"Brujo can you swap places with Cronin?" Leo gasps as he dodges the latest attack.
With a mighty blow, Commander Caine demonstrates his leadership skills. Watching him expose S4's weaker points will enable you all to damage the creature more effectively.

Fearing for Brujo, Leo moves to help hoping to draw off their foes' attention even as Leo calls upon his faith to aid him in this perilous task...
Leo's valour is rewarded by another burst of injuring clicking from the webspinner. The creature shifts backwards and directs a blast of sticky web at the paladin, restraining him, before stabbing at him with its longspear. Its aim is poor however, and the blow goes wide.
Web net v Leo (Ref). On hit target is restrained (save ends) (1d20 9=20).
Responding to the clicks of their ettercap masters, the remaining spiders leap again. S3 bounces obscenely over Snaggletooth's head and bites at the kobold from behind. The attack just misses, but Snaggletooth is all too aware of how lucky he is as the shadow of the spider's mandibles pass over him.
S4 flings webbing to the ceiling and swings over Fairwind's head before attacking the resolute half-elf. The spiders seem to be losing some of their vim, as this attack also misses.
"EIGHTLEGS!! YOU NOT HURT MY FRIENDS! YOU FIGHT ME!" Snaggletooth shouts as he attacks the spider that missed him. He smiles for the first time in this fight, 'cause he finally has the advantage.
A long agonised hiss comes from S3 as Snaggletooth plunges his shortsword through the mass of legs to deliver a devastating blow. Against all likelihood, the creature stays on its feet, but is clearly dazed by the ferocity of the attack.
"Brujo can you swap places with Cronin?" Leo gasps as he dodges the latest attack.
The moon elf shakes his head, "The shifter is too far away for me to switch with"
Fairwind sees the spider struggling and with a thought her magical blade becomes a stabbing sword and it bites deep into the arachnid!
Fairwind's first blow just misses a vital spot, but her second brings all the results she might have wished. S3 falls to the ground, completely unable to withstand the surgical precision of the half-elf's death stroke.
Perigia casts Ray of Frost at E4 and misses horribly.
Flustered by the eerily leaping spiders and the horrible clicking that fills the air, Perigia can't find her usually sure aim.
Brujo falls back carefully from the ettercaps. As he does he and Cronin wink out of existence and reappear in each others place.
Cronin invokes Selune's blessing to help heal the swordmage before sending a burst of sacred flame at the ettercap threatening Snaggletooth, but missing. He does, however, finally break free of the goo holding him in place.
With a swift inrush of air, Leo and Brujo swap places, as Cronin finally frees himself from the web of spider thread.
The ettercaps simply continue hacking at their nearest foes. E2 hops down from the boxes and smacks his greataxe into the swordmage.
E2 v Brujo (1d20 9=26, 1d12 5=6).
E3 goes after the suddenly appearing paladin, and brutally smashes past his defences.
E3 v Leo (1d20 9=27, 1d12 5=8).
E5 hefts its weapon and launches an attack on Fairwind. Try as she will, the half-elf can't avoid the blow.
E5 v Fairwind (1d20 9=19, 1d12 5=12).
The trio of successful attacks raises the tempo of the mind-searing clicking.
Cronin invokes Selune's blessing to help heal the swordmage
E4 takes a hard swing at the pestilential kobold and strikes hard.
E4 v Snaggletooth (1d20 9=17, 1d12 5=14).
With a mighty swing of his greatsword, Commander Caine bloodies S4. Out of the corner of his eye, he sees Snaggletooth slump to the floor as the ettercap hacks devastatingly into his small body.
"Noooooo!!!!!" Caine screams at the sight of a fallen comrade.
"Gorram." Fairwind breathes.
Unable to burst free of the webspinner's restraints Leo tries to call upon his faith and tries to fight defensively so he can survive long enough to pull free of the webbing even as Caine's cry almost makes him blanch.
Even as he struggles to free himself, Leo seeks for ways to aid his comrades.
The webspinner lunges at Brujo with its spear, just easing past his lithe foe.
Longspear v Brujo (1d20 10=21, 1d10 3=11).
S4 stays where it is and at the command of its ettercap master, trys to inject more venom into Commander Caine. The creature pulls back frustrated, as the warlord just manages to dodge the bite.
Snaggletooth looks pathetically small huddled on the ground, but it seems his constitution is stronger than anyone imagines.
Fairwind slashes at the spider and ducks away to defend Snaggletooth.
Perigia concentrates and fires balls of magical force towards the webspinner. The beast flinches and the blows hit, but do less harm than the mage hoped. She curses quietly under her breath and watches for her next opportunity.
Magic missile at Webspinner (1d20 5=17, 2d4 3=5)
A layer of ice forms on the moon elfs blade as he swings at the ettercap.
Fairwind's longsword brings further wounds to S4.
Brujo's blade again flares with arcane power as he slashes at E2 and the wound freezes over, inflicting additional agony on the ettercap. At the same time, he defies E3 to attack any other of his companions.
Cronin, with a look of grim determination, bends down and inspects Snaggletooth's wounds, bandaging the worst where he has time, then stands to face the ettercap.
