I run back out to the deck with the charts from the desk and I look down in to the hold,
So, What do we do next? the boat is going to sink anyhow, so do not blame me for burning it down. geese. I some charts here as Aoro knows, I also think that we should check out the hold really quick to see if there is any treasure down there, but with that wicked spider I am not sure if her childern are anywhere, If there was more time I would gather some of that venom for my use later, but since there is not
Tosses Sunny a potion, Here drink this, and after we get back to the boat we're making sure that you get some clothes.
"Groan..."
Aoro gives the elf a look.
"I do blame you. It would have taken the better part of a day at least to sink. Your reckless fire will destroy it in an hour or two, I am not entering that death trap you created."
His foul mood was plain to see. But it was the reaction back at the Wormwood that had him worried.
"Groan..."
"Groan..."
Duo seeing he can't help her wounds any more then he already has looks at the two arguing and starts moving for the cabin. His intent clear, hes heading in even if he only has a minute to act. He plans to grab what treasures he can and then get out. Better to leave with treasure then to leave empty handed and receive the punishment that may await. Better to die fighting here and have earned nothing (not counting the maps) then to die because they returned empty handed AND burned the ship down before exploring it.
"Groan..."
---------------------------
Duo, Get back here! Duo.
seeing what Duo has done, I Run after him and try to catch up to him to make sure that he's not going to get himself killed either
Duo not wishing to be stopped just yet and having a little extra time casts spark on the webbing. Doing so he knows that he will have even less time to get out but, he hopes the reward will be worth it. as again death here is better then what ever punishment they get back on the ship.
"I'll be back to help in a min, gonna stash S'ny on the dinghy fer safe keepin'"
Alestone will go to the starboard side and check on Aretta. Assuming she there.
"Oy down there. This one gone and got 'erself bit by a 'pider. I'ma lower 'er down gently."
Assuming everything goes well Alestone will deposit Sunny safely on the boat before returning to his other companions.
"Groan..."
Duo casts a spell on the webbing just as Lanliss reaches the bottom and the webbing in the place sparks up, quickly filling the room in a flash of fire. Notably, a web strung up across the doorway instantly burns up.
No secondary fires seem to spring up, although you hear a hissing noise as a pair of large, hairy spiders descend from the ceiling in the hallway just beyond the door. They look to be similar to the one you fought before, but are about the size of a person and of dark brown coloration.
The spiders move forward, but the hallway restricts them to being able to get at Duo one at a time. It lunges forward and attempts to bite the oracle.
However, Duo has ample time to avoid the attack and simply sidesteps the monster's clumsy bite.
Alestone lowers Sunny into the boat, handing the woman off to Syl. Syl grins back up at the dwarf. "Oh, I be sure ta' take good care o' her!"
"Groan..."
Aoro made sure to see Sunny off.
"Oh do take good care of her. You never know how poison can react. May very well end up in you if your careless."
He gave nothing away in his face but the meaning was clear as he studied Syl.
-----------------------------------
Duo, look out! More black widows these are the males their poison is not as bad ...
Because it such close quarters I jab at the spider with my spear but most likely Miss as my mind wanders off to Sunny to hope that she is okay
5 foot move.
case inflict.
strike when spider moves up.
full defensive AC = 20
Lanliss strikes at the spider, moving up behind Duo. The blow strikes wide and the spider does little to avoid it. Duo gives up going on the offensive and instead focuses on avoiding getting bitten.
The spider in the front rushes forward, biting at Duo...
..but the creature makes a half-hearted attempt and Duo barely moves in order to avoid it.
Her face screws up at Aoro's remarks. She looks down at Sunny setting in the boat.
------------------------------------------------------
I tap Duo on the shoulder and make sure that he understands to move back, I toss another bomb at this spider to make sure that I can get it and it's brother in the damage
Duo, I know that Aoro will kill me but ya know what I rather him him kill me then these spiders, Back up, now
I mix a quick bomb and lob at the spiders so that I hit one and get the other with the splash damage.
ya think Aoro Heard that tending to Sunny?
Duo nods to Lanliss. And 5ft steps more worried about keeping the spider from hitting then from getting out quickly.
AC: 20
The bomb smashes into the body of the spider, exploding with great force. The spider in the front backs away, disappearing into the hallway.
The decking bursts into flame and the second spider, already wounded from the first blast, retreats back into the hallway as well.
Duo frowns knowing with two fires going his chances of getting out alive with anything now are very small. Turning to Lanliss "What were those papers and will it stop us from getting punished back on ship?"
-------------------------------------------
Duo, Those where sea charts, hopefully treasure maps, but I did not get a chance to look at them too closely, let's look to see if we can put this fire out there, has to be something around here to help put out this out, then we have to deal with the spiders again. hopefully not though because the smoke should get them out of our way
"Groan..."
Aoro hears the explosion, he shakes his head.
"He has a deathwish, thats the only explaination."
Turning to Alestone.
"So what are you planning on doing. If they have any sense they will come out, the first fire is already in full force."
By the explosion he could guess another bomb was used, odds were in a confined space made of wood that means another fire. A sinking burning ship was too much for him.

Syl looks up at the two on the deck above her. "Shouldn't ya' go check on yer fellows? I'll take good care o' this one here fer ya'."
The fire down here is quickly growing more intense in the closed environment, especially with the air coming in the grate in the hallway beyond.
with whatever I find I start putting out the fire, I also take off my pants and start littlery peeing on the fire so that it is put out even a little bit. I am going to make sure that I can get it out even a little bit.
Lanliss, you find little around you in the small hallway that you're in. You pee on the fire in front of you, but the small amount of fluid is unable to put much of a dent in the flames.
-----------------------------------------
I grab Duo and pull him along with me the same way that the spiders went and run thru there to the otherside of the fire and roll across with him to make sure that we don't get attacked along the way
Duo being grabbed by Lanliss fallows him deeper into the ship. Hoping they can find some treasures to bring back with them to avoid to much punishment.
Alestone will head back to the outside of the spider room and will take a took.
Duo and Lanliss rush through the fire into the hallway beyond. The flames are getting more intense and burns are unavoidable.
You both come through a short connecting hallway (about 10 feet) and into a main passageway that passes through the ship. The grate to the main deck is a bit forward and above you. There are 5 doors in this place. One is behind you and in the side hallway, across from the entry portal. Two more are across from you in the hallway, while the other two doors cap the ends of the hallway, one towards foredeck and the other aft. The shaft of the mainmast pierces through the hallway to your right. The wounded spiders that you chased off sit by the door at the end of the hallway to your right. As they rush back at you, more spiders crawl out of the webbing around you, 5 of them, all slightly bigger than your hand.
The tiny spiders rush around the ceiling and walls, leaping at Lanliss and Duo as they get near. Two leap at Duo, while three go after Lanliss. They are both unable to react to the sudden rush.
Most of the bites land in seams in armor or exposed flesh, and while they have little effect individually, their bites and poison seem to start their deadly work on the pair.
Both of the person-sized spiders rush forward at Lanliss, lashing out with deadly fangs.
The spiders rush forward and lash out at the alchemist, but his armor manages to just barely absorb the blows without failing.
The cries of pain and the rush of spider legs can be heard through the grate in the middle of the deck.
Sunny slowly comes to a painful awakening. "I dun' feel so good..." She murmurs, trying to work out where she is...
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I pull out my potion of cure moderate and quaff that down quickly and then rustle around for my mutagen and quaff that down. Then I go and gather the inderates from my coat for the shield extract while looking up at the light comeing down for a split second.
Aoro goes over to the grate, why was he not surprised. He starts using his acid on the rusted grates hinges.
"Alestone the fool set another fire and is now being swarmed with spiders. I suggest you find some rope so when I get this grate open they can escape that deathtrap."
Hearing Aoro's cry Sunny gasps, realizing she's some how ended up back in the boat. She stands shakily and begins trying to work her way back onto the deck,
"Told people we should'a gone in through the deck hatch, but 'Oh no' they dun't listen t' Sunny..." She grumbles. (¬_¬)
Duo will 5ft step back and cast
The effects of the poison seem to have hurt Duo very badly any more and he could be in very big trouble.
Sunny, you begin to climb up the side of the ship, when you hear movement behind you. You spin around to see Syl with a dagger in hand. "Pity... I was hopin' ta' make this quick an' quiet!"
While Alestone is watching the fire and the stairway to the lower deck, Aoro sees the fight going on below through the grating in the deck. Suddenly, a voice, Syl's voice can be heard by both from the longboat. "Pity... I was hopin' ta' make this quick an' quiet!"
Aoro knew the man would try something. His tolerance very much at its end, he storms towards the boat. He flicks his wrist a dagger appearing in his hand, he tosses it at the fool. His voice deep and edged with cold anger.
"Wrong time, wrong man to cross. Now you die."
** spoiler omitted **
Sunny, you begin to climb up the side of the ship, when you hear movement behind you. You spin around to see Syl with a dagger in hand. "Pity... I was hopin' ta' make this quick an' quiet!"
Sunny's Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
Syl's Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11
"Eeep!" Sunny squeals in more surprise than anything else when Syl makes her action.
Sunny simply lets go the rope and 'pin drops' into the water.
Alestone will hop off the ship down onto the boat with syl attempting to grapple her.
Syl looks surprised when her quarry tips over and falls out of the boat, disappearing into the water. She's even more surprised when a dwarf seems to materialize out of thin air and makes a grab at her. She stumbles backward, but the dwarf manages to grab ahold of her. Aoro's dagger draws a slight line of blood across Syl's shoulder as the knife just grazes her.
Syl growls at the dwarf and wrestles with him to get her dagger into a position to stab.
She thrusts the knife at Alestone, but he manages to twist her just enough to throw her aim off.
"Fine then! I'll just feed ya' all ta' th' fishes!" The look of bloodlust in her eyes is unmistakable.
Not wishing to risk hitting Alestone just yet, Aoro cast a spell, a pair of silver fish dart into the woman.
"Oh did you mean these fishes, their my friends. And I got plenty."
He was already thinking of how to get rid of her body, along with a story as to her fate. Plugg was not going to pin a thing on them. He would be sure to use her reckless nature against her.
