark. With webs.

Nothing really unusual here.

"I was trying to see inside. Let's go."
She open the door cautiously.

"Sounds like a plan then," Joza nods as she raises her bow and prepares to cover Voyla and the others up front if need be.

Rahiv slips the bolt into his crossbow and raises it ready to fire should he see anything undead or dangerous as he makes his way up to the door and nods at Voyla.

She warns them, of course.
A small cry comes out of Voyla's lips, as she points out at the hidden spiders.

"Where are they?" Zinli whispered.

"I'm getting tired of spiders," Joza sighs softly. "Once we're ready, point them out and Zinli and I can start shooting. With some luck we can deal them a nasty blow before they get close enough to start biting!"

Init, Davlamin: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 + 2 = 14
Init, Warren: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 1 + 2 = 20
Init, Joza: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 + 2 = 15
Init, Rahiv: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 2 = 13
Init, Voyla: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 2 = 8
Init, Zinli: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 3 + 2 = 20

Init, Spider: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Everyone can act before the spiders, using their FF AC (12) on the first round!

Voyla let's an arrow fly at the farest of the two spiders.
Shortbow Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
Damage (+sneak attack): 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + (1) = 4

"Swiftly, before they can approach!" Joza cries as she too looses an arrow at one of the lurking spiders.

Attack (Longbow): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 2

;_;

Pew: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
Crit Pew?: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
Bolt to the eye: 2d8 ⇒ (8, 3) = 11

Rahiv took a quick knee and fired the bolt straight into one of the spider's eyes.

Warren moves into the room and starts hacking the spiders. "Not this time you don't!"

Scimitar: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23 Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Scimitar Crit Confirm: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23 Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Zinli followed her friends, and aimed for a spider:

"Hasta la vista!"

Attack: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 1 = 8
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Click CLANK.

"Noooo, it broke! How dare you ruin my punchline you silly gun!"

Gmbotting Dav

Davlamin joins the shooting party by sending a magical missile on the nearest spider

MagMiss: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Voyla'arrow hits, unlike Joza.

Rahiv manages to strike a spider deep into its enormous, bulbous eye, and Warren hack and slash at the legs of the other spider, the one already hit by Davlamin's magic

poor Zinli, speaking in unknown tongues, can't use her own weapon... something seems wrong.

New round, everyone but Voyla (init back to 6) can act

"Grr...these creatures should not be this difficult to skewer with an arrow," Joza growls as she takes aim and fires at a spider once again.

Attack (Longbow): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 3

"Augh! I knew I should have practiced harder with the bow!"

"Hey, I've just failed my shot and manage to break my weapon! Come on, baby, don't do this to mommy now."

Spends a grit point to fix it with a standard action.

Warren attacks the spider again. "Come on! Die you!" but doesn't seem to have much luck.

Scimitar: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11 Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Rahiv grumbles as he does his work to reload the crossbow. "Why in Gozreh's name does it have to be vermin."

Will wait Davalamin post, as he said he will post tomorrow

"I don't know but I'm sick of spiders! Did I mention how I hate spiders! I probably should have said that I loathe them!"

With that said, the sorcerer hurled a magic missile at the spider!

Magic Missile: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Davlamin's magical missile hits a spider, without killing it, and both creatures are able to mount their first, if desperate, attacking Warren

Spider a or b?: 1d2 ⇒ 1

Spider A: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
dmg: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Spider B: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
dmg: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Warren must roll a Dc 15 Fort save vs poison or lose 1d3 ⇒ 2 STR

"You rotten hairy bug! You'll pay for that!"

Fort Save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

Voyla looks alarmed at the spiders attacking Warren.
"Get away from him!"
Voyla fires away at the B spider.
Shortbow Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Rahiv grumbled a bit as he tried to get an angle. It was awkward to try to apply any capability at hunting to something as crowded and aggressive as real combat.

Pew: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 - 4 = 11

Damage if hit: 1d8 ⇒ 8

I assume that neither spider was out of melee combat unless Warren was polite enough to reposition so that one was outside of such for a brief window. If so, ignore the -4

"We've got you covered, Warren!" Joza calls as she raises her bow yet again and fires a shot at one of the spiders.

Attack (Longbow; Into Melee, PB Shot): 1d20 + 4 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 + 1 - 4 = 17
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Need Zinli's action, so far only Joza hits

"Oh jeez, there are quite a lot of them!"

Zinli moved forward, and aimed for a spider with her deadly weapon.

On the red one

Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Zinli's shot the spider, which falls on the ground, its multiple legs twitching

Sowwy Warren, just noticed that you made your save, but didn't act yet. Shoulda told ya.

"Well done team!"
Voyla checks the place for loot and traps.
Perception Check: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26 (+4 if hidden)

There is still another spider, Voyla.^^

Talking about celebrating too soon! Who's missing to act?

As I said, Warren hasn't attacked yet, just fend off some poison

Warren attacks the remaining spider. "I'll make you pay for that one biting me!"

Scimitar: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12 Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Sorry, for some reason I didn't realize you were waiting on me.

Warren misses the spider, who tries to bit him again, in a last ditch offense

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
Dmg: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

The paladin's armor is tough, but the spiders mandibles manage to pierce the steel, and the skin below!

@Warren: I need another Fort save.
@All: first one to hit kill the spider (2 HP left!)

"Great Dawnflower heal these wounds and help me vanquish this foe" Warren calls out as he heals some of his wounds and attacks the creature.

Fort Save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16
Scimitar: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23 Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Scimitar Crit Confirm: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7 Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

LoH: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Warren puts an end to the spider's misery. Voyla lose no time and starts exploring the room, trying to spot traps and /or valuables.

All she finds, once the numerous webs are taken care of, is a big pit with a metallic ladder, in the center of the room.

"Somebody has a light we can drop out in here?"

"Not really, but I can make some."

A few glowing blue spheres appeared around Zinli, and started to slowly go down the pit.

Create Dancing Lights

"Actually I can help with that as well," the sorcerer said as he conjured a spell of light.

A halo of light appeared above his head.

"Hey, look at this, I'm an angel," he joked.

Rahiv stopped and stared at Dav in curiosity. He tilted his head and scratched his chin.

Bluff: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

He tries to keep a straight face and deadpan as he says "Hmm...curious, I had heard of celestials visiting the planes but I always heard they looked more human. Did you like elves, is that why you chose this appearance?"

You see better now. There is a ladder, going down some 20 feet. Maybe-probably?- this is an access to the next level of the Spire?

Voyla looks at the others, and as quietly as possible gets into the stair to get down.
Stealth Check: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

"Before we head down further I think we should check all of the rooms on this floor. There a a few doors we haven't gone through, like that one." Warren says as he points to the other door in the room.

Voyla nods at Warren, and refrains to go down the stairs.
"Which way now?"
