Giant spider reflex save
The spider deftly avoids the weaving and tangling weeds and advances on the wolf.
Melee bite +2 (1d6 plus poison)
Hissing and clicking, it attempts to sink its fangs into the fur.
Kajetan retrieves another scroll from his back pack and starts another full round spell cast.
Alton gladly complies with Nicolais request, dropping the pile of lumber he had gathered and jumping onto the disk next to his friend. He pulls out his dagger, hopping he wont have to use it.
Nicholai wobbles a moment when Alton jumps up, even though the disk remains magically steady beneath his feet. He sets his mouth in a thin line, and raises one hand up, slowly,...
There is a circular brick wall about two feet high surrounding the well, with a rim two bricks wide – about 8 and a half inches. There is a rope and a sturdy wooden bucket. The moonlight reflects off water some way down, but you can’t tell how deep it might be.
The grasping weeds and grasses fail to find purchase on the spider’s spindly legs. It scuttles forward to bite the wolf as the beast howls, but its fangs appear not to find purchase in the wolf’s hide.
Nicholai wobbles a moment when Alton jumps up, even though the disk remains magically steady beneath his feet. He sets his mouth in a thin line, and raises one hand up, slowly,...
Keildrithe stands his ground on the well ledge, awkwardly and nervously waving the silver knife in one hand, the sprig of dead wolfsbane in the other.
After casting the spell, Laithe circles down towards Kajetan's position. to try and get closer to his companions. He still can't see the wolf properly through the darkness and the distance, but judging from the reaction from his friends he guesses it is big, and starts to doubt whether his entangling vines will have any affect on it.
When he see's Keildrithe take up position at the well, he transforms into wolf form and moves closer, but staying in cover of a nearby bush, hoping to stay hidden but close enough to aid his kinsman if he is the one the wolf heads for.
Alton jumps at the wall from the elevated height of the disc, scrambling for a purchase to climb to the roof.
Nicholai looks back, trying to see where the wolf is now. When he looks back, the nimble Alton is already on top of the roof.
"Good idea. I think I'll join you!" Nicholai says wryly, and tries his best to follow the rogue's example,...
"Um,... a little help here?!?" Nicholai hisses fervently as he realizes that the roof is much more slippery than he realized,...
Keildrithe jumps up onto the rim of the well, but has trouble balancing on the narrow surface
The great wolf growls low in its throat, then lunges at the oversized spider through the doorway, its jaws open wide.
It's sharp teeth tear a huge chunk out of the spider's cephalothorax. It worries at the wound, but is unable to trip the many-legged menace.
Having fallen back off the ledge of the well, and determined not to drop the silver knife or the wolfsbane, Keildrithe tries again to clamber onto--and keep his balance--on the ledge on the side of the well that is furthest away from the cabin. He trembles as he hears the wolfman savage the equally frightful spider that materialized out of thin air but a moment ago..
"Laithe, to me," he calls out. "Together, perhaps we might be able to lure and push it into the well, then keep it trapped down there until it turns human again?"
Trying the second time, Keildrithe is able to easily hop up and balance on the edge of the well.
At Keildrithe's call, Laithe-Wolf creeps forward a little more, remaining in cover of the bush but with a clear line on the well ahead of him. He crouches low to the ground, ready to charge if the wolfman approaches his Karand brother.
The giant spider's mandibles clack angrily, yet fail to pierce the lycanthrope's flesh.
Yet soon, a swarm of coin-sized spiders emerge from the grass and start to crawl towards the werewolf.
Kaj crouches low in the wolfsbane patch, trying to maintain his concentration and willing the swarm--which seems to have a 'mind' of its own--to prey on the werewolf.
Hearing the roar of the (likely enraged) beast, Nicholai glances towards the front of the cabin.
"Don't sit there! Run!" he hisses fervently.
Kajetan completes his spell, and hundreds of tiny brown spiders begin boiling up out of the grass. Despite Kajetan mentally willing them towards the wolf, the spiders begin heading towards the nearest sheep, bleating with terror as it is held fast by the entangling weeds.
Alton and Nicolai clamber from the floating disk up onto the timber shingled roof of the cottage. The wolf – still trapped within by the spider – raises its head to the roof above it momentarily, then continues to focus its attention on its eight legged captor, once again lunging through the open doorway at the arachnid.
The massive wolf tears through the spider's carapace. The giant arachnid drops to the ground, then vanishes as the magic tying it to this place is severed.
Nicholai's eyes go wide as he sees the jaws emerge from the doorway and tear the spider in half. He opens his mouth to say something clever, but settles for a loud gulp instead.

You could pretty easily tear up one of the timber shingles on the roof to make a hole.
Like Nicolai, Keildrithe swallows hard but stands his ground on the edge of the well that is furthest from the cabin (i.e., so that the well itself lies between Keildrithe and the cabin). He continues to hold the silver knife in one hand, and the sprig of dead wolfsbane in the other.
"Behind me, Laithe, behind me," says the bard softly, a tremor in his voice.
Seeing Nicolai searching for a gap in the roof Alton, feeling somewhat helpless at the moment, grasps one of the old shingles on the roof and tears it free.
Removing a shingle is a move action, so you can do something else too if you want.
Alton moves towards the edge of the roof, looking over the scene, shingle and longtooth dagger in hand.
Nicholai takes the shingle from Alton, casts a Light Charm on it, and drops it into the hole Alton made by tearing it up. He makes a gesture of silence to the shorter man, then peeks into the hole to see what the wolf is doing,...
Kajetan continues concentrating on the swarm, cursing himself for summoning it in no mans land. He takes a slow cautious move towards the well, hoping to add himself to the bait list.
