Tannakin, after her 14 seek check, redoes her turn, deciding to call encouragement to her friends.
"You're doing great, sis! Can you see where those dang spiders went?"
"I recommend throwing stuff at 'em, Leo!"
They are very, very encouraged. And Tan has panache for later, if she needs it.
Round 2!
Sansaárë struggles to free herself from the webs!
Tannakin also has some difficulty and the 1/2 elf quietly contemplates her decisions in her life....
Watching the spider, Leo tells his trusty mount, "Holdest very still Ambrose" Leo refreshes his shield as he points at the chair again, he gathers it with his Telekinetic Projectile and flings it at the spider.
Round 3!
With the thick spider webbing in the way, Leo's chair flies through the room like an arrow in honey!
As the enemies retreat, Julirl concentrates on his prayer to extend Iomedae's blessing.
He then searches for the spider amongst the webs.
"Above the eastern door!" he ◆Points Out.
Tannakin nimbly pulls her boots out of the webbing.
"You free, Airi?"
Frowning as his chair-projectile gets snagged on multiple webs and falls to the floor, Leo turns his attention towards his taller associates. Realizng they were fairly entangled in the webs, he informs his trusty mount, "Ambrose, they are't stuck, verly we must help." Waiving his hands, Leo starts to use prestidigitation to pull webs from the armored Julril, while Ambrose starts to lick the webs off of Tannakin's boots.
Sansaárë starts to struggle to try to get out of the web.
Yes I am finally out. Thanks sis for asking. We need to clean some of this out so we can get through without getting stuck again and then we pursue them. What do you guys think?
Sansaárë then starts to look around at all of it.
With the quiet calm in the room, our Heroes find themselves inundated by thick webs covering every surface--wall to wall and floor to ceiling.
Sansaárë, Tannakin and Julril (with a little help from a friend) remove the sticky strands of stretched and steel-like webbing from themselves.
Peering about, they begin to plan some sort of web removal company concept....
"Normally, I'd burn these, but I think we need this house."
Tannakin pulls out her long spoon looted from the kitchen. She gets a big gob of webbing stuck to it, then starts swirling it around until it's like cotton candy.
Seeing Tanakin begin to clean the cobwebs out of the corners, Leo continues using prestidigitation to push the webs back out of the way of his friends. Asking, "Shalt we clean all of yon cobwebs, or only enough to clear a way?"
Sansaárë looks at all the webs and shakes her head.
There are 2 possible sollutions for us.
1)We gets lots of buckets of water, and burn it all.
2)Someone that can use a Wind spell would hasten any progress.
These two would be most helpful than trying to get through these webs.
We also need to search this room to see if there is anything useful in here to help us with the spider and anything else that may be in here. Then we can go after the spider.
Sansaárë looks at everyone, then walks out of the room.
Tan yawns, stretches, and follows Airi, whether to gather buckets or to venture deeper into the house.
Julril follows after the spider.
Distracted with cleaning the cobwebs, Leo is oblivious to what the others are doing. But Ambrose keeps looking from Julril to Tannakin and Airi, trying to figure out who to follow.
Out of the Frying Pan and Into the Fire!
With webs tickling and taunting our Heroes, they decide to press on! The group begins making their way semi-blindly through the thick webbing to where Julril seen the Spider escaping.
Taking painstakingly long, but ever determined, they push, swat, twist, shake their way through the room and out into a hallway also thick with webbing, although both Sansaárë and Tannakin can see that it becomes less thick just in front of them.
The door being open to her North, Sansaárë takes a frustrating peek inside.
A tangle of cobwebs fills this room, obscuring the details of the bed and table within.
Juril notices another door just to his South, but it is closed.
Tannakin notices a slight banging, thumbing coming from ahead....
Leo (and Ambrose) sneeze and itch from the invasion webbing!
"There's something thumping up ahead!"
Tannakin draws and loads her hand crossbow, moving with it and her rapier both at the ready.
"This crossbow-sword combo looks pretty badass, amiright?"
"Looking great Tan. Keep sharp everybody."
Julril moves cautiously moves forward with shield raised.
"Lots of thumping in the room to the right. Noisy little home we have."
Sneezing loudly from the webbing, Leo rubbed tears from his eyes. Drawing Ambrose to a stop, "Tis thumping? Does't thou thing we shoulds't explore it?"
Sansaárë looks at her sister.
Shall we go in to see what's inside or keep on looking for the spider?
She then draws out her weapon and raises her shield.
I'm ready. What about you guys?
Our Heores hear noises coming from both ahead and inside and behind a door. There is also the lost spiders to consider. Where did they go? What will our Heroes decide to do?
"Our feathered serpent friend asked us to clear the spiders, let's stay on task."
I'm ready. What about you guys?
As Sansaárë asks her seemingly easy question, Leo's eyes grow wide in concern as Ambrose wags his tail and begins to prance about. Clearly showing that the pixie and his mount are of two separate minds.
Keeping the anxious pup in the rear, Leo asks Julril, "Perchance yon banging tis more spiders?"
The banging, rattling is getting g seemingly closer. Also, the banging, clattering is a bit more persistent behind the door....
Sansaárë nods to Julril. The Rogue takes a peek into the immediate room covered in spider webs.
Looks like a good place to start.
Ambrose does indeed pay attention to the immediate room covered in spider webs. He seems to be growling a bit at the room.
Leo gets distracted by a particular thread of webbing that one may say resembles a tiny dancer.
Tannakin does notice the sounds of banging, shuffling sounds approaching from ahead....the creaking and cranking form of a skeleton rounds the corner!
Julril stays on task and the cleric seems ready to back up the rogue in her endeavor.
Sansaárë peers carefully into the spider web infused room to hear the unmistakable sounds of skittering and scattering of many legs! Suddenly, the many-eyed face of a scary and hairy creature is face to face with her!
Reaction Trigger A creature touches the web lurker's web while the web lurker is on it. Requirement: Initiative has not yet been rolled. Effect: The web lurker automatically notices the creature and Strides or Climbs before rolling initiative.
Round 1!
The unmistakable sounds of many legs creeping in the direction of Sansaárë mature into the form of the Web Lurker!
It smiles wickedly at our poor Rogue, licking its lips before trying to take a juicy bite!
poison Saving Throw: Fortitude DC 19; Maximum Duration: 10 rounds; Stage 1: [[1d6]] (1d6) poison and flat-footed (1 round); Stage 2: [[1d6]] (1d6) poison, flat-footed, and slowed 1 (1 round).
Apparently, it had (all!) its eyes closed and bit the door frame!
Ever determined (his parents taught him to be persistent), the Web Lurker (all eyes wide open) attempts the biting thing again!
poison Saving Throw: Fortitude DC 19; Maximum Duration: 10 rounds; Stage 1: [[1d6]] (1d6) poison and flat-footed (1 round); Stage 2: [[1d6]] (1d6) poison, flat-footed, and slowed 1 (1 round).
With the disappointment apparent on his fuzzy face, the Web Lurker decides to ◆retreat back into the web shrouded room!
As Ambrose growls towards the door Sansaárë is looking in, Leo notices the skeleton coming around the corner. "Oh Bother." Turning back and looking over his shoulder Leo refreshes his shield as he points at the broken chair in the dinning room. Gathering one of the broken legs with his Telekinetic Projectile and flings it down the hallway at the skeleton.
Tannakin waits eagerly to see if there's any unlife left in those old bones after that impressive chair-legging of their skeletal foe.
Tannakin is happy to see bits and pieces of former animated skeleton being haphazardly displayed amongst the decor!
Sansaárë seems to freeze in place at the sudden springing surprise of the Web Lurker!
There are sounds of skittering inside the Web room!
Tan seeks:
She speaks: "It's in there, over there right there in the room"
She shoots:
She shrugs.
She shouts:
"Airi! Remember to stab towards the middle of the spider, you'll do eight times more damage than if you hit it in the leg!"
"Excellent Leo!"
With the skeletal threat eliminated, Julril steps past the stunned Airi to take down her attacker.
Sansaárë seemingly a bit startled ◆Strides into the web room to Strike at the Spider!
The Rogue tries to Feint the spider!
She then tries to stick it in an eye!
Round 1!
With a furious ruckus, Leo tosses perfectly good (if a bit dusty with webs) furniture haphazardly about! It totally crushes the skeleton that was innocently rounding the corner to greet his new guests!
Tannakin decides to take a quick peek, sees the spider and let loose a bolt at its leg!
The swashbuckler then offers Julril a bit of her 2 cents on the matter of killing spiders.
Julril (being more educated on matters of spiders) Strides confidently inside the web filled room (mouth, ears, nose, hair,...) and flaming swords the thing!
Sansaárë (having been already introduced and aware of said spider) decides to have her own fun by striding into the web room (mouth, ears, nose, hair,...) and fakes out a being with many eyes and stabs only (but precisely) one of them!
The spider falls (slowly through the thick webbing) to land with a squish and a splatter (boots!) onto the floor!
Round 2!
Suddenly amidst the commotion and tomfoolery, out of the opposite corners like Mike Tyson and that one guy with a missing ear, is another Giant Spider and the Web Lurker!
Both maneuver into a Flanking position (after some chittering from the Web Lurker at the spider) and attempt to fang the Rogue!
posion Saving Throw: Fortitude DC 19; Maximum Duration: 10 rounds; Stage 1: [[1d6]] (1d6) poison and flat-footed (1 round); Stage 2: [[1d6]] (1d6) poison, flat-footed, and slowed 1 (1 round).
Smiling with dirty fangs, he tries again!
posion Saving Throw: Fortitude DC 19; Maximum Duration: 10 rounds; Stage 1: [[1d6]] (1d6) poison and flat-footed (1 round); Stage 2: [[1d6]] (1d6) poison, flat-footed, and slowed 1 (1 round).
The Giant Spider (being quite impressed with his boss) attempts to follow suite!
And just because his boss is watching!
Julril shouts a prayer and extends his sword point to touch Airi's fallen form, "Iomedae heal this soldier on the field of battle!"
Then he swings his sword for the spider.
"Leo, throw a chair this way!"
