Alestone will continue to hold the doorway opposite of Sunny.
He seems somewhat shocked to see Aoro and Duo both heading in.
The room beyond is covered in the webbing of a giant spider, but is almost completely dark.
"Well the room looks empty with some stairs leading down. So who's going first."
He still did not throw out the idea of a trap.
Sunny abandons the hatch and pads up to stand beside the door frame, leaning around and peering into the darkness.
"I dun'o..." She pauses, her large blue eyes darting around and taking everything.
"Whut be in 'em tables over there?" She points out the furnishings under the draped webbing.
"An' whut sort o' thing it be whut makes all'a this white stuffs..?" She asks, seeming perplexed by the gossamer strands that blanket the room. Reaching out and experimentally poking some.
*Poke, poke*
------------------------
Guys, Look at that room it is covered in webs. Yuck!
I kneel down on my knees and look upwards towards the celing of the room to see if there is anything up there before I do anything else.
Ya, that is gross guys, I know fire is not a good idea on a ship but I am going to recomend that we light these webs on fire quickly, maybe we can smoke it out of the room to get whatever it is out here. So we can kill it quickly
Sunny looks down at Lanliss,
"Smoke whut out? Kill whut quick, like?" She asks, stepping back from the weird unknown.
Sunny, don't you see the webs? There are a ton of webs in this room, so it would seem that there is a spider in there or at least was. Either way it would be to get rid of the webs so we can move.
Sunny tilts her head,
"Whut kind o' spidey, then?" She looks back into the room. then back at Lanliss, [b]"You mean a whoole lot o' spidey, don'cha? I mean t'would take th' lil' bugers ages t'get all'a that stuff over everything..."[/]b She leans back into the doorway and looks about.
"Oy, there's a spidey on the ceilin' ya dolts. Don't want to git ourselves bitt'n, we should smoke or burn it out, who know how many other wee ones be 'round as well. Whatever we do let's all be on the same oage bout it though, won't do much good to have half us us pokin' round while half of us set fire to the place."
Is the ship door big enough to fit a small 2 man row boat through or a barrel(1 person)?
The thought is to use it upside down as cover as a few of us slip past the spider.
Duo starts looking around the ship for a barrel or a small row boat.
Sunny peers into the room,tying to find this 'Spidey' that evey one is talking about.
"We can all=a ways go an' lift a lid?" Sunny points out, hoping to break any impasse about entering the room.
"Come at the problem from'a different angle?" She asks
+
------------------------------------
Okay, so here is what we are doing then Alestone, you stand by the door, Aoro, Move back behind me and stand next to Duo, Sunny you go and stand on the other side of the door so that we have a Team effort here.
Once everyone is in postion I say the following
Okay, Listen up! We're not playing games with a spider, I hate them and do not want to deal with them more then nessary. Alestone when it comes out pound it hard core, Sunny, Come out Slicing when it comes out. Duo, Keep us alive, me. I am going to toss this mixture at the damn thing and started by getting it out here.
I move into the room and duck and weave and toss my bomb upwards towards the spider
Once I get in there I try to move back out of the room to get the spider to follow me or behind the spider how ever it works
Sunny nods and quickly scampers into position, drawing her large Elven curved blade and standing ready.
"So, this in't the joke where...when you nod your head, I hit it? Right?" She asks, trying to lighten the tense mood.
(^_^)
Lanliss throws a bomb into the room and the flash of fire is punctuated with a high-pitched noise that pierces the air. A massive black spider with a red hourglass on the underside drops from the ceiling and lunges forward.
The spider lunges forward through the door, striking at Alestone.
Initiative:
Aoro chooses to test the spider out with a handful of acid.
Duo lifelinks Alestone (on Duo's next turn Alestone will be healed for 5 and Duo will take 5 damage.)
Sunny swings her sword at the spider,
"Ugh! Thas a BIG bug!" She exclaims as she jumps back a little in fright, missing her target.
--------------------------------
Well, that got his attention now didn't it. I am going to be moving to a spot where I can get flanking on it and stab it with my long spear. staying the distance back from it. Guys, if we get this killed I want some of this poison do not ruin it please
None of the blows aimed at it manage to hit, except for Aoro's bolt of acid, to which the creature makes a noise that is high-pitched with the sounds of clacking bone mixed in.
This time, it lunges at Sunny.
Its fangs gash Sunny, a bit of the venom seeping into her system.
Aoro seeing the lack of damage sends a pair of silver fish at the spider. Backing up to make sure he stays out of range should it come his way.
"Ahh! Nasty bug!" Sunny cries as the critter has a go at her-self.
Crunching into its shell...even as her burns from its poison.
--------------------------
I am going to stab at this this again wtih my longspear. I jab at it and hope I hit this time
Guys back up I am going to bomb it the next round make sure your out of range so I can hit this thing.
13/19
Attack:
Damage:
Acrobatics:
Fort Save
Alestone will place a swift kick into one of the spider's legs before attempting to tumble away.
Duo watches as the spider attacks one person then another. Getting the first 5 hp hit from Alestone, Duo pops off a
Attacks by the group aimed at the spider hit home and the sound of crunching chitin fills the air along with the strange pain noises the spider makes.
The spider's poison burns in Sunny's veins, attacking her body directly, flesh blackening and the pain nearly overwhelming her.
This spider backs away from Sunny and climbs onto the thick webbing towards the back end of the cabin.
(O_o)
"Urk!"
*Stagger....stagger...stagger....THUMP!*
"I feel terrible...!"
Aoro tosses another handful of acid at the spider.
"I think its almost dead, just a bit more."
----------------------
Now that she has retreated let me hit it again with a bomb! Stay back. Aoro you got any magic left? If so hit it with that .
I move forward so that I am out of splash range but close enough to hit the spider and toss my bomb at it
Heal:
Alestone will stagger over to Sunny and lift her head and torso off the deck into his lap, to raise them above the poison. He will then rip off one of Sunny's sleeves and tie it above the spider bite, to help keep the poison from coursing through her system.
"Stop movin' lassie, you'll only spread the poison out."
Sunny does little more than groan and whimper under Alestone's soothing words and touch.
Aoro's bolt of acid goes wide and misses the spider by a considerable margin. However, Lanliss' bomb nails the creature and drops it from the ceiling with an explosion and a flash of fire. It twiches several times as its legs curl upward and finally goes still.
The webs light up and fire streams throughout the cabin. The wood quickly catches alight.
The venom in Sunny continues its ghastly work, destroying flesh as it goes.
"Alestone...?" Sunny whispers, "I...I dun feel so good..."
-------------------------------------
I look inside the room and notice some stuff on the table avoiding the fire I run into the room and grab everything that I can see on there. I stop and take another look around the room as well while I am in there
Duo moves to sunny and does what he can to assist in healing her. "telling" Alestone to go help check the room as Duo will be able to tell if he gets into more combat.
Heal:
"'Ere, have a swig o' this"
Alestone will pull out a flask from inside his shirt, carefully unscrew the lid, help hold Sunny's head up and feed her a sip of the Dwarven ale."[/b]
Aoro curses as the fire catches and spreads, noticing the charts. The image of his hands around the elf's throat flashes thru his mind, he was going to make him eat one of those bombs. He pushes those thoughts away quickly moving to save the charts before they are loss.
"Anyone got any idea's how to stop this fire or do we go back empty handed?"
As it stood, Plugg was going to have a grand time when they got back.
Lanliss and Aoro charge into the room, snatching up charts. The flames lick at this backsides as they grab what they can and quickly exit the room.
Due to Alestone's and Duo's ministrations, the poison in Sunny's system finally halts its deadly progress.
Aoro does not feel the fire at all, his nature repelling the minor flames. Not that his clothes faired so well but that was best, no need for the elf to find out he was resistent to fire. He looks over the charts to see if their worth anything or meaningless, not that he was above secreting away a treasure map. Then again a ship would be needed, at best a share then. He sighed, back on the ship things would not go well. Lanliss may not survive his latest mistake if Plugg had his way.
Sunny simply lies where she's fallen. The delirium of the poison beginning to take over.
Alestone will hoist Sunny over his shoulders and stand back up.
"What's the plan" Alestone grunts under the weight of Sunny.
Duo watches patiently as his friends spend time in the firey cabin.
after grabbing what I can I run out of the cabin door and hand them off to Duo as I make another look inside to see if there is anything else useful
"Groan..."
@Lanliss: You notice nothing else in the cabin of interest.
The fire is spreading slowly for the moment, but will probably engulf the cabin in approximately another minute. For right now, it doesn't block the staircase down, which is now apparent to everyone, with or without the ability to see in the dark.
"Groan..."
