Eldan cuts away the burning webs from the rest again. "Alright, there's just three of these things left."
She nods, "Alright, let's finish this and make sure there's nothing else down here." Derika moves up to the northwest corner and opens another sac.
Gashka nods in a similar fashion and moves up to another sac as well.
Eldan moves to the last sac and readies himself for whatever may be within.
Gashka and Derika unleash two more spider swarms, while Eldan releases a full-grown spider.
Initiative:
The spider leaps at Eldan and attempt to bite the kobold.
Round 1: Spider, Eldan, Anyka, Vishanti, Derika, Gashka, Chris, Spider Swarms
Eldan attacks with quickness and fury.

[/ooc] How Many alchemists fire did Chris make and distribute?[ooc]
Anyka hurls her flask at the swarm.
The flask smashes right in front of the swarm, barely catching the spiders.
Round 1: Spider, Eldan, Anyka, Vishanti, Derika, Gashka, Chris, Spider Swarms
She sighs and tosses another flask of fire at the swarm, "Ya know, I almost prefer the big ugly ones on the ceiling compared to these annoying little bastards."
Derika growls in frustration as she just can't seem to hit them.
Flying to a spot between both swarms Vishanti Rains fire down on both swarms.
Gashka nods in agreement, "I heard that." She then too lobs another flask at the mass of spiders, hoping to whatever God or Goddess that they don't start crawling on her again.
"BLOODY HELLS!" She exclaims while discovering quickly that bottled fire is not her friend.
Derika catches the swarms with drops of alchemist's fire. Gashka drops the bottle at her feet, splashing herself and the swarm in front of her. Vishanti manages to finish off one swarm, though they evade the worst of her spell.
Round 1: Eldan, Anyka, Vishanti, Derika, Gashka, Chris, Spider Swarm
Chris steps up and lobs a flask toward the back end of the swarm in order to not hit Derika.

Gashka yelps as the fiery concoction splashes up on her skin and burns her a little.
Chris' attack finishes off the last swarm.
Looking around she says, "Well, at least that part is over. I'm not sure how deep these mines go, but this looked like a large nesting area. I think before we go further, we should make sure that these two..." She says, gesturing to the two they had rescued, "should probably be escorted back to the surface so they can be taken care of if they're hurt or anything. I can carry the one that's passed out if I need to." She says, thinking that it would be better to take the survivors up where they would be safe and continue from the room they're leaving off in.
Gashka spies a portion of wall that looks like it had collapsed, but there is nothing else of interest here.
"Yeah, maybe we can figure out how they got down here," Chris says. "And we could all use some rest."
Just to be on the safe side, Gashka goes to investigate the place in the wall that had collapsed to make sure that this part of the mine ended in this room.
The rubble blocking the wall is too dense for Gashka to figure out what was behind it. She gets the feeling that the collapse was deliberate.
Looking around she says, "I think it's pretty safe to say that we're done here then. This is the end of it and I didn't see any other tunnels as we were going through that might suggest other paths. I think we can go home now."
Walking over to Gashka she puts a hand lightly on her shoulder as her sister stares at the crumbled wall, "We did well and it's over now, so...are you okay and ready to go? I think we're all ready to get out of here and I know I could sure use a shower or something."
Gashka doesn't even flinch at the contact as she stares at the debris. Pointing at the wall she nods, "Yeah....we can't go any further and I think someone collapsed this on purpose....so at least we can let Kierk know that it's at least as safe as we can make it for now. Unless more of those creepy things burrow into the tunnels...I mean...they live underground...so I guess they could. I just...I really hate spiders." She kind of sighs before turning away from the wall, "Okay...let's get out of here. Chris, is there anything you can do for the little ratfolk to bring them around? If you think it's just exhaustion, I can just carry them out though."
Derika pats Gashka on the back as they head over to the others, "I know Sis, it's okay." Getting back to the others she gives Chris a smile, "Well...I guess it's a good thing you made all those potions Chris. I think we went through every single one of them on those buggers."
Chris shakes his head. "If I had smelling salts, I could do something. But I didn't prepare for fainting folk."
He smiles at Derika. "Glad to be of service."
Kyoga, the bird-like humanoid, looks at the wall for a moment. "Tik tik tik, I guess I can't go home."
Going over to the bird like creature she lowers herself a bit so she's not towering over them, "Can you tell me what happened? How did you end up here? We have people on the surface that might be able to get you back home, if we know where that is...we can at least try, but I just needed to know how you got here and if you knew anything about that wall?" She asks, trying to ascertain how they came to be here in the first place and if Kyoga knew the ratfolk.
Gashka nods, "It's alright, it doesn't look like she weighs very much, I can just carry her." Going over to the ratfolk person, Gashka very gently and carefully picks them up. At least they were able to save a couple people today, so the day was okay.
She nods, "Of course, of course. Sorry about that, sometimes my curiosity gets the better of me. Just follow us and we'll get you something to eat and then maybe you can tell us what happened. Just, when we get to the entrance of the mines, we have to talk to someone real quick, and then I promise...we'll definitely go eat." She says as she and Gashka with the ratfolk in her arms, start to head back out of the mines.
Kyoga yawns. "Tik tik tik, maybe food first, then we can talk. I'm starving."
"I like this plan."
Gashka remains a little quiet, unsettled by all the creepy crawlers they had to deal with and just ready to be out of there. They all head back to the surface together.
Vishanti studies the ratperson quietly, her eyes glowing with quiet power, determining her condition.
Anyka cleans her weapons and puts them away, giving the area a final scan for anything else useful.
Anyka doesn't find anything further in this area. Vishanti determines that the ratfolk is alive and healthy.
"They appear to be relatively fine. Alive and healthy, just unconscious, and probably a bit worn out." Vishanti says after checking out the ratfolk, as they head out.
You arrive back at the surface and notice Kierk looking up from some of his work at you. "'Ow'd it go?"
"There's nothing else down there now. It was a bunch of nasty spiders and it looks like they were nesting in this one large open area, but we destroyed all the sacs. There was a part of the wall in that final area that looked as if it collapsed, but it also looked like it was done on purpose somehow. We found these two in a couple of the sacs. We need to find a way to revive this one, she fainted on us, and we need to get them something to eat. I was going to see if Ryota had something that would help her, then we'll take them to get something to eat, and then I thought we'd take them to Barclay and see what can be done, if anything, about getting them home. Your mines should be cleared out completely now though." Gashka holds the ratfolk gently in her arms as she gives Kierk her report.
