With Ush out of the fight, I think it's better if I Def up and try to drag her to the top of the stairs. It will die... eventually.
"Keep it busy! I'll get Ushari!"

Jayse's blade bounces off the spider's hardened black carapace.
The spider is pretty dumb but not mindless. So here's how I'm going to run this, I'll give him an INT/distraction check on his turn to see where his attention turns. He will prioritize most damage (greatest perceived threats) and last hits over easy victims - as a series of modifiers to the DC number. So the best way to increase your odds of ensuring the beastie comes after you is to hit it hard and/or hit it last. With that in mind, if you want to distract it from Jofram, Orin and Ushari the best bet is to have Strae delay until after Jofram/Orin... so his attack is 'remembered'.
Strae on delay! That was fun to say. :)
NEXT UP... Orin & Jofram
stormraven |
Oh, sure, tell me the rules of engagement AFTER I delcare my actions... grumble grumble.
Well since your declared action included the "distract'em!" idea, I couldn't very well state the rules before I knew I'd need to handle that contingency. I mean I'm good but I'm not that good! :p

stormraven |
Not entirely sure if sending a ray would draw an AoO, but pulling the potion would...
Orin's beam hits the spider and seems to weaken it slightly. As his attention is drawn to pulling a potion, the spider seizes on the lapse in concentration and plants a razor-sharp saw-tooth claw into the eye-socket and out the back of the skull... of one of Orin's two remaining images.

Just clarifying notes on a couple of points:
1. Jayse tied off the rope around his waist and threw the rest of the coil to Orin. Orin has not done anything with it, yet. I assume he's got it draped over an arm.
2. Jofram mentioned carrying Ushari up the stairs. That would be towards Jayse and would require crossing the slick webbed surface.
Jofram |
Jofram recovers quickly from the surprise of the words tumbling through his mind from the gauntlet. Still not used to that...
"The joints! It's weak at the joints!"

Can I get a reminder on what, exactly Target Enemies does? I can't find it in posts or PRD.
stormraven |
Target Enemies (linky!) - (1x Day for Level Rounds) Jofram can select a Creature Type as a Favored Enemy and all hits through the gauntlet receive ATT/DAM bonuses as if that creature type were his first Favored Enemy. The bonuses do not stack if the creature he fights actually IS a Favored Enemy – only the best modifier is used.
FYI - to cast defensively, I need a Concentration Check from you.
Jofram |
Concentration: 1d20 + 7 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 3 = 15 Wuh wuh wuuhhhh.....
Pssst... Jofram... I think the DM was just trying to remind you about yoru gauntlet's secret power of turning any opponent into a Favored Enemy. I don't believe the game allows for calling shots on a spider's joints.
Makes sense - It's hard not to be distracted with this whole "work" thing. Jeez, what a pain.
stormraven |
Yeesh! Well your spell fizzled BUT that doesn't mean you can't risk making the move. It will subject you to a potential AoO IF the Spider gets more than one AoO per round (as he already used an AoO on Orin). So, do you want to stay where you are, dare moving as a MOVE action (possible AoO), or do something else with the MOVE you have left?
Jofram |
AOO on a 5' step?
stormraven |
I believe you were casting Feather Step to overcome the problem of the stairs (difficult terrain = even a 5' step counts as a move action and draws an AoO) and Feather Step allows you to overcome difficult terrain penalty and lets you take a standard 5' step.
So you have 3 choices now that your spell is blown:
1. Do nothing.
2. Move any distance and risk a possible AoO.
3. Use your move action for something else.
Straehan |
Strae nods at the monk's request, even as he eyes the massive spider, looking for weaknesses. "I've read about these things... We have to hit it hard and keep it up, or it will quickly heal. Also..."
SHADOW SPIDER
AC: Good (save its Touch AC)
HP: Very Good
Best Save: Fort
Worst Save: Will
Strengths:
- Attacks with four claws and a paralytic poisonous bite
- Fast Healing
- Several Combat Feats
- Can spray Slick Silk (powerful Grease spell)
- Can Shadow Walk at will
- Multiple senses used to hunt (i.e. blinding it won't work)
The Shadow Spider, once it has latched onto its prey tends to vanish into its pocket dimension to dine. Venturing into its pocket dimension is hazardous, for if the Spider is killed, its pocket begins to collapse. In relatively short order it vanishes and anyone inside it is ejected into either the Prime Material or the Plane of Shadow.
The gnome casts a spell and two rays of flame rake across the carapace of the massive spider, cooking it slightly and earning a small squeal from the creature as it turns and lays its baleful black gaze on the figures at the top of the stairs. Straehan takes an subconscious step back as he leans towards the monk, "Definitely not a fan of fire. Like it or not, I think that got its attention."

Jofram |
Sorry, I'm a bit confused about the situation. I thought that:
- 1) Concentration Check only came into play if I took damage, or something else happened to distract me from casting.
2) Difficult Terrain was only on the spider webbed squares.
I'm happy to move forward as-is; I'm just not completely understanding how things are playing out.
Villainous Vermin |
Stairs are generally considered 'difficult terrain' so there are no 5' steps possible.
The webbed stairs are both difficult (being stairs) and require a Reflex save because they are 'greased'.
The Spider never wavers in its decision. It sprints along and up the wall, cresting the stairwell and lashing out at the sorcerer and monk with fangs and slashing claws. Weakened by Orin's spell, only a single claw slashes across Jayse's brow. Straehan is pierced by the beast's fangs.
EDIT - Jofram and Orin may take AoOs on the running spider.
Also, while the spider attacks Jayse/Strae, it is approximately 25' from Jofram/Orin/Ushari. Unfortunately, my graphic is not 3D.

"Nice, Strae! Hit him again, I'll see if I can level the playing field. Be nice if we could draw him up here." He takes a step backwards, unstoppering and shooting one of the potions in his hand.
As he doubles in size (now occupying U/V 63/64) he pockets the second potion, freeing his hands for the fight. "ORIN!" he shouts over the noise of the fight, "DON'T SUPPOSE YOU HAVE ANOTHER WEAKENING SPELL TO HIT IT WITH?"

A creature that is glued to the floor (or unable to fly) can break free by making a DC 17 Strength check or by dealing 15 points of damage to the goo with a slashing weapon. A creature trying to scrape goo off itself, or another creature assisting, does not need to make an attack roll; hitting the goo is automatic, after which the creature that hit makes a damage roll to see how much of the goo was scraped off. Once free, the creature can move (including flying) at half speed. If the entangled creature attempts to cast a spell, it must make concentration check with a DC of 15 + the spell's level or be unable to cast the spell. The goo becomes brittle and fragile after 2d4 rounds, cracking apart and losing its effectiveness. An application of universal solvent to a stuck creature dissolves the alchemical goo immediately.

Orin's hair snaps on a joint of the spider's leg while Jofram's sword bounces off its thrice-damned hide as the spider scuttles towards its victims at the upper landing.
Orin watches the creature closely but can discern no special ways to attack it. (Kirin fail) Seeing no better option, he hurls a tanglefoot bag which splashes across the creature's bulbous end and instantly hardens. Unfortunately, it doesn't slow the beast. (Apparently Tanglefoot doesn't work on creatures of Huge size or larger - and the spider is Huge. Sorry.) Hoping to turn this frustrating situation to his advantage, the witch slugs down a potion.
Meanwhile, Jofram's sword vanishes and his mystic bow springs into his hand. The ranger takes careful aim and fires an arrow into the back of the spider's head. The beast twitches at the wound. Jofram looses a second arrow toward the same spot, but it catches in the hardening tanglefoot goo and fails to find its mark.
Straehan |
Fortunately, the gnome's long hours of practice casting in combat conditions pay off. Even in the shadow of the Spider's claws, his spell goes off. Two more firey beams lace across the creature's head, eliciting a hiss. With less skill, the gnome tumbles backwards away from the 8-limbed death dealer. Even his passable acrobatic feat isn't nearly good enough as fangs pierce his back mid-flip - bringing pain and poison. Again, Strae's body rallies to resist the numbing effects of the paralytic venom.

Jayse steps back and slugs down a potion while putting another one away. He grows to a size that nearly fills the corridor. The Spider pulls away from the now sizable victim, its front legs probing the air as if testing this new threat. Thoughts of the pain-bringing gnome retreat before this new larger enemy. It lunges at the monk...
Next Up... Round 3: Arachnaphobia!
Villainous Vermin |
Jayse takes the full fury of the massive Spider. Fangs snap inches from his face as the monk backfists the ravening jaws away. He steps into the creature avoiding one claw while using a vertical armbar to block another. But the lower set of claws, well concealed in the shadowy stairwell, are his undoing. They sweep in sideways, like scythes, and pincer him through the abdomen on both sides. Blood explodes from his mouth. It's like being caught on meathooks. The pain is indescribable. Worse, the spider seems poised to drive the spike-like legs deeper into his body.
Jayse and the Spider are grappled.
If you don't break the grapple this round, and the Spider is able to maintain it on its next round, both claws will automatically hit.

Jayse |
The rope is tied around Jayse's waist. So if you're not holding it, it's probably dangling down.
Thoughts, fears, and tactics whirl frantically at the edges of the Calm -- embers around a raging inferno. A few things are unmistakably obvious, though. The team needs time. Jayse won't' survive many more attacks like that. And this creature needs to understand they are no easy meal.
Ignoring the pain and the fact that he's dangling -- suspended by spear-like legs skewering his body -- Jayse shouts a wordless cry of desperation. His over-sized sword arm pulls back three times, slamming the blade home like some tattooed battering ram into the exposed underside of the obscenely large spider.

Guys, we may be at the tipping point. It's either all-in or all out. I say we try to burn this thing down, and do it quickly. My vote is we put everything we have into doing as much damage as we possibly can in one round. If we survive, we can call it a day. Jayse just isnt' likely to survive another round.

You still hold one end of the rope. Jayse has the other end tied around his waist.
EDIT - in the spirit of 'All Out', Orin and Jofram might consider delaying for Strae to cast Haste - which will give everyone another attack. Up to you.

The situation is grim so the gnome pulls out all the stops. In a flurry of action he casts a spell to Haste his companions before working another spell. Unfortunately the thrashing of the Spider as it yanks the monk around makes the shot difficult. Only one beam of fire rakes across the beast.
Anyone who goes after Strae or delays gets the bennies of Haste. Jayse, you get an extra attack.

The monk's first blow, cracks across the Spider's head and smashes in a half dozen eyes. Focusing on the wound, Jayse drives his blade into the skull of the beast and twists, hearing the carapace crack. The beast thrashes and slashes spraying black blood and poison all about it...
Jayse can't say if these are death throes or if the creature will tear him apart in mere moments. He looks at the stairway, and sees the ranger taking aim...

Was it the bane arrow, the ranger's arrows, the flames, or the mystical blue blade buried in the Spider's skull that wrought the foul creature's doom? None can say but die the creature certainly does.
The massive black form thrashes briefly - blasting a rattling hiss - and then its claws tear from the monk's sides as it slides backwards into the wide dark well at the heart of the second stair, its long legs brushing the walls as it tumbles into the abyss. Some 80' feet below, the bloated beast crashes to a halt - suspended by a dark web of its own creation. Yet another snare for its victims. But the weight is too much. Webbing snaps and stones pull loose from the wall. With a dull roar, the dead spider, its web, and hundreds of pounds of rock rattle down the chute. The echoing crashing fades quickly... They never hit a bottom that you can hear.
COMBAT OVER
Ushari Velnokal |
Ushari feels the paralysis fade and then she calls out weakly, "Medic! Oh wait..." She heads carefully over to the landing where Jayse waits patiently for her healing touch.
She first channels energy to heal her companions:
Channel x2 4d6 + 4d6 ⇒ (3, 2, 2, 2) + (5, 6, 3, 1) = 24
She then breaks out her wand...
1d8 + 1 + 44 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 44 = 51
1d8 + 1 + 51 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 51 = 53
1d8 + 1 + 53 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 53 = 59
1d8 + 1 + 59 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 59 = 61
1d8 + 1 + 61 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 61 = 64
1d8 + 1 + 64 ⇒ (7) + 1 + 64 = 72
Jayse is at full HP.
1d8 + 1 + 67 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 67 = 71
1d8 + 1 + 71 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 71 = 78
Jofram is at 78 HP. The others should be at full HP due to her channels.
