Chapter 1: Friends in Need

Tzal climbed down the stairs on the eastern side as his eye fell on the web-covered lumps. It was a strange thing, but as far as spiders go, they do keep their food covered in webs, right? Before he could ponder more, his fellow companions started to move into position as he noticed the human-sized spiders moving towards them. He was disgusted to see such large creatures and pointed his staff towards one as he sent another fuming corrosive acid towards it.

Intellect roll (corrosive globule) - (1d20+3)

Wolfram notices the lumps but knows attending to the immediate threat was now needed. Wishing he had an axe, he pulled an arrow from his quiver and used it as a short spear, both clearing away some web and attacking the nearest spider as he stood beside Lauretta.

OOC:

Taking initiative and presuming arrow damage used like this would be the same as dagger damage.

Chapter 1: Friends in Need

After returning from the nearby woods and what-ever Gabalan was doing there, he quickly entered the tomb to join his - still new - companions. Looking carefully at the remains of their earlier enemies and what are they doing while passing them.

Seeing that they already are descending to eastern stairs and room, he fallowed them. Hearing the first loud splash of flesh cut by R3N-L3 he already knew that it's time to take out his short sword once again.

OOC:

In this situation it's only thematic for Gabalan to NOT take the initiative:)

OOC:

Using an arrow as a melee weapon would likely count as attacking with an improvised weapon. Improvised weapons deal 1d6 damage and have a bane to their attack roll. Fortunately, since Wolfram's engaging in melee with Lauretta and R3N-L3, there is likely a surrounded spider, giving Wolfram a boon. So your damage and attack roll are correct! Although I hope it's not under the assumption that Lauretta didn't give Wolfram his dagger back. I thought I wrote that she returned it, haha.

OOC:

Taking initiative.

Enormous spiders? Well, at least they didn't need to bandy words about, as they'd done with the Silver Coins Company. These foul creatures needed to destroyed...and their victims saved, if those webbed bundles were indeed captured prey.

The jann concentrates, again calling upon his innate magical ability. Blue flames envelop him, though they don't harm him; he now looks like some strange demon out of an alternate hell.

The flames do, however, harm others, as his quarterstaff attack now burns as well as bludgeons! He jumps in with the others, targeting a spider that's surrounded.

OOC:

Using Fire Affinity. Is my Elemental Affinity unlimited use? If not, just subtract the damage.

OOC:

Elemental Affinity doesn't have any limited number of uses, you're good! You can basically always have it active as long as you're not confused, controlled, stunned, or unconscious. Switching affinity, activating it, or deactivating is simply done at the start of your turn freely.
Also, your roll was a 20+. As long as it beats the spider's defense by 5+, then it's a critical success. With Fire Affinity, you can then force any target within 5 yards to make an Agility challenge roll and take 1d6 damage on a failure.

Chapter 1: Friends in Need

R3N-L3 and Lauretta move into the room together, slicing and chopping the first spider and taking it down. Tzal splatters a second spider with acid, then Wolfram moves up and stabs it with an arrow before Aazim limns his staff in flames and brings it down hard on the giant arachnid, finishing it off!

The two remaining spiders move to attack! One bites at Lauretta while the other one sinks its fangs into Aazim! Virulent venom courses through the victims' veins!

OOC:

2 damage to Lauretta, 3 damage to Aazim. Both must make a Strength roll with 1 bane. On a failure, they become poisoned (luck ends). If the target’s Health drops to 10 or less while poisoned, it ends the poisoned affliction and becomes unconscious instead.

@Pedrop, Gabalan may now act before the end of the round!

Rolls

Agility - (d20+2)

(5) + 2 = 7

Extra Fire Damage - (d6)

Fangs vs Lauretta, Aazim - (d20+2+d6, d20+2+d6)

OOC:

Damn, that's potent poison! Good thing we managed to kill two of them quickly.

The piercing bite sends Lauretta jolting back in shock, but the wound was merely a shallow one. Stinging venom oozed from her leg. Her fear of poison was stronger than the effect it had on her.

Aazim snarls curse words in his native tongue as the poison courses through him. But he's still on his feet, if a bit nauseous.

OOC:

Poison really sucks. You'll lose 1d6 of your Health score at the end of the round (not damage) and have to make a luck roll to see if it goes away. On top of that, all your attribute rolls will have a bane while you have it.

Yep, hoped they'd try to bite the one member who doesn't care about poison. R3N-L3 will be holding his free for next round to guard if need be.

OOC:

I don't think Gabalan's action will change things much before the end of the round, so I'll keep things moving. When he posts, he can take his actions for the first round and the second as well if he chooses to take initiative.

End of the Round: Aazim loses 1d6 Health and can make a luck roll to try to end the poison, unless he drops to 10 or less Health, in which case he falls unconscious and loses the poisoned affliction. Every 8 hours, the target can make a Will roll. On a success, it ends the unconscious affliction. Time spent unconscious in this way does not count as resting.

Anybody who wants to take initiative for round 2 may do so now!

OOC:

First round.

Seeing that his companions are already bitten by disgusting, big spiders Gabalan proceeds forward to the nearest one and tries to stab it with his short sword.

OOC:

Rolling... EDIT: Critical! :) So:

[ +- ] PIERCING

[ +- ] Weakened

Making another perfectly aimed stab, just in the center of creature's abdomen.
"Juuust... like that. Die." - he hisses while the blade sinks into the monster's body.

To surprise of his companions he looks very invigorated and there are no signs of his recent injuries... like they would simply disappear.

OOC:

Round 2 in the moment.

Health: 12 / 12

Damage: 0

Reaction used: No

Injured: No

Status Effect	Rounds Remaining
Spider #1 weakened until the end of your next turn	1

OOC:

Round 2, taking initiative.

But when he pulls out the blade, to strike again immediately with the corner of his eye, he sees the nasty wound that Aazim got from the spider attack. The sight makes him instantly realize that, this time the wounds could be much harder to heal and their ranks could dwindle fast with every scar and injection of deadly poison. He feels that matters became serious now...

And then something strange - to observers - happens. The short sword literally flies from his right hand and tires to stab into the nasty spider from under of it!

OOC:

Rolling... EDIT: I will presume it was a success! :D

Pedrop sent a note to Dmbrainiac

Making another deep wound, penetrating the spider's body badly from the different angle. Then the sword immediately darts back to Gabalan's hand and - as he would be moved by the sword momentum itself - almost his whole body immediately jumps back 2 yards, to be out of the spiders reach.

OOC:

Using Retreat to get back from the spider and not trigger Free Attack.

An internal scream was still sounding off in her head. Instinctive revulsion to the skittering things was amplified by their size and now the piercing wounds in her flesh. The mixture of anger and disgust worked alongside her muscle memory to send Lauretta's axe careening towards the creature. It would be better for the world that they were dead.

Taking the initiative and attacking.

Mindful of his compatriots poisoned wounds, Wolfram knows he needs to act fast. Since his last unorthodox attack worked splendidly, he repeats the attack with his arrow again on the spider attacking Aazim.

I am hoping for a surrounded spider again as another arrow stab fits the fiction better than grabbing the dagger. 😊
