Hadric flicks the spider between its eyes with his finger. It stops struggling and goes limp. Let's see if this little beastie can swim! He walks over to the edge of the ship and drops the spider in the water. Doesn't look like it!
Allyph follows her dancing lights into upper cabin. The air is thick and musty. Thick sheets of cobwebs hang from the walls and mounds of blankets, cushions, and
straw clutter the floor. A narrow flight of stairs leads down to into the ship’s hold. Light from multiple torches flickers up the stairs.
Fane hears creaking above him. Light spills into the hold from stairs above. A soft scratching sound comes from behind one of the crates to his right.
Roll initiative for the next encounter.

"Guys, follow", Allyph whispers to the others, and motions in the direction of the stairs.
She leaves one of her dancing lights in the upper cabin and lets the other lights float down to the lower cabin. Allyph follows after her lights, descending the stairs with careful steps. As she descends the stairs she takes one of her daggers from her coat.
Cardon follows Allyph down the stairs.
Initiative:
Right behind you miss. Having disposed of the spider, Hadric picks up his axe and follows Allyph and Cardon down the stairs.
Don't just stand there, Hadric motions for Tolen to follow.
As Allyph walks down the steps, crawling shapes dart out of the shadows towards her. More spiders!
She stabs at one with her dagger, but they are too fast for her. One of them bites her in the ankle but she doesn't feel the sting of poison (this time).
Two more attack Fane. He also misses with his rapier and one of them bites his calf.

5 Cardon AC 11 T 11 FF 10 CMD 10 F +2 R +1 W +5 hp 8 (1 non-lethal)
Eran tries to shoot one of the spiders attacking Fane with a ray of frost.
Allyph freezes for a second as the spiders attack her.
Nooo! Not again!
Dropping her dagger, Allyph bends over and tries to grab hold of the spider that bit her.
Come on, I can do this!
When Allyph touches the spider she pulls back her hand in disgust. "Eeewwwwww!"
Fane is startled for a moment as the spiders attack, but quickly regains his composer. He quickly stabs at he one on his right with his rapier.
If I do get flanking ...
Tolen moves near Hadric, but since everyone is bunched up at the stairs, he has nowhere to go.
Cardon also waits his turn to descend.
After pulling back her hand in disgust, Allyph notices she's blocking the stairs. She tries to move away from her position so they can descend.
Fane strikes at the spider between him and Eran, just missing it with the blade of his rapier.
As Allyph moves out of the stairwell to make room for the others, one of the spiders bites her in the ankle again.
Allyph's Turn
Allyph provokes an attack of opportunity when she tries to grapple the spider.
The spider misses.
She also provokes an attack of opportunity when she moves out of her space.
The spider hits for 1 non-lethal damage.
Sucess!
Fane's Turn
Fane does get flanking but he still misses. He needs to get 21 to hit the tiny spider.
Eran again tries to shoot the spiders on Fane.
Cardon moves close enough so that his light can help everybody, and otherwise delays.
Ah, I finally got a chance to look at the map. The Lower Map keeps making me have to actually download it to look at it, which I can't do at work. Cardon can get close enough to Allyph to help.
Grapple check on one of the spiders on Allyph:
He grabs it by the body and prepares it to pull it off her.
"It nearly ate me!" Allyph's obviously terrified by the wee spiders.
Tolen moves down into the hold. He looks around at the dangers down here but doesn't see anything, however he hears a fight going on outside the confines of the ship. Hustling over there, he sees Fane with spiders crawling on him. Tolen deftly tries to hit a spider.
Allyph attempts to grab hold of spider 1 again. "I'll get you now!"
However, like with Allyph's previous attempt, the spider manages to dodge the girl's hand. "Owww! Not again!"
"These spiders sure are hard to grab hold of," Allyph says while biting her lips anxiously, "but let's try to get rid of them quickly so we can continue our search for Lamm."
