Lighting the torch was my action. Move to retrieve it, Standard to light it.

Well, then Desmond can see normally.

Sven question get answered by a sharp shriek...The movement of the fight make the cloack to slip and reveal the full arachnid head that Cole now have.

Cole's six black eyes look at Sven whie his hand retrieve a new dagger (he now have a dagger in each hand) and his chest convulses make him spit a black and dense liquid toward Sven

Touch Attack, acid damage: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 191d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Sven perc: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 23
stealth: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21

You both see that a bigger spider is approaching trying to be stealthy about it but failing. It is big, at least as the size of a horse and have a patter of multiple colors that change slowly.

Also, and finally, the foliage arround Desmond is moving, but you can not see why.

"Desmond, I think that might be the rainbow spider. Be careful." he warns.

"Scaly, attack!" he orders, as he himself does the same.

Sven grows large, sprouting fangs and claws, and attacks the Spider Formerly Known As Cole in a whirling frenzy, trying to drag him to the ground and savage him.

Desmond activates his Green Glove token (ignore difficult terrain until the end of my next turn), Studies the rainbow spider, and moves next to it.

If it attacks him, he will Parry.

AHAHAHAHA. I thought this Rage Power was a worthless prerequisite for a better one! I was wrong!

I guess it just comes down to: Would I take no damage, or is it "minimum 1"?

I would say it is minimun one

Darn. Roll my Str damage.

Edit: Nevermind. Forgot the +4 (?) from antitoxin.

"Desmond I was serious earlier. Did you bring something that can kill these things? I'm not too bothered right now, but they're getting annoying."

Would I be able to collect Rainbow Spider poison while Raging?

Sure, it could take a while though.
Male Human Monk 5 (Qinggong Master of Many Styles from the Sacred Mountain)/Fighter (Brawler) 3

About how long? Can I roll Kn. Nature or Survival to make an educated guess?

can you roll them while raging?

You can always burn the swarm with torch fire, I guess... it would hurt you too but wands of cure light wounds are for that

"I've got an idea, but you probably won't like it."

Desmond starts burning the spiders.

"Vermin repellent doesn't look so bad now, does it?"

Desmond spiders or Sven spiders?

Hm, not too bad. I have just enough Rage rounds to manage it, with a couple to spare at the max number of rounds.

Sven gets to work on extracting the poison.

"I'm going to try and get the poison and then we can get out of here as fast as possible. The spiders can't hurt me very much but I can't hurt them either."

Desmond starts with the spiders on himself.

lets fast forward the boring part... Desmond takes 15 point of damage and Sven takes 10. You collect the poison form the Spider, it is a lot, you need you needed another jar besides the one that Tiko gave too you.

What do you do?

"Not in my experience. Should have known to come prepared for them." Sven grumbles, mentally slapping himself.

Do you leave behind he unconcious half-elf lady? Any preparation before trying to leave the forest?
Male Human Monk 5 (Qinggong Master of Many Styles from the Sacred Mountain)/Fighter (Brawler) 3

I thought she was dead, not unconscious. We grab her in that case.

1-3 yes.
4-8 No

The girl is unconcious and nothing you do traveling to aldwall awakes her. what youdo with her?

"Just the one."

Sven glances to his right shoulder, where he's slung the half-elf girl like a sack of potatoes.

"I don't suppose you have any training as a physician, or dabble in healing magic? I can't seem to get her to wake up. I'm pretty sure she's been poisoned, but with what I have no clue."

"Just the one, but he was a lively fellow. Even made a new spidery friend out of one of the rangers."

One?, You..sure?, this is like 5 times what a can be taken from a rainbow spider

When you mention the girl -I have healing potions and other stuff, it depend on what happened to her

"Not entirely sure. The man I went in to find had been transformed into some spider-headed creature, and I found him standing over her."

"As for the rainbow spider, yeah."

"Err...wait. How big are they supposed to be?" Sven wonders, realizing what might be his confusion.

"This one was the size of a horse cart."

The size of a big dog as much, at least that is what have been reported -

Just to keep things moving:

Once his business with Tiko is done (and he's gotten the Half-Elf girl to a healer), Sven makes his report to Amra.

"I found Cole and the adventuring party...or what was left of them. There was only one survivor, a young half elven woman. The rest were killed, poison by some sort of hallucinogenic venom."

"Cole was the oddest. he had been...transformed somehow. He had the head of a spider, but the body of a man. He seemed to retain some human faculties, using his daggers adroitly enough. But it was clear that it was no longer fully Cole. I had to put him down."
