Chapter 1 - The Red Waterfall

[OOC: Okay, which one of you will get the blessing from Ewan?]

The descent down towards the village is quite steep so you proceed with the utmost caution among the loose rocks and silty soil. After 20 meters or so the barren field gives rise to a pine forrest. The trees stretch hundreds of feet into the air and block out most of the bright sunlight. Ewan crouches slightly and sneaks quietly further into the wood, the pleasant smell of pine filling his nose. Kicsi follows close behind, glancing over her shoulder every few seconds to ensure nothing sneaks up behind them.

It wasn't what was behind that should have concerned you however. As Ewan pushed his way through one patch of the thick evergreen branches he froze in his steps. A few paces in front of him crouched a giant 8 legged monstrosity. It's fangs sunk deep into the web covered body of what you gather is a raccoon. As Ewan releases his hands from the branches, the spider's many eyes look in your direction. You hold your breath but the spider does't make a move...yet.

The spider seems startled and moves back slightly giving Ewan and Kicsi the first strike.

OOC: It will take Mac and Ghelin a minute to make their way to the scene, assuming there is any reason for them to think they need to get there!

OOC: It looks I forgot to mention that the spider is almost 10 feet across from front to end and nearly 5 feet tall. You can try whatever you'd like!

Kicsi slips back into the shadows of the branches as Ewan charges in, glaive held high. The spider rises up and with its front legs, parries aside the glaive. A stream of webs comes flying out of the space below the spider's head narrowly missing Ewan as the tiefling crashes to the ground at the feet of the spider.

OOC:

Round 2

1. Good guys
2. Spider

The spider turns towards Kicsi just as the dart embeds itself into its left eye stalks. It shrieks in pain and stumbles back.

[OOC: The critical hit will put the spider at disadvantage next attack! Good roll.]
