With a whimpering cry, Stephanie slides her dagger free from her side and frantically prepares a spell as the spider skitters across the floor in her direction. With a flick of her wrist and some carefully recited words, two purple flashes of light burst from the fingertips on her right hand and slam into the face of the charging arachnids.
Toppling Magic Missles. 2d4+2 damage (total for both missles). Toppling as well. Trip Attempt:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20
Day 7, late evening, 115 (Turn of the Clock, The approximate time of day is 7:10 pm)
Initiative order:
Rownig – 25
Stephanie – 25
Hallister - 20
Moralane – 18
Miagnik – 11 (does not act in the Surprise Round)
Spiders – 11
Windel – 5 (does not act in the Surprise Round)
Atharessa – 1
Round 1, wrap up
As the spiders rush out across the chamber, the party reacts with attempts to smash them as they run by
Windel strikes out, but misses
Rowning attacks one of the spiders as it rushes passed him. His blow lands hard, and the spider loses a leg Looks like you forgot to add in Atharessa’s Bonus to your rolls, but yes it is normally a minimum of 1. Also, blue was not an option for your AoO can I apply it toward Yellow?
Hallister attacks one of the spiders as it rushes by. The blow sends the spider tumbling, but it recovers and continues on looks like you may have missed Atharessa’s Bonuses to your Rolls
Round 2
Rowning sees another spider coming right for him. He takes a step back and turns on another spider, but the spider is too quick and avoids the blows Also, please remember Atharessa’s Bonuses, okay
Hallister turns, steps back and goes after the same spider. Rownig's furious attacks distrack the creature and Hall manages to land a hard blow. confused by the bless? Are you adding in a +1 to damage because of Atharessa’s Inspire Courage?
Stephanie lets go with a few small magic missiles, and feels a pull that is strange to her
Stephanie:
You can make a Knowledge Arcana Skill Check if you are curious as to what just almost happened. Going to say your missiles hit Green
The missiles hit the spider but cannot topple the eight legged freak
Damage:2d4 + 2 ⇒ (3, 3) + 2 = 8
Miagnik summons a flame, and as he is casting the spell he can almost feel something dynamic at work here.
Miagnik:
You can make a Knowledge Arcana Check, if you are interested in what just almost happened
If the bard's IC is only +1 reduce the att and dam accordingly.
bane:2d6 ⇒ (3, 3) = 6
SERIOUSLY!! the dice Bot hates me.
my roll should have been +7+1, it still equals the 8 I listed above and I missed.
DM:
I went back and reread everything:
Kreescandiq, the Spider Slayer
Alignment – neutral good
Intelligence – 10
Wisdom – 10
Charisma – 12 (+1 ego)
Item has Empathy only
Item can detect special purpose foes within 60’ (+1 ego)
Item was created to slay giant poisonous spiders (+2 ego)
Magical Weapon Ego +4
Total Ego = 8
The axe is a +1/+2 Melee weapon
It is +1 to hit against all enemies, and +2 versus Spiders (bonus also applies to damage)
The Axe is a +2/+3 Thrown weapon
When thrown, it is +2 to hit against all enemies and +3 against Spiders (However! damage bonus remains the same as above)
It is a Bane weapon against Giant Poisonous Spiders ONLY (doing an additional 2d6 damage on a successful hit against these creatures)
The Axe is a special Returning Weapon, and normally returns to the wielder as per the normal rules for Returning Weapons, but on a successful hit against a Giant Poisonous Spider the weapon “Bites” instead and continues to do 2d6 damage every round automatically. The Axe cannot be made to return in this situation, and could be lost, if the spider were to escape with the axe imbedded in it, but the Dagger will “know” the location of the axe, and lead the character to it as long as it is within 1000 feet.
The Dagger is a +2/+3 Melee weapon
It is +2 against all enemies, and +3 versus Spiders
On a successful hit against any poison bearing monster, the Dagger will attempt to drain the potency of the poison from the creature. The struck creature is allowed a Will save (the DC is the Daggers Ego +10) and if successful the creature is not effected, but on a failure, the dagger magically drains the potency of that creature’s poison attacks for one minute. The Dagger, if successful in draining poison potency, can be commanded to deliver a poison attack (using the poison statistics of the creature it has drained) for a time up to one minute after it has drained poison potency. To do this the character must succeed at a Will save against the Dagger’s Ego, or the dagger will refuse to use the poison it has drained.
Also, once per day the dagger can be commanded to “Neutrilize Poison” as per the Spell. The caster level for this ability is 8.
When thrown the axe gives off light as a Torch, illuminating the target momentarily when it strikes.
The blade of the dagger is made from the Fang of a Huge Venomous Spider, it is enchanted, strong enough to be used in combat, and instills "Hatred” in any spider that sees it.
This weapon was made by a Dwaven Oracle to assist a long forgotten Dwarven Leader (in a time before the current political situation of a Dwarven Empire) in a war against a tribe of Goblins that rode giant Poisonous Spiders. When the Tribe of Goblins were defeated, the Axe was passed down through several generations of Dwarves until it was given to a Goblin Tribe as a promise of peace (with the understanding that these Goblins would never again take to using poisonous spiders as mounts).
The weapon is vain, and wants nothing more than to be used in battle against spiders and will constantly impart a feeling of mild Arachnophobia in the wielder. It does not mind being passed around, but will choose a character (typically a character with a high Charisma Score) to latch onto and try to make that character “feel” as though the character and the weapon have a special bond. When in possession of the weapon, if you are not actively seeking out spiders to fight, the weapon becomes agitated and ramps up the Arachnophobia it imparts, until the feeling of fear of spiders becomes debilitating (usually taking a week, and then a Will Save must be made against the weapons Ego, or you abandon any plans you have and seek out giant spiders in preference to everything else including sleep and food).

The princess watches her missles slam into the spiders with unusual force, though it certainly isn't enough to topple something with so many legs.
She shrieks as the spider grips her and sinks its fangs into the flesh of her arm. The punctures are minimal, but she can feel her muscles immediately tightening around the wound - soon followed by every muscle in her body stiffening. She now stands frozen, trapped in her own body, staring into the black orbs of the hungry creature before her.
Miagnik attempted to dodge but his foe was just too tenacious in his assault. The pain shot through his shoulder as he moved past.
Fortitude Save:1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20
Fortunately for Miagnik, his blood ran hot with the magic of fire and the poison was burned out of his blood before it could take hold.

Hal should be up next to the Orange one flanking with Altheressa
Hal dodged one spider and then quickstepped away at the last second when it looked like he was about to be hit. Crane Wing on the one that would have hit me.
Seeing Stephanie lock up and stiffen with spider venom he swore and bolted to help, swinging his axe down on a greenish looking spider. Move to BT5
Piecing together some of the things you have felt, noticed, and seen, in this chamber, you begin to see a pattern. It is possible that the statues in this chamber are Powerful Magic Relics, and they may influence the casting of spells. You now believe that the two statues vie for control of magic, and that one or the other may win out in a contest you cannot control. This could result in one statue increasing a Magical Effect, while the other reduces it, even to the point of erasing, or removing spells. If the statues are Relics with Magical Energy, most likely related to the Divine Casting areas, it could be that the covered statue’s power is diminished, and the other statue is dominate at this time.
Windel again swings the new found axe at the spider attacking him, but he misses.
Atharessa continues to chant a children’s nursery rhyme that she begins to add her own made up lyrics that are sounding far more adult and menacing than any children’s rhyme should. She then stabs at the spider in front of Rownig with her spear.
Maelodakh is unaffected by the poison, and can go immediately, taking a round three action
Rownig?
Stephanie is paralyzed, so she does not take an action in round 3
Hallister avoids the spider’s attacks and moves to help Stephanie,and easily crushes the spider with a massive blow
Hall- I’m not sure where you are getting Bless from, did I miss something? But, of course you hit anyway. Are you fighting with unarmed attacks, monk style, or with your hand axe?
Moralane steps back and draws another arrow cursing at the aggressive arachnid

Thanks for the high save Terquem! Was Mae raging? Wielding morningstar or spear?
The spider's venom smarts but doesn't unduly affect the royal gobliness. Mae sees the battle raging away from her position and feels somewhat exposed. She extends her arms back over her head and puts every ounce of disgusted and unbridled annoyance into her strike.
"Hiiieeee. Ow! You little wretch. I'm going to spit you and spit on you!"

Just read through the combat again - I haven't added Bard bonuses to Mae's rolls - I think her Crit Confirmation is now a success.
@Terquem - you choose Mae's weapon - I don't see other attacks from her yet so don't know if she had spear or morningstar. For critical Spear would be x3, Morningstar x2.
Miagnik rolled away from the spiders attempting to again catch the most he could with his magic. He knew his magic might be stolen or heightened now, but he could think of no other way to attempt to quickly clear the room.
He just hoped things would go in his favor... Or at least not against me.
Moving from Bp-5 under Windel over to BS-3 right side of Moralene. Taking an AOO from that light-blue spider again.

RD 3: Windel
The cleric feeling the power of his axe steps 5 ft (-BR, 4) and throws his battle axe, while deftly hanging onto the dagger. His aim is for the red spider.

Round 3, wrap up
Rownig hacks away at the fast moving spider (orange) but he can’t seem to bring it down.
Maelodakh, let’s go with the small sized Morning star Extra Crit Damage:2d6 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (1, 5) + 2 + 2 = 10
the spider takes a total of 17 points of damage, correct?
Flying into a rage after a brief moment of wandering in her mind, Maelodakh smashes down at the spider crushing two of its legs.
As Miagnik tries to maneuver into a tactical position, one of the spiders notices he is not looking and leaps out with fangs to bite the Goblin
AoO, Blue Spider:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
But Miagnik high steps away just in time, and then he turns, weaving and bobbing in places to confuse the spiders near him and unleashes another blast of eldritch flame
Miagnik, the happy looking Blond Dwarf, is Atharessa, ;)
After the red spider bites Windel, the Dwarf steps back, snarls and heaves the axe, wich detaches from the handle, at the spider. The axe, slashes the spider in half and returs to Windel's other hand
Rownig and Maelodakh can go again, check the damage tracker to see what spiders are dead as I have not been able to update the map!
Hallister goes into action, throwing his weapon across the room while he safely sweeps Stephanie away from the battle
I am applying the hit of Hallister’s axe to Blue, as Orange is dead

@Terquem - I think the damage should be 3 (rolled), + 2 strength, +3 power attack, + 2 inspired plus one dice (morningstar is x2) - your first dice roll was a 1 + 2 strength, + 3 power attack, + 2 inspired so total is 18 damage. I think...
[EDIT - just realised the +4 BAB progression of Power Attack - two handed PA gives me 2 + 2 +50% = + 6 damage... So final damage for round 3 should be 24. Please feel free to check my math or understanding of two handed Power Attack...
Round 4:
Feeling the arachnid's body crumple satisfactorily Mae leers a visceral grin and chops the foul creature again, preferring ferocity over accuracy.

Lgt Blue spider bite
fort, racial:1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 5 + 2 = 27
The cleric scoffs at the spider bite (light blue). He hesitates giving Rownig time to slide into -BR,2 so his companion can sneak attack the lime spider.
Maelodakh pounds the spider flat until it is nothing but a smear on the stone floor
Maelodakh:
I think we need to review how it is you have Power Attack as a feat. It doesn’t alter much going on right now, but I’d like to get it cleared up soon
Miagnik feels the venom burn in his limbs as he stiffens and becomes paralyzed
Paralyzed for:2d3 ⇒ (3, 2) = 5
for 5 rounds! EEK!
Hallister will have a Round 4 Action, then the remaining spiders will go again. After the Spiders, Windel and Atharessa will finish round 4. Windel has both the Axe and Dagger now
Meanwhile, Windel smiles and then sneers at the spider as he fights off the poison bite.
Rownig manages to cut one of the spiders but it dodges his second blow
Moralane, now laughing at the spider that she keeps ducking time after time, steps back again and fires another arrow
Miagnik - takes 3 damage (paralyzed)
Stephanie - takes 2 damage, is paralyzed for the second of three rounds

Hal moved between Moralane and Altheressa, gently laying the princess down where she was flanked by allies, guarded from the remaining spiders. "S' gonna be a'right. Ye just lay there an' move when ye can. We'll keep ye safe."
Move to BT2. Lay Stephanie down in BT3. (this might provoke an AoO, but I'm fine with that.
Then he turned to face the spider in front of Moralane.
"How ye faring, lass?" he said, trying to get a look at whether she was wounded.

Moralane glances to the side when she hears her name, a small smile plays on her lips, until she notices it is Hallister, and then she puts on an expression of seriousness.
We need a better plan! Moralane hisses, as she readies herself for the spider to come after her again. I just hope I have enough arrows!
Purple advances on Moralane Bite Attack:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11 Damage if >17:1d3 ⇒ 3
