Tarvelin |
Tarvelin enters rage and tries to break out of the webs.
Strength check: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Caught by the webs from out of nowhere, Tarvelin struggles to get out of the sticky bindings.
Current AC:14
Rage 8 rounds remaining
For those of us who got stuck in two webs, do we need to pass two strength checks or just one?
Andrek Valorn |
Strength Check: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Andrek has no luck either breaking the webs. He takes a moment to think about what he know about these spiders in case it can help him.
Knowledge (nature): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
Lucia Moonshadow |
Lucia will draw her bow and take a shot against spider 1.
Shortbow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14

Couple notes on the environment where this encounter is taking place.
*It is just about all difficult terrain (mostly because of underbrush). The yellow highlights on the grid indicate the difficult terrain, there are only a few patches without. Keep in mind the implications of that for withdraw actions if things get ugly (no charge lanes for pursuing PC's who withdraw).
*Also, that means no 5' steps.
*All that underbrush means virtually every square of the battlefield is a potential hiding place for stealthy characters.
*The terrain will sometimes grant Cover (+4 AC) against ranged attacks as well, rule of thumb the treetops are thinner than the dense underbrush (that's why Lucia's target didn't have a cover bonus) but the spiders that come down to bite will be harder to hit with ranged attacks.
*The spiders are currently up in trees (about 15'-20' up).

Round 4 Init 20:
Jeb, who in a moment of empathy sharing Priscilla's hatred of spiders, swings his longsword, while staying on the defensive. "Eat steel, monster!"
