Boneyard squints into the low light and misses the tell-tale hourglass shapes on the spiders. "I'll see if I can slow them down." The investigator gestures at the space between the party and the spiders on the ground and a moment later, a plump dire rat bursts past the group and races to the area in front of the spiders, stopping with a panicked look. [ooc]Casts silent image[ooc]. Boneyard then steps back, stopping where the door will block the spider above and draws his rapier.
one of the spiders seems to be focused on the rat
Stealth
Attack he drags the drow around a rock and after choking him to death leaves him there and rwjoins the group as if nothing had happened after casting a heal.
Bot for Salus
Salus uses his longsword to slice through the webbing all over his arms.
Unable to get a full swing in the webbing fails to break.
The first spider moves down in between the wall and Salus, and away from Ehad.
The spider sinks its fangs into Salus's shoulder, pumping poison into his veins. Salus roars as he shakes off the effects.
Spider #2 quickly strikes at the dire rat
Its mandibles go straight through the rat, and it vanishes.
The third spider sprays it's web at Ehad
The spider then closes on Ehad stopping next to him.
Varin manages to move the drow to the rocks, however is unable to choke him before he breaks the grip and steps away drawing his rapier in one hand and crossbow in the other. At the same time he shouts out
Escape!!
EDIT just in case to see if I am wrong if he broke free later, but to choke him you have to hold him for 5 rds, per garrote rules
Varin swings a large rock at the drow, with it bouncing off his chain shirt.
The drow responds by stepping back and firing his crossbow.
for
Varin feels the familiar poison course through his veins
Once again he shakes it off. At that moment Varin finds himself surrounded by the one other drow and the Large muscular Drow. They proceed to drag Varin back into the silenced area and beat him into unconscienceness.
Varin comes to back at the base camp chained to a table, with the priestess above him smiling. To his left, behind the priestess he sees another table with the drow he attacked eviscerated on it. You rose your hand against you masters. That is not allowed. She nods to the muscular Drow who draws his great sword.
Disobey a third time and it will be more than a hand that you lose. Obey me and you just might get these back someday[b]
The Drow then swings his sword down, severing Varin's left hand.
Kracow AC: 25/17/21 HP: 44/44
Kracow takes aim at the wounded spider (if it climbed off the wall into range, or spider #1 on Salus if not) and fires
then he reloads.
Kracow's second shot slams into the spider's torso, almost on top of his first shot, there is a spray of green ichor and the echoe of the gunshot surrounds the party.
blasted spiders! I will not be hindered by the likes of you nor your filth! Ehad tries to rip the webbing off of himself as quickly as possible. . . As the sticky goop falls from Ehad, he makes a rather ungraceful punch to the maw of the giant spider.
ehad's first strike shreds the webbing from Salus while the secondstrikes the spider's mandible with the force of the stone around and below them, jerking it's head to the side.
Boneyard moves back up to thrust his rapier at the closest spider. As he prepares to strike, he calls on Cathlessra's lessons and allows a little arcane power to flow into the blade. Calondrel ought to be happy with that blow.
Not bad, but I would have stabbed through one eye and back out another. Calondrel laughs.
Salus slices at the webbing around Ehad while muttering a silent prayer to deaden his pain.
Lay on hands
Web
Spider #3 Moves to an angle that it is not attacking through cover and sprays more web at Salus, now that blood is in the air.
It flies wide and splatters the wall behind the combat
Spider #2 skitters to the side to flank Salus and it tries to bite him, followed almst immediately by the other spider. The desire to drain Salus of all his fluids is strong.
for
for
Kracow takes aim again at the wounded spider, positioning himself to not provoke an attack and to hit his target without cover.
If it hits,
Then reloads
for a total of 20
the bullet rips through the spiders skull sending it drumpling to the ground 8 legs twitching arythmically
"Kracow, are you really sure you needed the rest of us?" Boneyard remarks dryly.
As he looks around he notices that the Muscular Drow is now wearing his mask.
You block'em out of range and I'll drop them. But don't start knotching belts just yet. Salus looks to be in a bit of a pinch, Kracow says as he is loading his pistol.
seeing the hunger in their eyes, Ehad tries to help Salus as best he can.
1st flurry or repositioning strike
2nd flurry or regular unarmed strike
dmg
dmg
Ehad throws a punch that rebounds off the spiders chitin, but follows with a vicious elbow that leaves a spiderweb of cracks in the armor.
Salus looks weakened by the venom of the spiders and drops to one knee, his sword point down propping him upright. He leans heavily on his hilt and is clearly unconscious.
Fort for next poison
those close, ehad and boneyard you "hear" a strong feeling of worry and desire to help coming from Salus's pack.
Graveyard
Boneyard quickly moves into a flank and attempts to stab through one eye and out the other, channeling a little magic into the blade
for
Perhaps he tried to hard, and he misses wide.
Spider #3 sprays web at Ehad again
again missing wide
Spider#2 turns and attacks Ehad, responding to his elbow.
for
Ehad feels the poison seeping into his veins, and sapping his strength
dealing
As he comes to again he mutters to himself in orcish entreating his "patron" to keep an eye on things and let him know what it sees coming...
Ehad stumbles back with a now limp arm as the venom seeps in. In a desperate attempt to take the spider out before it can take another bite, Ehad kicks hard into one of the spiders joints.
Attack:
Damage:
Poison Save:
AoO:
Damage:
Ehad kicks out, hard crunching into the spiders leg, causing it to wobble.
Boneyard considers the strange feeling from Salus's pack, I'd really like to know what that means, but we'd better get rid of these spiders first. He stabs at the closest spider with his rapier after channeling some of his magical energy into it.
Boneyard feels a wave of frustration from the pack as he brushes it off. Followed by a continued feeling for a desire to help, a need to help.
Boneyard's thrust skitters off the armor before finding a softer spot and sinks about 2 inches into the side of the spider, drawing a chittering cry from it, as green ichor leaks out.
Kracow AC: 25/16/20 HP: 44/44
Kracow fires at the 'embarrassed' spider
he reloads quickly.
Kill off these last two spiders, then we can heal Salus. Can anyone stabilize him without bringing him up into the middle our fight?
the bullet slams into the spider sending out another gout of spider juices.
The spider in front of Ehad plunges it's mandibles at him
for
Ehad responds by dropping his shoulder into the bite, grunting with pain, but managing to off balance it enough so that it falls. As it does Ehad stomps on its head, splttering spider bits everywhere.
The other spider quickly closes the distance to Ehad and attacks him as well but it is surprised by the flailing limbs of the slain spider and it winds up crunching into the body of it's former colony mate.
the Call from Salus's pack is practically screaming into the mind of Boneyard and Ehad that it can help. The feeling of stopping poison is prevalent.
would I be able to get to Salus's pack safely?
