Descent into the Underdark

OOC:

While Bunt respects Thunder_Lungz's peaceful ways, Oliver had an alcohol flask ready to sling, and sling away he will.

"Aah! So many eyes!"

Oliver desperately slings an alcohol flask at one of the dog-sized spiders, and follows with another flask for the other spider.

"With so many eyes, I hope alcohol alone is irritating enough to stop them."

OOC:

Two actions: sling, and load-n-sling

Post-roll: te-he

Wait-! Grinfletch tries to recall what he knows about cave monster communication. If they don’t first attack, then there might be some other reason for their appearance…

Ishzu! Try moving around them and projecting a warning that we will start more fire if they don’t let us pass!

Grin picks up the torch, waves it once in the air and lights the loaded bolt in his crossbow with it. He also takes some bonus action movement forward towards the party.

slight chuckle , gung-ho to the rescue ?
Perhaps next time say something in character?
Some players will not respond to ooc in character for a more immersive role play. Also roll a test for better results. Just asking gets bare minimum

Grin is slightly confused. There are legends of intelligent spiders but this cave has dozens of species. The larger ones overhead are acting strange. . .

You see 2 missiles fly overhead missing all possible targets but splashing nearby, frightening Ishzu and Ander...

The spiders hiss and two rear on hind two sets of legs to spray webbing down onto those below
Oliver and Grin roll a save test to avoid being engaged on the web. If webbed you must break free as an action before doing anything else

The spiders move freely on the walls it is doubtful that Ishzu and Ander can out maneuver them

Ishzu ignores the spiders. Making sure his rope is secured he looks up and tries to see what is drawing the spiders. He keeps climbing.

Agh! Spiders! Who would’ve thought we’d have such horror here?! Oh wait-

Gathering knightly nerves, Ander continues cavalieric climb!

OOC:

Can I reach one with my sword while climbing? If not, then disregard the roll please.

Grin and Oliver both become entangled by the sticky mass of webs that fall on them while Ishzu tries to get past the spiders who harass him, preventing him from getting near a specific location of the cave. While this is going on Ander ascends next to the crystalin companion and getting a firm grip pulls and thrusts his sword in 1 swift motion, killing a spider. The other 2 spiders instantly move to assault Ander biting at him twice.

Psybermagi sent a note to WhiteDwarf,Smiley

Grinfletch rips and wriggles himself free of the webs and fires his flaming crossbow bolt at the area where Oliver slung the alcohol. He shouts, it looks like…Ander, move around the specific area they are protecting and maybe they will withdraw or risk leaving it unprotected!

Ishzu releases his grip on the rope and drops as stiff as a stone on the rope. He hangs there, swinging back and forth.

Ander swingscwifely with TrustySwprd. Even as scary spiders strike back!
Aaahhhh….!
It is perhaps only through knightly valor, or valorous knightliness, that Ander is able to reach gauntleted hand to sticky strands just in time. Perhaps avoiding lethal tumble into cavernous darkness!

"Gahh! Sticky... Web!"
Oliver wiggles free, and tries once more to sling an alcohol flask at one of the spiders who bit Ander.
"Here comes an eyesore!" For the spider, hopefully.

OOC:

I know we don't usually count ammunition, but I am counting the number of alcohol flasks left in Oliver, as that's slightly different (and I'd rather have them be limited): he had 10 and has so far slung 5

good point… I’ll count mine too. @WhiteDwarf , does Ander have weapon proficiency? If so, he should roll 3d6, right?

Should he? lol I prolly should’ve-read the rules, I think I kinda got Weapon Mastery w/o realizing it. I’ll check it out, and will roll it here just in case.

Grin ignites the area to the right of the climbers, illuminating the area and burning some of the remaining webbing of the higher reaches. Ishzu is stunned and talls, cracking his shoulder and back against the wall as the rope stops his fall but not his momentum Ishzu takes 1 damage from falling. . Though Ander is slightly shocked the spiders prove more bothersome than the assault of his mind, which is filled with thought of bravery, valor, and victory over his opponents. Oliver aims and land the oil just above one of the spiders that is immediately drenched in the combustible fluid. It hisses in protest and Ander, whom they are grappling from above is similarly covered in the fluid as well though less so as much of it landed on the spider.

OOC:

Ander has mastery with the sword but 2d6 is a crit hit so no advantage over that incredibly lucky strike. Thanks for reminding about his 3rd dice.
Tracking limited resources is a good idea. Thank you for doing so.
no proficiency attacks with disadvantage 1d6
weapon proficiency is basic test 2d6
weapon mastery is with advantage 3d6

As these are small flasks I am saying that each can only cover 1 normal creature, it will not burn for too long, and does not damage directly upon impact. As stated earlier these spiders are bigger. You do not need the burning area affects to target them.
As the spiders are small and Ander is below them . . . 1 of the spiders and Ander are now flammable, congratulations :)
p.s. Ander should be cautious of the flames to his right for the next bit.

Ander and Ishzu can still act this round

Using an action to maintain his heightened position, Ander uses another action to swipe at another arachnid pest with TrustySword! Which is accidentally typed as one word, and…looks neat!

Ishzu ignores the spiders. He keeps climbing hoping to get back to where he was before. "Keep them off me as best as you can." The others hear in their heads.

OOC:

Evade and CLIMB!
