Tirion chooses to stay outside and keep a lookout -- he has his Mage Hand extract his whistle from his Haversack, and keep it ready for use; if anyone approaches, he'll either blow the whistle like crazy, or he'll say "Ya'll shore do gots a purty mouth..."
Bander you can go. You can try to escape the grapple or attack with a 1 handed weapon.
I am about to be eaten!!!!

One of those attacks appears to hit, but it doesn't seem to have any effect (DR is not your friend).
It moves to pin Bander.
and then next round the chomp.
Players are up.
Narissa runs up the stairs, and barrels down the walkway and through the door Bander left open. Then, seeing things, she doesn't stop she just takes a leap off the balcony, spinning in air before landing.
Narissa lands next to the spider and grins fiercely. "HEY! YOU! You got more to deal with than a little pibsqueak like him!"
Finally reaching the door Bo opens it and takes one shot at the big ass spider thing..
Bo puts a bullet into the large spider.
The spider tries to bite its pinned meal.
at least it popped the image
PCs are up. We'll assume Urga made it into here.
squirm...squirmy squirm
Urga power attacks.
Since leaping at it didn't distract it, Narissa steps back five ft, and unloads into it, wondering if cannon rounds will distract it.
Narissa puts a well placed shot right amid its nerve ganglia ('right in the middle of those 8 eight eyes' to you primitive medieval screwhead PCs) and it goes down and stops moving, with Bander finally able to escape its grasp.
The room:
The majority of this large, stuffy chamber is covered in filthy webs forming a funnel that dips down into the ground. A catwalk runs around the rim of the room near the ceiling, twenty feet above the ground. In northeast and southeast corners, the catwalk expands into a ten-foot-square platform that’s fenced in by wooden beams, forming cages. The walls within each cage are hung with iron manacles. Most of the manacles—while bloody— are empty, but three in the southeast corner imprison emaciated men.
"Bander can you release those manacles please.." Once down Bo will hit each man with a LoH..
They are also cured of any fatigue and if they have any disease i get to roll to remove that as well..
"Hello, I am Bo Harding, Paladin of Sarenrae.. Who are yall and how did you get here"
Narissa steps back in and kicks the carcass as hard as she can, rolling it off Bander. "You start on the left, I'll get the right." She tells him, seeing as how there are so many manacles that need to be removed. Her rifle snicks back into it's holster on her back, after being reloaded, and she pulls out a small set of finely wrought lockpicks and begins helping Bander remove manacles.
Narissa frowns as she fumbles with the locks a bit. "Huh, guess I'm rusty..."
All of the people in the manacles are unconscious and dressed only in their skivvies.
You can eventually get the manacles off since you are not pressed for time.
Flick will offer to heal them if you give the go ahead.
"I suppose we can make camp outside for the evening and get these guys back on their feet.. Let's go back and finish searching the house i suppose.."
Shalelu, the elf lady who was tagging along with you, and somehow never managed to get involved in any of the combats (because I forgot about her) exclaims, upon seeing the prisoners "Father! That's my father! We must help him!"
Back in the house there is a treasure room that holds an unlocked chest.
It has:
a large sack filled with assorted coins (315 gp, 700 sp, and 208 cp)
some pearl studded gloves
some boots with stitching in platinum
ruby-inlaid red dragon-scale cloak clasp
agate-studded gold ring
a necklace of emeralds and silver
Don't recall if I gave you the loot from the ones you dropped. If I didn't let me know (think I did).
"We need to hire us a tag along wizard to figure out what all our loot is.."
Level 0 wands are plenty cheap.
The flunkies all pretty much have crap.
(I am only listing stuff which looks better than normal)
Mammy had:
2 potions
3 wands
book
Crowfood (one you fought outside)
ring
amulet
leather armor
ogre hook
Hucker (guy in the basement)
Ogre hook
breastplate
ring
You also found equipment which the prisoners when revived will recognize as their own (hence I'm not going to list it based on the assumption that you're not a bunch of dirty thieves).
Well hello there folks. I am Bandersnatch, but I will let you all talk to the big folks!
With that he rushes off to check on Tirion, then to check on his dog.
I would prefer people to not go into a full blooded arcane class. The investigator does sound reasonable though. It's not very heavy magic, and would solve your magic item problem.
Actually you guys need to level to 8th anyway. Any magic class levels have to be post 4th.
Urga will provide the prisoners what food and water that he has.
"We need to get them back to town at once."
Flix will respond to Urga "Actually I think I have heal them up if we just spend a bit of time here. If you all think it is a good idea, I can revive them all now. I don't know that I can get them back to full health without at least a full day to treat them though. "
Shalelu reponds "Of course you have to help them, that's my father!"
barring any objections, he will begin administering healing draughts.
Immediatedly after being awakened the father clasps his daughter in a tight embrace. It is apparently an emotional moment for the two of them.
The one indicated to be Shalelu's father speaks for the prisoners. "I am Jakardros Sovark. These are my companions Vale Temros and Kaven Windstrike. " He is an older human of middle height with an apparent missing eye (covered by an eye patch). His companions are a tall Garundi man and a a handsome young man with dark hair and emerald eyes.
"We're the last of the Black Arrows. Fort Rannick has fallen. My men here and I are all that survived of an effort by my patrol to retake the fort after a force of giants and ogres had captured it. As it was we only barely escaped only to be caught by the freaky hicks from this farmhouse. "
Narissa nods. "Sorry to hear that. We need to get back to town and alert the mayor then. No need to go to the fort. Plus these folks will need help recovering, a single draught or two isn't going to do it. We need to fix the mouthy runt too." SHe begins examining the door on this side, to see why it wouldn't budge before. "We need to open this door, they're not in any shape to climb up to the way we came in."
You can hack away at the webs which hold the door shut easily enough (adamantine weapons and all).
When you say back to town, do you mean the local town of Turtleback Ferry or Magnimar?
Bander will slowly drag the dog in from outside.
I know this dog was under the control of that nasty beast, but I think if we give it some love it will be friendly. He says after popping his head back in. Also lets not forget the folks in the town we saw with the tattoo.
Once Bander has dragged the dog in, he goes and drags Tirion in, and rests his head on the dogs flank as pillow.
So whats new brother?
"Come morning I will have some draughts prepared which should have your brother right as rain. "
Oh wait! We could do this instead! Bander flips Tirion over on the floor and spread out his arms and props up his chin. If we figure out how to open his mouth we have a Tirion skin rug!
Tirion says nothing as his strengthless body is subjected to Bandy's evil misdeeds -- but it somehow seems clear he is accustomed to being patient with the mentally deficient...
Bander frowns at not being engaged, and sits down and pets the unconscience dog.
"I say we let the Black Arrows decide their fate. If they wish to return with us and avenge their brethren who are we to say they can't. if nothing else perhaps they can get us there more sneaky like than we could on our own.. Let's see what they have to say about it."
The Black Arrows are eager to take back their fort, but they think the idea of letting the town know is a good one.
