Unnerved by the spider crawling on the ceiling towards them, Kwin cuts loose with some divine flame at it.
Sacred flame at the spider, damage radiant unless it makes a DC 14 reflex save.
Drusilla will move up closer to the SPider and with a word lights her sword on fire. She will then strike hard and fast at the spider
"Bite this!" Tarn yelled, as he sidestepped and swung his hammer up at the spider.
Badger turns his attention to the spider and hacks up at the spider killing it in one shot.
Drusilla magically cleans the rest of the webbing to reveal weathered, worthless furniture, but the table is still covered with charts and maps which are interesting but not relevant.
There's an open staircase heading down to the lower deck, just like the other staircase heading down from the captain's quarters in the aft.
"Time to go down, eh? What could go wrong with that." Tarn said. If nobody stopped him, then he was ready to take point heading straight down the open staircase to the lower deck.
"I think I hate spiders."
"They can swim, but Maybe those Spier Men made the spiders bigger." Drusilla says letting her sword light up
Tarn heads down the open the stairway from the Navigator's Room to the lower deck. Drusilla immediately follows him, then the rest of you.
The stairs run along the port side hull and opens into about a ten foot long, 5 foot wide hallway heading back toward the center of the ship. This area is not shrouded in sheets of webs, like the Navigator's Room was. There is only one other way out of the hallway, an doorway aft.
When Tarn passes through this doorway, he is immediately restrained by a freshly spun, difficult to spot web web which stretches across the doorway.
Two giant wolf spiders clinging to the ceiling on either side of Tarn try to bite him, but his chain mail and dancing prevents them tasting blood.
As Tarn struggles in the webbing, the two spiders continue to chow down trying to get to the delicious center of the dwarf and taste blood.
"Great hairy spiders." Badger springs toward the monsters and hacks away.
Tarn was fortunate to have two things going for him: plate armor and magical protection. Between the two of them, he came out of the ambush unscathed and with his hammer swinging.
The spiders splat quickly under immediate retaliation!
With the spiders dead and lying to either side of him, the small hallway heads toward the keel and a door (1) in front of him. When the dwarf follows his nose, he finds another hallway running along the keel. He sees a door at each end (2) (3) of the hallway running along the keel. He three more doors (4,5,6), the main mast running through the deck to the keel, and a wooden grate (7) covering the cargo hole in the middle of this deck's floor. The grate is badly rotted and covered in webs, and its unsafe nature is obvious.
Taking point, Tarn took a left into the hallway, and then opened the first door on the left. It seemed best to work his way around the north, to ensure that there was nothing that might come out from there and ambush them as they moved on.
Badger kept moving with the group trying to watch places that the others weren't. "That grate don't look safe."
Drusilla holds her blade up letting the light shine so all can see the area. As she does she focuses on her spells looking over the list and the necessary energies she has to throw at enemies.
Tarn turns left into the hallway and advances into the waiting embrace of another ettercap clinging to ceiling.
And swarms of spiders come literally out of the wood work to engulf all of you.
"Spiders!!"
"For f&*k's sake! I swear, next contract better better say we get paid an extra 100 gold for every f&^king spider we kill!"
Drusilla sighs and intones some words, as she does she sweeps her blade across as her other hand moved in quick and fast gestures four glowing missiles appear about her and strike the swarm.
DC 11 Con Check
Kwin tries to see a way to get up and help Tarn, but with the narrow space they are in, he instead tries to burn away some of the spiders on him.
Sacred flame, radiant damage unless it makes a DC 14 reflex save.
The etterclap lunged at Tarn, but recoiled as its claws became encase with ice. He responded but slamming the but of his hammer’s shaft into its face. No sooner did this happen that another swarmed engulfed him. Wherever they bit, though, his blood came out boiling due to his arcane powers, of which he had very little understanding of.
Blacklock, a tiny conga-line of spiders marching up his nostrils, grunted and turned to attack the swarm on Argyri...

The wounded ettercap slashes back at the dwarf.

”Fook!” Tarn cursed as he kept fighting, despite the horrible pain he was in. His hatred for Lloth on her minions grew by the minute.
Badger curses, not liking the situation. But keeps trying to kill spiders. Stabbing with his swords, sweeping them aside, stomping with his boots anything to hear and feel the crush of spider body.

"AAAAH! Uggh! Thanks, Bud!!" Argyri turns to Blacklock in relief as he swats a mess of tiny spiders off her chest.
She then steps back and attempts to skewer as many as she can on her rapier while poking another with her dagger.
Blacklock flopped around chaotically, punching himself in the face one more time for good measure as he somehow swatted a fraction of the things crawling over Argyri.
She then steps back and attempts to skewer as many as she can on her rapier while poking another with her dagger.
Drusilla begins to swing as she tries to move back and around to avoid most of the spiders jumping at her. She swings using the now de-illuminated blade with solid steel.
Kwin keeps looking ahead, seeing Tarn taking more and more punishment. Looking around for a way to help fight the insects, he notices that Blacklock too is taking terrible punishment as he stamps out hordes of spiders. He reaches out behind him and funnels divine energy into the young man.
Casting cure wounds with a first level slot on Blacklock. He is cured for damage.
The wounded ettercap slashes back at the dwarf and finally gets its jaws on the tender portion of the his neck!
And swarms of spiders move to engulf most of you.
Argyri keeps stabbing spiders. If she can clear them off of her with one strike, she'll move on to Blacklock's swarm with her next.
Kwin glances at his hand, puzzled. He could swear that he just healed Blacklock, but he appears to have just as many swollen welts as he did before the spell. He tries again, hoping to pull the streetfighter back from the brink.
Blacklock, another level 1 slot cure wounds, heals for .
Tarn stumbled back, a hand to his throat. Blood flowed far too quickly from the wound and he was already seeing spots. Using his two handed hammer with his other hand, he swung it just to make space as he retreated from the combat.

Badger Weasley his way up. Rushing shifting and rolling as needed to get Tarn. In his frantic rush he ends up slapping the dwarf on the back with healing power.
Drusilla growls and then falls into casting. her free hand and words flow, and in the end, she conjures four missiles of pure energy. With a final phrase the energy releases and veers off striking the swarms

Later sages would credit this moment for the invention of the jackhammer. For the body of Blacklock bounced up and down so vigorously, attacking 100 spiders in rapid succession all with the pointy end of his pegleg attacking directly from above.

Everyone scatters!
Badger's magic closed up Tarn's wound, for the most part. At the very least he was no longer in danger of bleeding to death. Without any way to retreat, he swung his massive have at the remaining swarms of spiders.
"Focus!" He yelled, remembering what he had been told when he went down to the mines as a youth. "Disrupt individual swarms to break 'em up. Make 'em scatter, so focus on this group!"
Argyri gasps with relief as Blacklock and she finally drive off the spiders that were swarming all over her. ""UUUGH!! Blacklock, you're a life saver.
She spins aside and--nodding to Tarn--attacks the swarm that seems closest to being disrupted.
