Kingmaker: Stolen Lands of the Shining

Game Master BloodWolven

Round 3, Init 15

I can not move Kevros right now but he moves to (4) squares right of Angeus on the same row to get a better line of sight on the large spider and to move to a better advantage point if the smaller spider should get involved.

Round 4, init 23

Having finally reached the point where the web-barrier was breached, Angeus runs toward the giant spider and vaults over its hairy legs, attempting to land behind the behemoth.

Acrobatics 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

uh oh :)

Or in Round 4, Init 15, Keveros moves to the square I wanted him to move to?

S'ala now at 4/16hp, but 9 NL keeps him unconscious.

Round 3

Tristan hits the spider well enough but it seems like the hide of the beast or some magic protections are limiting his damage. Kevros moves to get into optimum position, ready to attack it next round. Sala is out cold on the ground. Quince heals what he can.

Angeus fails her jump, let alone not provoking attacks, she gets stopped by the mass of the spider, it still strikes at her with its massive maw. It misses horribly smashing its face into the ground, you all may take an AoO if adjacent to it.

1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10 bite, 2d8 + 7 ⇒ (4, 3) + 7 = 14 damage plus poison, Fort DC 17, 1d4 str for 4 rounds, first save ends the continuous poison.

I missed the extra damage when Saren got critical hit, so he will be taking another 14 damage.

The group still does not know of the other spider, Angeus ran away quick enough it did not charge her.

*Edited

Round 3
4 str damage already... with 1 more from this round.
1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15 Fortitude save vs. poison DC 17 or 1d4 ⇒ 1 str damage.

Saren screams as the poison burns through his muscles sapping them of their normal ability. He strikes out at the spider with all the force he can muster. He strikes it hard, leaving a gaping wound with ichor flowing freely from it but its still functional.

1d20 + 8 - 1 ⇒ (20) + 8 - 1 = 27 Mercurial Greatsword with PA, 2d8 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (2, 8) + 6 + 3 = 19 damage with PA.

Confirm Critical 1d20 + 9 - 1 ⇒ (10) + 9 - 1 = 18 Mercurial Greatsword with PA, 2d8 + 7 + 3 ⇒ (6, 1) + 7 + 3 = 17 damage with PA.

After his exertions Saren drops to the ground once more, but this time he shakes as if having a seizure.

The spider tries to recover from its epic fail, AoO for all of you adjacent to the spider for last round, just post it with your actions for round 4.

It bites at Angeus once more and succeeds this time leaving its poison to course through her system and a many sharp holes in her flesh from its bite. Blood flows freely from her leg where the bite covered the entire thigh.

1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18 bite, 2d8 + 7 ⇒ (4, 3) + 7 = 14 damage plus poison, Fort DC 17, 1d4 str for 4 rounds, first save ends the continuous poison.

Round 4
Angeus leaps back from skewering the spider, but not quickly enough...the poison sears the blood in her leg like molten metal, a gasp coming unbidden from her mouth.
Fort save dc 17 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
Gritting her teeth, Angeus ignores the pain from the poison and continues moving, leaping backward out of harms way

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26 shot, 1d10 ⇒ 3 damage.

Both Tristan and Angeus get good hits on it but it still stands! It squeals in pain from them. Saren keeps seizing up as the poison runs its course through his body.
Fort Save for Saren vs. 17: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

ROUND 5

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25 shot, 1d10 ⇒ 7 damage.

The spider squeals some more retreating into its lair, (full retreat). The web walls all around it come collapsing down to close it's door.

Tristan Reflex save or get stuck in webs, DC 14.

You begin to take a breath for it has retreated and the fight looks to be over, but then you see all the other trapdoors of the other spider children pop open and they begin scurrying toward you... A total of six pony sized black red spiders are charging the group...

Did you roll for Kevros, GM Wolf. I am back and was about to post.

Just in case that roll was for Kevros,

As the last spider fully cocooned Sala up and retreats with its prey. Luckily neither of them get bitten as the spiders keep trying.

Heroes go!

Round 6

Quince attacks once more.

attack Morningstar: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Quince smashes the one next to him in the face and it squeals in pain, and drops.

Quince motions frantically in the direction of the spider carrying S'ala off. He is yelling something you cannot understand.

Avoiding the spider web, Keveros goes to port arms with his repeating crossbow and sprints to get in in range of the spider dragging S'ala off to take a shot.

Round 6

Angeus quickly reloads her crossbow and fires at the spider wrapping up S'ala

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

The spider goes for a bite, but Tristan skewers it to the ground, so that its poison falls to the ground, instead of going into his veins.

Two of the monks have played distraction, so the spider has to go around. Unfortunetly the beast withdrew, taking no AoO.

ROUND 8
GO!!!

Round 8, Init 15

Kevros stops to see if he has a clear shot or line of sight of the spider. Realizing he does not have a clear shot, he again spends his time running in order to get a clean shot, "Crap!"

is Tristan free to move or is the spider still alive there, no red x on it.

Round 8

attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26
damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

If spider was already dead Tristan will try and run tp Sala's aid

Oops my last post was listed as round 6 but it should have been 7. So I attacked in round 6 and again in round 7. The edit option is no longer available on it.

Just to be clear it looks like Quince is the closest to a huge spider that is still alive on the map. I am going to act as if there is a huge spider near him still alive. Otherwise I am going to have him run as fast as possible to aid S'ala.

Quince sees the others chasing down S'ala and regards the large spider still near him. He lifts his shield and Morningstar and engages the beast barking a challenge in celestial.

Tristan finishes off the last spider next to him and begins to chase after his allies. Kevros runs...

The huge spider retreated down into its hole a few rounds ago. Thus Quince would most likely charge after Sala with the group.

ROUND 8

Saren quickly gets to the hole, ready for the spider to run into it, ready with an AoO...

AoO: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14 attack, 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (2, 5) + 5 = 12 damage.

Round 8

Angeus can get into range of the hole but not of the spider...

The spider will try to avoid those around it and go into its hole taking AoO from those around. Between Saren, Angeus, and the two monks, the spider drops.

Fight is over, until you want to go poking around again...Act freely.

Saren has a few things on his mind, he doesn't worry about the poison, he gets to his friend, pulls out his dagger and starts to cut Sala free. He accepts help from the monks and anyone else that wants to help.

With the help of just a few or all Sala is free rather quickly.

"Quince it is entirely possible the poison in me is in him too, do you have anything to stop it, or a lesser restoration to fix the damage that is done. If not that then do you have any more healing?" It seems like he almost pleads with Quince to provide what he can.

Angeus trots up beside Saren and S'ala then kneels , keeping her crossbow on the hole the spider went into.

"We've got to make sure we've killed all of these spiders....including any babies. But we're a bit banged up, so re-grouping may be in order." she says favouring her bitten leg.

Kevros nods at Angeus, "Angeus, I agree with both of your assessments, and no offence to Quince, but we need a full healer or our field endurance will continue to be under performing."

Quince tries several times to answer Saren's question each time rattling off in celestial. Finally he calms, "That is not a gift Erastil has granted me."

He kneels by S'ala and again prays.

cure light wounds: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

"Well in the future, I would suggest some defensive fighting, if we are low on healing. Especially against spiders and their poison. Nothing against our tactics so far, just responding." Saren offers.

Sala is your spoiler updated? How much healing do you need to become conscious?

"Once we clear the holes of loot, we should burn them. Yes after we regroup and lick our wounds." Saren says with some malice.

"I can heal once more today who needs it more at this point."

With the latest dose of healing, S'ala is at 9/16 hp, but still has 9 Non-lethal damage on him, so in effect he is at zero hp. Enough to be staggered and disabled. He can heal the NL at 2hp/hr of rest, but can't while in combat obviously.

"If we are to stay to search these caves I will heal Saren and we should set camp and expect to continue searching the tunnels. I will make S'ala as comfy as I can so he can sleep the grogy off. If ee are ridding on I will heal S'ala so he is more fit to travel so we can get some more distance behind us before we camp."

Sala is up, healing heals leathal and nonleathal damage at the same time.

So what does regrouping mean here exactly? Are we camping here and then going into the holes in the morning after rest?

"I think we retreat a bit, stay within sight of this spider lair, lick our wounds until we're all able to contribute. Then in the morning we cleanse this area of spiders. Quince, I could use a bit of your healing, when you're able of course."

Currently 5 hp

Tristan is correct Sala, your non-lethal and lethal damage heals at the same time with magical healing, something tells me that your non-lethal damage should mostly be healed now.

"Yup, sounds like a plan. Lets recover what we have on the field and make camp over on top of that hill." Saren points to the West. He supports Sala with one arm as the other is holding his sword.

Unless you want to do something else... The group comes together and retreats to the hill in the West. A good place to watch all around you. With the spider's licking their wounds or dead, you are sure you will be fine.

The monks offer to keep watch for the night.

Once Sala is moved over to the horses and set onto one of them either riding in the saddle or with someone else, Saren goes and finds that dog again. He brings it back to the group in one arm and the sword in the other. He just brings up the rear, as his dragon follows him.

Once he is at the camp he will set out his bedroll, give the dog some jerky, and just rest a bit, not resisting at all and hoping Quince will bandage him up. He will help as required but likely be told by Quince to just try to sleep.

Tristan is correct Sala, your non-lethal and lethal damage heals at the same time with magical healing, something tells me that your non-lethal damage should mostly be healed now.

I thought healing healed both, but couldn't find a link to support it anywhere. Can you? I'll take it in the meantime. Since NL heals at the rate of 1hp/lv;/hr, it would take S'ala 5 hrs of rest to heal all his NL, and since he was dealt it at the beginning of this combat, it probably wouldn't really be healed, but again, I'll defer to you and the magical properties of the Riverlands.

S'ala comes to groggily, between the bite, the venom, and the web punch, the spiders overcame him quite quickly. He smiles and thanks his friends for saving his bacon yet again.

Kevros shrugs at Saren's comments especially since he is the first one to charge the spider nest for the a little mutt, "Perhaps?".

Before leaving for camp, Kevros recovers as many bolts as possible. At camp, he takes first watch so all of those in melee combat can rest extra longer and heal any wounds they may have received.
