Fury just flies right by the spider, almost comically. Pyros severly wounds one of the spiders besetting him.

Just Faerin left, then Amiri.

With the spiders closing in before she has time to cast a spell, Faerin calls upon her newly expanded connection to the plant world, her fists thickening and gaining the density of a great oak, wicked thorns springing from her knuckles as she hammers the oncoming spider with a devastating punch.

"Wham! Splat!"

Faerin critically wounds the spider attacking her.
Lol, Amiri is now coated in spider guts as she explodes another spider.

There are 6 spiders left; two on pyros (one of which is severly wounded), one on everyone else except Amiri (the ones on Harrim and Faerin are also critically wounded).

Round 2
Only Pyros is wounded, and only for 4 hp.

Faerin: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
Pyros: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
Pyros: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Valerie: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Reg: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

confirm vs Harrim: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Only Harrim is hit this time.

Everyone is up.

Charging another spider, since I go after everyone else pick a tactical target for me after they go GM!

Attack Roll(2 higher if I can charge): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17
Gunch: 2d8 + 19 ⇒ (1, 8) + 19 = 28

Pyros attempts to finish off the spider he had previously wounded.
Attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16
Damage, Magical Slashing: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

Valerie is frustrated, Defensive stance with +1 Bastard sword +11, +2 AC, 1d10 +7, 19-29, x2 Raising AC to 30
1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12
1d10 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
Valerie is more frustrated.

Pyros finishes off the spider he wounded.
Harrim attempts to do the same.
1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
And he succeeds.

Maintaining the natureborne enhancement to her fists, Faerin strikes another powerful blow to the fey spider attacking her.

Wooden fist: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26
1d4 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Confirm
Wooden fist: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
1d4 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

You approach the top of the hill. As you near the stones, you feel/see a shimmering and suddenly strange lush plants appear all around. Faerin immediately recognizes tham as First World flora. Just as suddenly, giant spiders attack from all sides. There appear to be several different types of spiders.

I'll have a map up tomorrow along with initiatives. Anyone can make additional Know(Nature) checks to determine what they are. I will let Faerin know what she knows as soon as anyone else is done rolling.

Any additional information from the knowledge checks?

@ Faerin - These are just giant aspects of various spiders you know (all poisonous). They are garishly colored though, indicating they have come from the First World.

Faerin also kills her spider.

If I have my own target Fury & I attack that, otherwise, Harrim's

MM DMG: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (2, 4) + 2 = 8 2 Missles
SLAM: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 261d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3Small Elemental Slam.

Might want to confirm that slam, Reg.

If I have my own target Fury & I attack that, otherwise, Harrim's

2 Magic Missles
Small Elemental Slam (Nat20)

SLAM: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15 Confirm Crit - Small Elemental Slam.

Reg and Fury combine to do 11 damage to the spider facing him.
Btw, Reg, you can't back up anymore as you are running into others, so you need to either cast defensively or provoke AoOs

1d2 ⇒ 2
Amiri kills the spider on Reg. That takes care of Reg's backing up problem.

Round 3

As you face down the last spider, three more poratls open near you and three more spiders, looking much stranger, advance out and attack.

spider vs Valerie: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
It misses *surprise*

1d6 ⇒ 3
1d5 ⇒ 4
1d4 ⇒ 4

They attack Pyros, Harrim, and Valerie.

Pyros: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
Harrim: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
Valerie: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13
And they prove to be just as pathetic as their smaller brethern.

Everyone is up!

Valerie's face is grim with concentration. Somehow, the look and the sweat of battle is beautiful on her. She focuses on her training, swinging defensively. Defensive stance with +1 Bastard sword +11, +2 AC, 1d10 +7, 17-20, x2 Raising AC to 30
1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13
1d10 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

Amiri goes wheeling around, charging at one of the bigger spiders
Spider Smack(+2 if I can charge): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26
Blurch!: 2d8 + 19 ⇒ (7, 7) + 19 = 33

Pyros advances, moving to flank a spider, and attacks. I doubt Amiri needs the help, so I'll flank with Valerie or Harrim if possible.

Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26+2 from flank if applicable.
Damage, Magical Slashing: 1d8 + 13 ⇒ (7) + 13 = 20

Having a moment without a spider in her face, Faerin begins a druidic chant, reaching out beyond the planar barriers herself and calling to The Evergrove, a source of Primal Natural power to call upon a creature of the wild to aid them in this fight.

Burn Earth Tremor, for Summon Nature's Ally 3 (Celestial Dire Boar) Will appear behind Valerie (or Harrim...whichever Pyros doesn't flank with)

Valerie continues to miss, but she also is distracting two of them.

Amiri again hits hard, but this spider is much tougher and doesn't die outright.

Pyros, one of the new spiders attacked you so you can't move to flank
Pyros hits the spider that just emerged from the second set of portals.

Harrim attacks the spider that just attacked him.
1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
But his mace glances harmlessly off og the spider's carapace.

All we need is Regongar now

Spider Attacking Pyros

MM DMG: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (4, 4) + 2 = 10 2 Missles

SLAM: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16 Confirm Crit - Small Elemental Slam.
SLAM: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (4, 1) + 2 = 7 Crit DMG - Small Elemental Slam.

Reg and Fury combine to kill the last remaining small spider that was still attacking Pyros.

Round 4
There is a wounded new spider on Pyros and Valerie each. The other new spider is untouched and attacking Harrim. There is also one unwounded small spider on Valerie. Any unengaged people can easily move into flanking positions.

The spiders continue their relentless assault.
Valerie: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
Valerie: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
Pyros: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
Harrim: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

lol, the only one I get a good roll against is Valerie, whose AC is so high I need a 20

Well, that was underwhelming.

Everyone can go again.

Despite her frustration, Valerie continues to fight defensively. Defensive stance with +1 Bastard sword +11, +2 AC, 1d10 +7, 17-20, x2 Raising AC to 30
1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14
1d10 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
These dice ... They hate me.

As Faerin completes her spells swirling vortex of most and leaves reveals a massive biar, hide bristling with shimmering fur as it charges into the larger of the two spiders attacking Valerie from behind.

Celestial Dire boar/charge/Flank: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 8 + 2 = 19
Gore: 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (3, 4) + 9 = 16

Turning her attention to the spider attacking Pyros, she utter a staccato sputtering chant, conjuring up a roiling miniature thunderstorm that she directs into the the giant first world arachnid

Aggressive Thundercloud: 3d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 2) = 6 DC18 Reflex negates

Hah! This one didn't break in one hit! Weakened it up for one of you though!" Amiri, totally uncaring about the AoO she'll provoke from the spider near her charges the one attacking Harrim. Gotta give the DM some more to hit rolls after all, and protect the cleric!

Big Spider Softener +2 if charge: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 33
Arachnid Assault Confirmation +2 if charge: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (18) + 13 = 31
Too much damage: 4d8 + 19 + 19 ⇒ (2, 4, 1, 3) + 19 + 19 = 48
Yeez. Anyone remember her crit bark?

Valerie and her two opponents continue to flail away at each other with no results :)

Faerin's boar damages the big spider on Valerie.

1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
lol
Amirir departs the fray with Pyros and charges the new spider on Harrim. She explodes yet another, coating herself and Harrim in green and black goo.

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
Faerin's thundercloud damages the spider on Pyros some more.

As Faerin's thundercloud occupies the spider's attention, Pyros lunges forward, almost before he knows he's doing it.

Attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16
Damage, Magical Slashing: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

Pyros's blade glances harmlessly off of the bigger spider's tough carapace.

Harrim turns his attention to the spiders attacking Valerie, giving a quick nod of appreciation to Amiri. He goes for the small spider.
1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
and he wounds it slightly.

That just leaves Regongar.

MM DMG: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (3, 1) + 2 = 6 2 Missles
SLAM: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 261d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 Small Elemental Slam

SLAM: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26 Confirm Crit - Small Elemental Slam.
SLAM: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (1, 2) + 2 = 5 Crit DMG - Small Elemental Slam.

Wish I could claim to understand how this is happening ... I guess Fury was just upset that his first attack was "dice shamed" so he's making up for it

Attacking the spider on Pyros

Reg's first MM kills the spider on Pyros. His second MM and Fury's combine to kill the small spider on Valerie.

All that's left is the bigger spider on Valerie.

Round 5
Just as you think you are almost finished, several new portals open and more spiders emerge. This time, you can also see a female figure behind them, some sort of Fey. There are three more off the bigger spiders as well as one new type of spider that seems to be blurred.

Amiri: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19
Harrim: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
Regongar: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

Both Amiri and Reg are hit.
damage vs Amiri: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
damage vs Reg: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

The blurred spider makes a beeline for Pyros.
1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19
He misses.

The Fey casts a spell.
Amiri, make a Will sv vs mind affecting, enchantment, compulsuion.

The summoned boar continues to tear into the large spider attacking Valerie, it's vicious tusks ripping through the spider's abdomen.

Celestial Dire boar/Flank (vs Valerie's big spider): 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 8 + 2 = 23
Gore: 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (5, 4) + 9 = 18
Round 2 of 5

Directing the roiling thundercloud to engulf the blurred spider that just rushed Pyros, the High Druidess draws a thorn, speaking a druidic phrase as she imbues it with primal magic, extending into a wickedly barbed javelin in her hands.

Even as she does, her eyes lock onto the spellcasting fey woman, trying to determine the intended effect of her magic.

Damage, Magical Slashing: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

Pyros continues his defensive slashing at the new spider attacking him.

I'm guessing I need to roll a miss chance due to the blurring.
Miss Chance: 1d100 ⇒ 33

If Valerie can make it to the fey figure, she'll take the AoO from the spider and concentrate on her, if not she'll stay on the spider, circling to flank.
Defensive stance with +1 Bastard sword +11, +2 AC, 1d10 +7, 17-20, x2 Raising AC to 30

I'm guessing I need to roll a miss chance due to the blurring.
[dice=Miss Chance]1d100

Yes, 20% mmiss chance.

Faerin, you need to overcome the blurred spider's SR

Faerin's boar tears a deep gash in the spider on Valerie.
Valerie, seeing no path to the Fey woman, attacks the spider on her as well, greivously wounding it.

Pyros misses the blurred spider that is attacking him.

Harrim attacks the new spider that attacked him.

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
And lands a solid hit.

CL check vs SR: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

-2 damage from DR already included?

Will save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8 Oh dear

No, I don't count the DR until you tell me, so subtract it.

Faerin's spell fails to damage the spider.
Amiri suddenly freezes in place.

So the spider definitely hit Amiri. Also, since you are up now, Amiri, you can make another Will save as a full round action to break out of the Hold Person

Reg, you are the only one left to go.

Attacking Amiri's spider ...

MM DMG: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (2, 3) + 2 = 7 2 Missles
SLAM: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 131d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 Small Elemental Slam

Reg. you realize there is a spider on you now? Are you casting defensively?

After I get Reg's reply, the following happens

Round 6

Amiri, you are first with that Will Save again (don't forget, you have a +1 trait bonus to Will saves vs mind affecting effects).

Reg. you realize there is a spider on you now? Are you casting defensively?

I did not, and I thought I read everything.

Had me worried there it was something real nasty!

Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Makes up for earlier I guess!

Amiri, you can still maintain rage while held. I have your Will save at +6 while raging vs a Hold Person. Still fails though.

The spiders continue their assault. Fortunately for Amiri, the one on her is mindless, so no coup de grace.

Amiri: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
Valerie: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
Regongar: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
Harrim: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19
Pyros: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 33
confirm crit: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

This time the spiders do much better, fortunately for Pyros, the Doom Spider just misses critting him.

damage vs Amiri: 1d8 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 4 - 2 = 6
damage vs Regongar: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
damage vs Pyros: 2d6 + 10 ⇒ (5, 4) + 10 = 19

Pyros finds out the hard way that the Doom Spider hits hard.

OK, everyone is up except Amiri. Open the status button at the beginning of Round 6 to see who has a spider and it's condition.

Harrim, seeing everyone get hit, channels instead of attacking.

3d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 4) = 11

Oops, I forgot the Fey sorcerer

She again casts a spell, Valerie, make a Will save (again against Hold Person).

Eyes taking in the chaos of the battlefield, Faerin mentally directs the thundercloud to once again attack the spider that viciously wounded Pyros

Aggressive Thundercloud: 3d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 1) = 9
Caster level check: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
DC 18 Reflex
Round 3/5

The boar meanwhile presses the attack on the spider, seeking to rend the giant arachnid apart.

Celestial Dire boar/Flank (vs Valerie's big spider): 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 8 + 2 = 16
Gore: 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (6, 1) + 9 = 16
Round 3/5

Deeming the fey woman the greatest threat, Faerin begins another druidic chant ending in a shout as a burst of of barbed, acid-filled nettles erupts around the spellcaster.

Burst of Nettles (acid damage): 3d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 2) = 13
Next round (Acid): 1d6 ⇒ 6

Burst of nettles is a 10ft radius centered on fey caster so may get a couple spiders as well. The following round damage will force a concentration check DC 16 + LEVEL OF SPELL being cast If she tries casting another spell

Let me know if I need to roll a CL check against her as well

Oops, I forgot the Fey sorcerer

She again casts a spell, Valerie, make a Will save (again against Hold Person).

will save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

You see that Valerie is suddenly frozen as well.

Faerin, what's the DC for your Nettles spell?
