No hurry. Just when you are ready to continue forward.
Please look at "Crow Map" the party is at the yellow star.
You are at B25 and you have a choice of where to go next. Remember let me know if you want to Sneak ahead or check for traps.
few larger bodies. The ground is a thick, sticky sheet of webbing. A narrow tunnel exits the chamber to the north, (how you enter this room)
while to the southwest, the room opens into a forty-foot diameter silo-like chamber from which the sound of sloshing water can be heard. The floor o f this room lies 10 feet above sea level, as evidenced by the churning water in the silo-shaped cistern to the southwest. This room serves as a feeding ground and den for water spiders. Among bodies of various fish left here by the spiders are a few jigsaw sharks and a hapless, long-dead fisherman. The webbing on the floor here makes the
entire room function as difficult terrain. The cistern has a ceiling that's 30 feet above sea level. An alcove in the south wall contains several old lead pipes that once siphoned sewage and waste from other rooms above into this cistern. The cistern is 30 feet deep. You encounter a pair of giant water spiders feeding on a freshly killed dolphin in this room. Giant water spiders are similar in most ways to typical giant spiders , but they have a swim speed of 20 feet. These particular spiders are black with crimson markings on their backs. When they dive beneath the water, the hairs on their bodies cover their abdomens with hundreds of bubbles that allow them to breathe while underwater for up to 8 hours.
B3o. This featureless room is empty of all save a single miserable mite on guard duty. It is suffering from a cold and has been banished by its fellows to guard this entrance because of its excessive sneezing. It sits on the sixth step down, watching the entrance back to the lower
chambers longingly. As soon as anyone enters, it shrieks in fear and tries to run downstairs.
Yorn you are not noticed not do you find any traps.
"Smell anything, girl?" Mark asks Maggie. She sniffs the air curiously.
Yorn their is really not anything here other than the spiders.
Yorn you sneak into the room but the bat swarm notices you and rushes out to fight you off for entering there area.
Yorn you are overwhelmed by Diminutive bats and they bite you for You lash out at the bats with you axe but it does not good. {immune weapon damage}
You are also affected by
Wounding (Ex) Any living
creature damaged by a bat
swarm continues to bleed,
losing 1 hit point per round
thereafter. Multiple wounds
do not result in cumulative
bleeding loss. The bleeding
can be stopped by a DC
10 Heal check or the
application of a cure spell or
some other healing magic.
Is there a door leading to B27 that I could close after Yorn escapes? If so that's what Mark will do - he knows well enough it's hard to hit a bat colony with a greataxe.
There is no door to close. You have the steps you just came up or there are some more steps leading down that you have not been down yet.
Mark turns, shouts "Run!" and begins to run down the stairs that heven't been explored yet, Maggie on his heels.
Nalun pulls out his scroll of Scorching Ray and fires a ray of fire at the approaching swarm.
As Mark turns to run Nalun's spell burns almost all (If not all) of the bats leaving a charred smell.
"Run! Run for your lives! Run...oh."
Nalun beams at Yorn
No problem buddy! Say, you seem to be bleeding/
"Mmm. Your magic's more...tingly-feeling than Kierra's was. Weird..." Mark trails off, looking wistful. Then he smiles at Lanna. "Shall we continue on?"
Maps updated your at B30 now.
Yorn Scouts and returns with this information.
This wide catacomb chamber has rows of burial niches cut into the stone walls. These have all been stripped bare of any former occupants. Half a dozen ten-foot-high mounds of dirt and debris dominate the floor of the chamber, reaching nearly to the ceiling fifteen feet above.
The burial niches on the walls are stacked four high, and each is 2 feet deep and 2 feet high.
Yorn also reports seeing Giant Ants crawling around the mounds he only saw 2 but there is probably more...
"How big?" Mark would definitely want to know.
"But...the ants...how big?" Mark calls out, keeping his voice as quiet as possible as he calls after Yorn's retreating back.
Hmmm, Giant Ants, interesting.
The ants are as big as Ponies.
Nalun you remember
Yorn you could about go put a saddle on one with that stealth check. What are you doing?
Mark, they are really big....and they are poisonous.
Nalun says, proud of his knowledge!
"Giant ants. Why'd it have to be giant ants..." Mark mutters, darkly. He and Maggie will cautiously descend the stairs.
Maggie's stomach growls as they descend the stairs. Mark freezes and winces, listening for any signs that the ants heard them.
Mark you sneak to the shadows but Maggie can not suppress a growl and the ants see her.
Start Combat. Map up.
Please put yourself where you think you would be.
Yorn you can Go anywhere you want.

Yorn Steps out of the shadows and nearly kills the first ant with one blow! It slumps to the ground barely able to move (0 HP)
The other ants let out a chittering sound.
Nalun finishes off the downed ant with a blast from his almost used up wand of missiles.
JAMESPATTERSON! he cries as his command word and a beam of light smacks the ant for damage.

Mark can't supress a grin at the thought of squishing these giant, gross bugs. Mark hates bugs.
Maggie's growl turns into a yowl! As she ferociously pounces on the same ant her master attacked (assuming it still lives.)
*edit* Oh, that ant's dead now...
Maggie attacks the next nearest ant instead! ^_^
You are correct Mark Chops the black ant in two.
