Mikhail moves in front of Perrik and readies his shield and dagger, while trying to recall what he knows about giant spiders.

If I have darkvision would I be able to see what the creature is?

The creature is concealed by the webs currently. Not a matter of enough light.

Perrik prays and the Lady of Graves grants her blessing to guide your attacks.

The Leshy steps forward using magic to shock the hidden creature with an electric arc, while it hits it is only partially effective.

Mikhail moves and raises his shield. The Warpriest doesn’t recall any useful information about spiders.

Ultima and Goxomas are quicker than the creature but have yet to take any actions.

Tain is yet to roll initiative. +1 to the roll and if the total is greater than 10 you can act before the creature.

Note: Squares with webbing are difficult terrain and cost +5 movement.

Ultima will prepare her sling and load it.

That will be all of her actions this round.

Tain moves up next to Mikhail with sword out and shield raised pointing toward the spider.

”Do they hunt in packs? Groups? Mobs?” Tain whispers, trying to ascertain the correct collective noun for a group of spiders…

◆Stride
◆Raise Shield

Ultima draws and readies her sling.

Tain moves forward and raises his shield asking what a group of spiders are called.

Goxomas delays.

The black multi-legged creature the size of a person moves forward unhindered by the webs, It strikes Tain with a fang first getting past his shield then strikes Mikhail with the second fang strike also slipping past his shield. Both men feel woozy from the fang strike. (Tain & Mikhail roll a fortitude DC16 save. Also if you have any Reactions to take.)

Everyone is up to act!

"Oh, that's much bigger than I thought it would be!"

Celosia tries to zzorch it again with electric arc and moves back out of the way.

electricity: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Taking a swig of wine, Goxomas’ weaving failed to fool the eight-legged foe, but that doesn’t stop the Amurren from punching the spider twice.

Ultima strikes the creature with her sling to the side of its head. Following it up with an electric arc blast. The creature avoids the full blast.

Celosia blasts it with another electric arc. The spider is unable to dodge taking the full zapping power.

Having had too much the creature falls over with eight legs in the air dead.

Mikhail and Tain still need to make DC16 Fortitude to avoid the giant spider venom

Fortitude DC 16: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

Tain indeed feels temporarily woozy, and hurt, but the venom doesn’t seem to take hold. Mostly Tain seems to feel embarrassed - his effort to raise his shield failed to protect him, and he failed even to return a blow…

Waiting on the result of Mikhail's save.

Fortitude DC 16: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Mikhail takes a bite from the spider and feels the venom inject into him and take hold.

"I think that could have gone better, but I don't think I'm being called back to Pharasma just yet."

Celosia smacks the spider once more with her pointy implement, just in case. She'll take a look around to see if there's anything of value back in the webs.

Mikhail is stage 1 poisoned, takes 1d12 ⇒ 1 damage, and is flat-footed for 1 round. Fortunately, this spider’s poison is once and done.

Taking time to search the room the group spots a wrapped-up bundle of bones and dried skin that looks like it was some sort of small, reptilian creature. The bundle also contains a few items of value. The first is a shortsword that has a small emerald in the pommel. While the sword isn’t magical, the fine craftsmanship and precious gem make it worth 5 gp if sold. There is also a healing potion that restores 1d8 Hit Points instantly when consumed

Both Mikhail and Tain are injured.

Goxomas (19/19hp) (light-Mikhail)
Mikhail (9-1= 8/17hp)
Tain (14/18hp) (light-Perrik)
Perrik (15/15hp)

Perrik goes to work on Mikhail first, then Tain. Before starting he prays for guidance.

Medicine check to treat wounds on Mikhail, including guidance: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 1 = 14
Medicine check to treat wounds on Tain, including guidance: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 7 + 1 = 25

Minimum curing for a critical success will heal Tain fully, so I won't bother rolling. Mikhail, do you want to try to treat yourself while Perrik works on Tain?

Mikhail pulls out his healing kit and begins applying some bandages and herbs to his spider bite and manages to stop any oozing from the wound, but doesn't feel much better.

Treat Wounds: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

It wouldn't have helped in this case, but Perrik will cast guidance on anyone trying skill checks outside of combat. Ultima, you want to have a go at treating Mikhail?

Unfortunately Mikhail is immune to treat wounds for 50 minutes after the first attempt. "The target is then temporarily immune to Treat Wounds actions for 1 hour, but this interval overlaps with the time you spent treating." Effectively each additional treat wounds attempt adds an hour to your exploration time.

That's right; I'd forgotten.

After failing to treat Mikhail's wounds, Perrik calls on magic instead.

A single-target 2-action heal automatically cures at least 9 HP, so Mikhail should be fine.

Tain’s eyebrows raise as Perrik ministers to his bite.

”That is as useful skill you and Mikhail have. Given my…propensity…for combat, I really should learn how to do that.” Tain pesters Perrik by oeppering him with questions throughout the healing session.

The cleric takes the fusillade of questions in apparent good humor, though his bedside manner seems to be about to crack under the strain by the time he finishes.

"Thank you, Perrik, for the healing. I think that spider bite distracted me a bit." Mikhail says as the healing energy dissipates. Mikhail packs up his healing kit and settles his pack back on his shoulders. Gripping his shield he nods toward Tain and Gox, "Are we ready to continue on?"

Tain, having exhauseted his stock of healing and healing kit related questions gives a satisfied nod to Mikhail.

”Ready”

He moves forward, shield raised.

Who grabs the shortsword and healing potion found in the webs?

The group gathers their gear and continues deeper into the caves.

After the web-infested cave, the passageway leading deeper underneath the streets of Otari appears to be mostly natural, but someone, or something, has worked to open the cavern and level out the floor, making the passage easily traveled. A crude barricade made from old wooden planks and part of a barrel blocks the entrance to a side tunnel, while the main passage continues off into the gloom.

You have a few choices here. You can break through the barricade with a weapon or unarmed Strike, or you can attempt Crafting or Thievery to dismantle the barricade. You can also ignore the barricade and just keep heading up the main passage.

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Goxomas takes a swig from one of his jugs, and attempts to dismantle the barricade: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

"Wait, we should probably take....a look at that." Celosia trails off as Goxomas charges at the barricade.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

Celosia will take the healing potion, if no one else wants it. She isn't interested in the sword and probably can't carry it easily.

Perrik will carry the shortsword.

Before we continue, do any of us have an appropriate skill to Recall Knowledge about the body we found? If Perrik does, he'll try it.

Tain has some ranks in Nature and Survival, but I’m betting the mummified bundle of bones is a kobold or similar, so not sure what he might discern…also discovered he has a rank in Medicine! Thus the many, many questions posed…..!

Perception, DC 15: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

”Maybe that was blocked off…for a y’know…reason…” offers Tain, before trailing off weakly.

Ultima, Perrik, and Celosia recognize the body in the spider lair as a Kobold.

Goxomas quickly demolishes the barricade.

Both Celosia and Tain offer words of caution.

You hear the scrapping of stone and the crack of old wood giving way. Taking a quick look beyond the barricade, an old cavern corridor winds down into the earth, ending in an ancient burial vault lit by a strange torch with a blue flame. Alcoves line the walls, each one containing a rotten wooden coffin, while the center of the room has a raised platform holding a stone sarcophagus.

The noise of dismantling the barricade must have awakened the dead. You see five Skeletons standing up ready and one Zombie just finishing climbing out of the center stone sarcophagus.

******** Combat *******

Tain, Perrik, Ultima, and Mikhail act before the disturbed creatures.
The skeletons for some reason delay until the zombie moves.

Status: round 1

Zombie
Goxomas (19/19hp) (light-Mikhail)
Celosia (17/17hp) (dancing lights-Celosia)

Mikhail sees the zombie climbing out of the sarcophagus and a sound of disgust rumbles from him. "The undead are an affront to the Lady of Graves and must be put down!"

Raising his shield and holy symbol, Mikhail raises a quick prayer to Pharasma and a brillant beam of positive energy blasts from him into the zombie.

◆◆Disrupt Undead (Basic Fort Save DC 17)Positive Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
◆Raise Shield

Tain should be fully healed; Perrik had a critical success on his Medicine check.

Perrik strides forward and follows Mikhail's spell with an identical entreaty to Pharasma.

Stride-Castx2 (disrupt undead)

Positive energy damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Tain should be fully healed; Perrik had a critical success on his Medicine check. ...

Yes, Tain is fully healed. updated my notes.

Perhaps in an attempt to make up for his self-perceived “failure” against the spider, Tain rushes the zombie, slashing it with his blade.

◆ Stride ◆◆Power Attack

Skew!!!: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
Krumpfsh: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (7, 5) + 3 = 15

If that is a critical, does it do another dice of damage on top of the Power Attack extra die, or is it all doubled?!?

Ultima will move up, quicker than one would expect and will cast distupt undead at the zombie that Tain attacked
1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 positive damage

DC 17 Fort

Tain acted before everyone else, so if he one-shots the zombie Perrik will instead stride a little further and try to disrupt the nearest skeleton.

Mikhail is disgusted by the undead and invokes the power of Pharasma to strike down the undead. The Zombie seems to be weak to positive energy.

Perrik send another burst of Pharasma’s energy into the Zombie a moment later dealing more damage.

Tain steps up and expertly cut the zombie in two with one critical strike.

Ultima steps up redirecting her undead disrupting blast at the closes Green Skeleton which crumbles to dust.

Blue moves to attack Tain with a set of claw attacks wounding the fighter once.
Yellow also moves to attack Tain with two claws and also wounds the fighter once.
Orange moves from the alcove flanking Tain the blue skeleton as it attacks with two claws but misses both times.

The purple skeleton moves to attack Perrik with a set of claws striking the cleric once.

Celosia Note to maintain the dancing light during combat requires a sustained action.

Everyone may act now.

Tain grunts in pain, and after taking its measure, returns a thundering slash at one of the Blue, 4 skeletons…though perhaps he should have just swung with grit and determination…

Perrik hisses in pain as the skeleton connects. "It's time you went to your rest, old bones." He prays again, calling on hieratic power to strike his foe and preserve himself.

Castx2 (disrupt undead)-Cast (shield)

Mikhail, seeing Tain in trouble, moves up next to him and calls on Pharasma to preserve him!

◆◆Forbidding Ward on Tain and Blue Skeleton (+1 to AC against Skeleton 4(Blue))

With all the light in the room, Celosia stops focusing on the floaters and moves up towards the room. "Take that!" she whispers excitedly, casting electric arc on the ones with a blue helmet and the yellow sweater.

bzzzt!, basic Ref DC 17: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Drinking and fighting Goxomas stumbles up and critically smashes the Orange Skeleton sending pieces flying all over.

Grunting in pain, Tain doesn’t know much about skeletons only that they are harder to hit than he thought as his power attack misses the blue skeleton.

Perrik calls again upon Phrasma to strike down one of the skeletons. The Purple skeleton critically fails to resist Phrasma’s energy and turns to dust.

Mikhail moves up asking Pharasma to protect the fighter Tain from the undead.

Celosia moves into the room and sends a bolt of electricity into the blue and yellow skeletons. Both skeletons dodge part of the electric arc and seem resistant to the rest of the electrical damage.

Ultima is still up.

DC 17 Reflex

Ultima also shocks the two remaining skeletons with an electric arc. The first partially dodge the arc and then resists the rest of the damage. The blue Skeleton takes a full jolt of electricity but takes less than expected damage due to its natural resistance to electricity.

The yellow skeleton lashes out with its claws at the living hitting Goxomas with one claw and Tain with the second claw.

Blue also lashes out at the two living creatures near favoring the cleric of Pharasma. It hits Mikhail with the first claw and a critical hit with the last claw

The priest gasps at the severity of his fellow Pharasmin's terrible wound, then snarls at the remaining undead. "That's enough from you!" With a lengthy prayer, he sends a wave of positive energy over the party, healing for them but a bane to the skeletons.

3-action AoE heal: 1d8 ⇒ 5

Perrik prays to Pharasmim are answered as divine life energy washes over the party healing the living and hurting the undead. The blue skeleton crumbles to dust as the Yellow Skeleton looks worse for wear.
