Aaron tries to strike the spider that bit him with his scimitar.

Damage:
Fort Save:
I use Acid Splash unless an opportunity presents itself for me to hit the swarm with Burning Hands without getting any of our allies in the area of effect.
To Hit: vs Touch AC
Damage:
I start with Acid Splash to see if it looks like it affects the spiders. If it doesn't I'll switch to Ray of Frost next round (in case I don't get to post next round, it has the same plus to hit and same damage die as Acid Splash)
To Hit: vs Touch AC
Damage:
Aarons sword hits the spider in front of him sending thick dark blood spatering across the room. Aya's arrow sinks deep into its exoskelton and it rolls over, its spindly legs twitching. Alcibades tries to angle his breath weapon to hit some of the spiders as Davids acid splash hits one of the one in front of Dakaar and smoke begins to rise off of its exoskeleton.
Round 2
Aya heals Gorvio, he looks very appreciative.
Fioasa uses guidance on herself
David manages to line up a shot with burning hands
Yakopulio steps out of the swarm and swings her sword again. .
And the swarm disperses...
Dakaar you open the chest. To your frustration, it appears empty except for the mechanism you disabled and some rat droppings. The disable trap appears to have run through the chest to something outside the chest. It was set to do whatever it does when the chest is opened. The other rebels all have at least some damage. Aya or someone will need to make some heal checks to diagnose beyond that.
Two spiders try to bit Dakaar,
but both miss.
The other twitches on the wall.
Alcibades angles his breath weapon over Darkaar and lightly scorches them.

Aaron steps up to flank a spider that is attacking Dakaar and narrowly misses. Aya's shot hits the enemy on the wall, but doesn't seem to penetrate its exoskeleton. David's acid splash goes wide from the chaos of the combat. This brings us to the top of round 3. Dakaar is next assuming he doesn't total D.
The two spiders will continue attacking Dakaar after his turn. , ., . Both miss him again.

I will go into the room and try to get as many spiders as i can in my breath. I will try to get at minimum two.

I tell Aya, "We can get them checked out when we get back with Arael."
To the group, "Do you want to push forward and finishes are mission are you too wounded? "
If the NPCs seem ok i will push forward trying to finish mapping the sewers to Arael's church and clearing the path.
If they seem like they want to go back i will listen to what the say... (May considering splitting the group if some are sick and some are ok)..

Both miss even with the flank. The spiders still miss Dakaar. Alcibades can pass into the room and line up a shot to hit all 3 spiders.
The two attacking Dakaar crackle and pop slightly as the fire washes over them.
The one on the wall drops down as a charred lump.
Aaron swings once again . His scimitar cuts into the spider , sending it skittering in place from its injuries. It appears dazed.

Dakaar hits both times killing the one spider. The other one attacks Dakaar, , but narrowly misses. Alcibades breaths a line on the remaining spider, which it fails to dodge. It is fatigued. Aaron swings, , and severs a few of its legs. Aya's strike misses. David tries to acid splash , but is unable to hit the spider.
ROUND 5
Dakaar flurried again
, and destroys it with his last two hits. All of the spiders shrivel up and turn to smoke except for the last one which turns into a grape sized red garnet.
The rooms remaining are on the other side of the observation room. They were labeled “Hematophobia” and “Pyrophobia". There is also any recover you may wish to do.
Dakaar looks at the rest of the group, "We have some unfinished business to get to first I believe. That Devil had a powerful artifact that I believe we could convince him to part with. We don't know what we will be up against next, and we would be fools to pass up tools that we can use to get the job done.
I am all for going back lets do it quickly. I prepare to head off.

If you have a way to convince him to give us his weapon, then fine. But I don't want to let him out until we're ready to leave. There's a reasonable chance that lunatic will attack us if we release it. We don't know what else we will have to face before this is through, and I'm low on spells as it is.
David: Understood, let's at least give it a try.
David: Understood, let's at least give it a try.
"We may be able to rest in one of the cells, but this might ruin our escape plan."
Ok well then i think we are in agreement we will go and try to get the weapon but not let the prisoner out and the time. I begin to head back towards the prisoner. To Aya, "And the glaive is magical that is why i think we should get it. I thought it would make the most sense for you to wield but I can just take it and when i sell it we can split the money if you would prefer. At any rate i will help you hand off that troublesome treasure you got and someone more deserving when we clean this place out and get out of here."
Dakaar moves along, "Enough Talking, shall we see what the next room holds?", heading towards the blood room.
Alcibades follows dakaar.
Dakaar walks up to the blood room, and inspects the entryway.
Perception:
Alcibades readies an action to breath if he feels that he or dakaar is being threatened
Dakaar walks up to the blood room, and inspects the entryway.
Perception: 3d6+7+2
As with all the other rooms the entryway seems safe. Peering in you see two sets of stairs allow access to this cylindrical, thirty-foot-high
room, one leading up and the other down. What appear to be dozens of wicker bird cages hang by thick ropes from the ceiling,each dangling at a different height above the floor.
Fell free to elaborate or change the recap. Just thought i would save Jason some work.
The party continued to clear out the sanity trials. The blood room was filled with Stirge's which attach to you and suck your blood. They suckeled on Arron and Dakaar before being vanguished.
The room for fire was protected by a few fire elementals. Which the group quickly exstinguished.
After completing the trials the voice ... which was really coming from an invisible imp showed herself she took the gems from the party and then offered to answer 6 questions... they were not very helpful...
"where is the chelix crux?
through the knot with the king
who or what protects the crux?
itself, the king and his court
who is controlling the Council of Thieves in Westcrown?
such mortal trifles trouble us not
how do we best defeat the king and his court?
sacred relics, skill at arms
where within this structure is it safe to rest?
anyplace with watchful eyes"
At this point Dakaar and Alcibades finally dragged the group back in order to get the Magic Glaive from the prisoner.
The prisoner agrees to put on manacles if released. He does so. However, once let out he teleports out of the manacles and summons some less devils and begins attacking. After a tough battle the group eventually prevails. We get the Glaive and it posses Dakaar. However, the group eventually puts the Glaive in the bag of holding and the connection is broken.
Now battered beyond hope the group against there better judgement takes a night of rest.
The group then goes back to the refuse pit. Here it fights 3 water elementals. And find a holy symbol of Asmodeus. It has the concious of they first Mayor of Thrune of Westcrown. Alcibades communes with 3 times taking for points of Wisdom damage. However the amulet actually gives useful answers.
The group figures out how to open the sealed doors and begin traversing the Asmodean Knot ...
I take a perception check of the room we are in...
I ask Aya to heal my wisdom and tell everyone I am low on HP so i need some healing or will need to stay off the front lines.
"Thanks!"
I don't know how alcibades would explain. I assume i am covered in blood. I have lost over 80% of my hp ... over 40 hit points.
Alcibades looks at himself, "As I said your choice but under no circumstances am i going to move to the front line if i don't fell significantly better."
Dakaar tosses Alcibades a potion (clw). "Let's move, the guests in the mansion will be waking soon and we want to attract as little attention as possible leaving."
"Thanks Dakaar. I agree with moving on, however, I am sure the guests have woken up long ago... We have spent the night here afterall. Who knows what trouble that will cause us."
The room you are in is like many of the others, with the same 5 foot wide, nausea inducing spiral staircase and the pit in the center. about 30 feet across in total the pit is 20 feet across. The Stone door you passed through to the southwest is open. Two closed passages are to the east and the northeast.
[ooc] Then I probably need to recalculate the EXP I gave last time. We will be getting back to the sewer side retcon soon as well.[ooc]

Dakaar finds this difficult as the door has no discern-able means of opening it and is appears to be made of solid stone, much like its fellows before it.
