ROUND THREE
Morik dances away from the spider sucking on Adran's blood, as Adran stabs Spider Sue again and again, dealing the monstrous beast 6 piercing damage! Gunter continues to organize the fire suppression efforts. Princess hums a little tune then sings some words in her surprisingly clear, pure voice. Adran recovers strength and determination (Adran regains 6 HP). Elowin leaps down from the wagon and rushes forward to Bramlin's side. Relieved the still feel a faint pulse, she imparts the divine energy of the gloaming into the fighter, and his eyes snap open again (Bramlin regains 4 HP). The fighter staggers to his feet and swings his sword in a great arc. The familiar play of muscles gets his heart pumping again, and he gains his second wind (Bramlin regains 5 more HP). Leaping forward to rejoin Adran in battle, Bramlin cleaves Spider Sue, which takes 9 slashing damage, and falls into two gory pieces.
As the combat ends, the last flames sizzle and go out. The party has defeated the giant spiders, no one died, and Dugal's wagon was spared from destruction. Jalon is upset that a lot of the food burned, but Dugal is very pleased with the party's quick actions to save the horses, each other, and his wagon. "We'll just have to forage a bit more, that's all!" he says, "It would've been a hard thing to have lost the wagon or any of the horses; we'd have had to split the remaining supplies and people to the other wagons, which would've slowed our pace." kar'Javon looks alarmed, and Dugal chuckles. "I said it would've slowed our pace. No, don't worry, kar, we'll get you to Grayhaven on schedule." Swelvie checks in with each party member, making sure they're well, offering an encouraging smile and a swig of liqueur from a flask. "Very impressive!" pipes the small voice of the halfling sage, Findal. Even Belany frowns a little less.
Gavath is able to cut the horse free, and spends the next hour or so combing, feeding, and calming her. He has time, because the rest of the caravan is down with swords and knives cutting the way through the rest of the invisible silk lines blocking the roadway.
Finally, though, the way is clear, and the party is able to continue. What do you do over the next few days as the road continues between the two forests?
