Good thing you had that boon, haha! The arrow would've outright broke in Wolfram's hand otherwise.
OOC:
Right?

With two of the spiders dispatched, Tzal targeted the one Gabalan was currently engaged to. He formed another of the fuming globule and lobbed it towards the spider.
OOC:
@Windyridge I think @TheForsakenEvil is mentioning the critical failure rule. Also, the jinx is complete now.

So I'm unconscious, but no longer poisoned!

Silver linings!

Gabalan and Lauretta team up to take down another spider, leaving just one remaining. Unfortunately, neither Wolfram nor Tzal are able to hit it. The final arachnid snaps at Wolfram!
OOC:
Barring intervention from R3N-L3, Wolfram takes 3 damage and must make a Strength challenge roll with 1 bane or become poisoned. If R3N-L3 takes the hit instead, the poison won't affect him as it only affects creatures of flesh and blood.

@Lcythas may act now.

Rolls

Fangs vs Wolfram - (d20+2+d6)

(20) + (5) + 2 = 27

Damage - (d6)

"Ack!" A bite lands and sinks into his skin. The idea of being poisoned weighs heavily on the wounded man.

Rolls

Strength - (1d20-1)

(12) - 1 = 11

Bane - (1d6)

(5) = 5

When the last arachnid snapped at Wolfram, R3N-L3 plunged into the path of the attack, the fangs sinking into the automaton's neck. However, the venom didn't seem to be absorbed, merely trickling off harmlessly. Undaunted, R3N-L3 plunged his blade towards the sole remaining spider, ignoring his new wound.
OOC:
R3N-L3 will elect to take Wolfram's hit, 3 damage taken.

Attack with Blade - (1d20+4+1d6)

R3N-L3's blade scrapes harmlessly against the stone floor as the spider sidesteps.
OOC:
Round 3 begins. Anybody who wishes to take the initiative may act now.

With just one left for these bigger spiders, Tzal pointed with his staff at the last one, hoping he wouldn't miss again.
OOC:
Taking initiative and using corrosive globule. Will 10 hit for agility?

Wolfram thanks the automaton and feels strange saying it, but now he focuses on the remaining spider.

"Time to change tactics!"

Wolfram unsheathes his dagger and lunges forward, hoping to sink it deeply into the spider's carapace.

Rolls

Dagger Attack/Damage - (1d20-1, 1d6)

1d20-1 : (14) - 1 = 13

OOC:
@Windyridge I believe you can use your Agility for attacking with your dagger. It's the Nimble trait.
The sound of a body collapsing next to her garners a sideward glance from Lauretta. Flames that had wreathed Aazim's body now dissipated harmlessly into the air as embers. Losing a comrade was always a shocking thing. Her expression hardened as her rage and revulsion detached themselves, leaving only the focus of trained discipline. All that was left was to cleave this last creature in two.
OOC:
Factoring in a second boon from surrounded thanks to Wolfram and R3N-L3.

Rolls

Axe - Attack - (1d20+3+2d6h1)

(14) + (64) + 3 = 23

Axe - Damage - (4d6)

(6321) = 12

Axe - Brutal Reroll - (1d6)

(3) = 3

Axe - Total Damage - (6+3+2+3)

R3N-L3 and Tzal both miss the spider, but Wolfram and Lauretta score solid hits, slaying the giant bug!

If you take the time to examine the strange lumps in this room, you find each is a broken and dismantled humanoid made from metal, odd-looking, with limbs that end in tool appendages.
OOC:
The poison is supposed to render Aasimar unconscious for 8 hours, but I’ll say you can wake up with with 10 minutes of medical attention thanks to Tzal’s alchemical prowess. That way he won’t have to miss the rest of the adventure.

Tzal looked around, checking the opened lumps of webs. It was strange to find metallic humanoid forms within, and he turned towards Gabalan and R3N-L3. "Do these look like constructs to you? Why would these spiders want to get the constructs here? They can't obviously feed on them?"

He then checked Aazim after applying some detoxicant that he carried with him to stave off the action of the spider venom. He needed to perfect it. It was so close, but it was not done yet. Too many reactions caused it's humor to breakdown, leaving nothing usable. However, it seemed he was better and breathing, which meant it was not an emergency situation.

He then turned around to Lauretta and Wolfram and said, "I have a hard time believing that Pyram is alive with all these venomous spiders making nest here. We must hurry. Since we have already explored this area, let's go on to the other exit.
Feb 9, 2025 7:28 pm
"I'd have to agree unless he made some kind of deal with these spiders. I put nothing past the devious fool. Let's go and find him or what's left of him."

A breathy snort of air rushed from the priest's nose. The arachnid's skeleton gave a repulsive crunch as the axe was pulled through it. After wiping innards from the head, Lauretta rushed over to Aazim. Working with Tzal, she would make an effort to bandage his wounds.

"The poison... is he dying from it? The only poison I have experience with is the kind used in war, not this."

Her eyes wandered over to the investigations of the others while she watched over the jann.

"I was certain it'd be human bones we found in that mess. They remind me of R3N-L3 instead. Maybe it wasn't a matter of feeding. Maybe they were sent here by the Weird Wizard at some point in the past... As for Pyram, he's lured multiple groups here on multiple occasions as far as we know. No sign of them either. Something is off here, but I know not what."
Feb 10, 2025 5:19 pm
Tzal shook his head at Lauretta's question, "No, I think he just lost consciousness, but he will be alright. Chances are, we can wake him up after a few minutes. But the poison can signal the preying strategy of these spiders. They attack to knockout their prey with their venom and then take them back in the nest to store them for later consumption."
