The dwarf turns to the nearest camera with a mock look of disappointment on his face. "I expected more from Rosie! My baby cousin could've disarmed that trap. Guess she spent too much time rounding up spider dudes."

He grabs the book, glancing at the cover, and then runs toward the others to help with the fight.
OOC:
+2 Mojo for making disparaging remarks about trap maker after successfully disarming one on the first try.

@spaceseeker19 Bole is up. Tymun already acted this round by moving to the box and disabling the trap so grabbing the book and running back towards the others will have to be part of the next round action.
"What an ever so slightly unfortunate series of events!" the announcer yells into the mic. "Sassafras has been webbed to the roof under the wingnut, with the silver lining being that her arms are still free to work their magic. Vi Vi has put her Dionysus-approved Shaolin Smithson Shortbow™ to work but the arrow failed to find its mark! And Houston Hexcrawler's brawler-extraordinaire put forth an impressive display, but his attacks failed to land. Attempting to trip a spider-dude with so many legs was probably not the best tactic, but that's easy for me to say safe on the side-lines!"

Sounds good

Bole yells "Bite the dust, Rusty!" as he draws and looses an arrow at the wounded rust spider. Not his best line, nor his best shot.

The rust spider will not eat dust as it skitters out of the way and survives to attack again! The rust spider makes another attack at Butch, trying to eat his tasty tasty armor!

The spider-dude luchadores rush from their opposing sides and engage with Callan and Bole. Their glistening muscle-bound bodies ripple with intimidating strength as much as their enormous spider lower bodies terrify with their slick black carapace. They both attempt to seize their opponents in wrestling holds.

Meanwhile the disrespected clown, who gives an exagerated frown to the camera, steps off the teeter-totter, grabs another barrel landing nearby, then places it on the teeter-totter. Yet another spider-dude clown jumps through the hole in the billboard and lands on the teeter-totter, sending the barrel arcing through the air, this time at Gabriel Carver! The barrel lands several feet away from Gabriel. It doesn't explode or break, however.
OOC:
Need Str or Agi (whichever is higher) to oppose the grappling Checks. Callan needs a 22, Bole just needs a 10. Need another DC 15 Ref save for Butch against the rust attack. PCs are up!

OOC:
Just to clarify, Butch disrespected the Rust Spider halfling thingy (which, from my understanding, has the clown wig and makeup on) and not the big spider clown tossing the barrels. Makes sense to impose the penalty on the target in immediate melee with him to increase his chances of survival, plus he gains Mojo when a disrespected opponent fails a melee or spellcasting check. The disrespect penalty should reduce the rust bite attack to 17, which misses Butch's AC of 19 (but it might improve the spider clown's barrel toss)

Also, I don't have the rulebook but the armor is "Lt. Minilynx", is it even metallic or would it be made of other materials?

Figuring that, now caught up in webbing, she is likely uninteresting a target of these nightmares of Rosie’s demented imagination. Sassafras just wriggles a little closer to the trap mechanism under the wingnut and tries again to dismantle its triggers.
OOC:
Wow, guys. I guess this battle is all yours. I need 3 successful disarm traps checks and my dice bot hates me. I’ll burn luck if I’m close though.

Hahaha I physically cannot pass that check
Callan readies himself for the charging spider-creature, almost quick enough to get off a spell, before the creature folds him up like a pretzel.

"Someone get this big bozo-bastard off me!"

Ok, there was miscommunication lol. The rust spider is not clown-like at all, its just a halfling-sized spider. The spider-dude tossing barrels has a clown outfit and makeup. If you disrespected the rust spider then yes it misses, no need for a save.

I had to check the rulebook for armor descriptions so here's what your armor looks like.
MiniLynx: Exclusively manufactured by the Blue Skin Jeans Co. of Metairie, MiniLynx® armor is a masterwork of modern combat engineering. The armor consists of a thin layer of titanium alloy mail of interlocking rings, which is flexible, light, and durable."

Vi Vi tuts as her arrow goes wide of the mark.

"That was just for show! I’m making things exciting, that’s all! This time is for real!" Vi Vi says, to all the watchers at home.

With practiced ease, she lines up another, real shot this time, and lets loose!

"Hey! Don't ignore me, you eight-legged freak!" Gabriel looks up just in time to see the barrel sailing through the air and jumps back. He just bought his new chain shirt!

Thankful that it didn't explode or release something awful, he takes a wide route around it and charges the nearest spider-man. He's gonna get one of those legs as a trophy.

Alright, misunderstanding cleared, thanks! So the rust spider missed Butch, which gives him his 1 Mojo back, and there's no need to roll a save, although that armor sounds like it's got enough metal in it for me to worry about losing it! Also, reminder next time the tracker is updated it to also have the rust spider as the disrespected one.
Butch barely dodges the Rust Spider's chomp and takes a step back to regroup. Suddenly, he realizes it's not just his blade and shield, but also his armor at risk here. This could get very ugly.

"They're picking us apart!" he shouts to the rest of the Houston Hexcrawlers, trying to get some sort of plan going now that they have a somewhat better idea of what they're up against. "Focus fire and let's take them down one by one! Gabe, go for the mask, I heard it's a big deal"
OOC:
Using my sole point of Mojo to boost Gabriel Carver's next roll!
Unfortunately for him, Butch can't quite put his words into action yet. He can't risk turning his back on the Rust Spider, so he'll risk losing his sponsored blade instead, if it means he can put the damn thing down fast and regroup with the others. "Let's see what this baby's really made of" he mutters to himself, all too conscious about turning this into a sponsor plug that could horribly backfire.

Bole succeeded so is not grappled and can take his turn normally. Callan can also take an action to break free. Its a very high DC so you can use mojo or luck or hope for a nat 20 lol. Butch's attack misses by 1. You can spend luck if you want and the rust spider will be dead. Tracker is updated, thanks for the reminder.

Tymun reaches out and grabs the book, glancing at the cover as he does. Then he turns and runs toward the giant wingnut, attempting to hide himself behind the large central bolt once he gets there.

If we're retconning Mojo into it being an individual resource and Butch didn't pass Mojo to Gabriel Carver, I'd like to use the Mojo for that +1 boost to kill the Rust Spider instead. If not, I'll just burn a point of Luck.

Yeah spending 1 mojo sounds fine to me! I'll post an update in a few hours.

"And what a flurry of events we've had here, folks! Sassafras continues to work on the trap but the wingnut hasn't budged an inch yet, and it's still webbed up which might hinder any progress she makes anyway. Poor Callan can't catch a break as he's been grabbed in a bear hug by one of the spider-dude luchadores, and those are some strong motherspiders. I think Vi Vi's bow has a hex upon it because she's had trouble shooting a single straight shot this crawl. Luckily Gabriel and Butch have had more success! Butch has successfully removed the rust spider from play and Gabriel has cut two legs off one of the spider-dudes! That can't feel very pleasant. Meanwhile Tymun has disappeared, I think I last saw him by the wingnut. Bole has dodged the other spider-dude's grapple and it is yet to be seen how we will react!"
Apr 15, 2025 3:00 pm
"Oh the humanity! Callan has just been given a poisonous bite by the spider-dude! Let's hope he can fight off the effects. Meanwhile Gabriel has just been double-fisted by the spider-dude he took some legs off moments ago! I guess he wasn't too pleased about losing those legs. And here comes another spider-clown through the billboard launching yet another barrel! And it looks like, wait for it, yes it's heading towards Butch! Oh no an exploding barrel! Thankfully no one else was in the blast radius but that has got to burn! And poor Vi Vi has been targeted by a spider-clown's wacky ball launcher. I hope it's anything but the acid balls! Oh I forgot the poison spider balls! I'm not sure if that's better or worse, folks! Poor Vi Vi is now covered in hundreds of itsy bitsy spiders!"
OOC:
Ok this battle is crazy so thought I'd so a quick ooc rundown lol. Two spider-dude luchadores are grappling and pummeling people while a clown-car's worth of spider-clowns keep jumping through a billboard and onto a teeter-totter launching barrels set up by the first spider-clown. Subsequent spider-clowns each have those baseball-type ball launchers that launch random types of balls at the party. Hope that makes sense lol.
OOC:
Callan needs to make a DC 13 Fort save or take 1d5 Agi damage. Vi Vi needs to make the same save except will take 1d2 Str damage on a failure. The spiders are now a new enemy as well.
