Gabalan pulls out a fancy-looking pistol from his belt. He fires, the bullet striking the spider-thing in the chest!
Gabalan uses his telekinesis to hurl his sword at the monster, but it narrowly misses. Lauretta calls on the High One as she smites the creature, her axe cleaving a deep furrow into its body! Black blood and ichor spill forth from its chest, but it remains on its feet. Tzal flings black bile at the thing, sapping its vitality, then Wolfram sinks an arrow into its side. Barely standing, the thing rears back to attack, but Aazim winds R3N-L3's key and the clockwork lunges forward to drive his sword into its belly! The spider-thing shudders on the end of the clockwork's blade as the thing finally crumples to the floor, lying still.
Just when you think things are over, though, you hear Pyram Peek's voice shout out.
"No! Look what you've done!" The man steps out from behind one of the thick curtains of webbing that had been concealing his presence.
"I had a very beneficial arrangement with that creature. I'd bring it victims to feast on, and I would get the bodies to help refine my necromantic magic. Now, I suppose I'll have to kill you myself to get your bodies for my research!"
Pyram casts a spell, and pale, rotting hands and skeletal claws reach up from the ground to grasp at you!
OOC:
Each creature on the ground makes an Agility roll with 1 boon. On a failure, the creature becomes held and frightened (luck ends both). A creature can overcome these afflictions with a success on a Strength roll. If the creature is held already, it takes 1d6 damage and falls prone.
This is the end of round 2, so you can roll for any effects you may need to that happen at round's end. Anybody who wishes to take the initiative for round 3 may do so now and act!
