From the windows to the walls... Dark Tower II.

[DM Bob]

Hurk and Kleys manage to love-hug each other as the levitation kicks in... seems to be a long undisturbed bedroom beneath you, tables, chairs and the like. One door you can see, but hey, shit is a tad too awkward right now for a full disclosure. You may either raise and attempt to regain the current level - or simply proceed downward.

***

Mak and Yiska fall into a mass of thick, glutinous webbing. Looking about in your light? Several hairy, ultraviolet lime and blue spiders, complete with glowing green eyes are seen. At least they seem happy to see you. Leg span is about 4' in total. There are at least 6. Probably more.

Oof.

They aren't dream (or phase) arachnids, but the very webs start to burn at any exposed skin. While you haven't taken falling damage? You're sure it's only a matter of time before these webs and their owners begin burning through your flesh (or devouring it).

Kem manages to grab the side of the floor and begins hauling herself up.

***

The rest of you are doing pretty well. Pallia sees the spider, web, halfling and elf debacle below quite clearly.

[Attilius]

Hurk helps the elf onto his back pack and shoulders while they descend to grab his blade. The half giant grabs his blade then ascends the duo to help their friends in the next room.

He'll look all around as they go down then up.

[Niachi]

Laakh quickly squeezes out the room he was in and stops Duo Dimension, getting a visual on Pallia, Kri, and Abez still on the main floor while loading his crossbow and with light careful steps, edges closer to the lip of the pit. If he falls through, he will Teleport back up to the last solid footing he had.

He raises his light orb high for max illumination into the pit. If he can reveal what's down there, he will gesture for those topside to use ranged attacks.

He will find a target spider that looks most threatening to the fallen heroes below. He focuses his unrelenting hatred of disgusting crawly vermin into a Psychic Crush to pulp the meager clump of neurons inside its skull.

Initiative 1

Psychic Crush: Need 15, rolled 13. -7 PSPs. Target gross vermin bug saves Paralyze or is walloped for 5 HP.

[Coden Rokos (Jesse H.)]

"Rope! Does someone have a rope that we can lower down?"

[Skrye [AC3; 48/48HP]]

- Kem starts to climb up towards the upper floor, as she doesn't have anything to help to the others at this moment - 'Keeping the club secured stops me from cutting the threads down' -

[OOC: How far are the spiderweb from where I am and the top floor? And how big is the club?]

[Niachi]

Ooops Laakh just shared his mindscape for the ideal situation. He gets his first hold on his target.

[Deleted]

As Mak plops into some webbing and he feels his skin begin to burn he casts a protective charm over himself then calls out "These webs sting of acid, be careful! I'm counting 8 spiders with evil intent!" to the others.

He'll draw his wrist razor and start freeing himself from the webbing, but will strike out if any spiders come close enough.

((Casts Resist Acid and Corrosion, Lv.2, Players Option: Skills & Magic or Priest Spell Compendium, duration 8 rounds.))

((Also, Mak is only 5' below where the floor used to be, but he's more than 10' from solid floor where some of the party are standing.))

[remie]

Kri-kcht lowers a long rope down, holding one end very secure. "@# Already on it! #$"

[DM Bob]

To Hurk & Kleys: This room is the least disturbed one you've seen so far... outside of the debris from where you've fallen. There's a sturdy looking bed the north, and a set of chairs about a stone table next to you (east)... as well as a wooden door directly behind you to the west. You grab your sword and begin to move back up. You may join the web room on the following round. I will start another map shortly.

To Pallia/Kri-kcht: The kreen drags around a lot of rope. 100 total feet of it in fact. Luckily he's so big and strong. You begin to lower it.

Kem pulls herself up to the main floor of the room that once had ghostly visions. The odd webs are strewn 3-5 feet down below, she has managed to keep from getting much of any contact with them, what little bit she can scrape off on the floor.

Yiska tries to pull herself up onto the floor section above her, her legs stuck in a mass of the burning webs. She stifles a scream as the spiders advance, one biting her in the leg proper as she continues to pry herself up.

Mak's spell does go off and the two arachnids that tried to bite him miss.

Two more are climbing over into the ghostly vision room from the further side of the floor/ceiling.

Abez sees this and begins to ready his bow.

Laahk manages to lash out mentally at one of the spiders near Mak. The damage is not enough to drop the foe, and it continues to fight.

Initiative, intentions and rolls if you got 'em.

[Deleted]

"You cheeky bastards!" Mak yells at the spiders trying to eat him as he draws Odrela's Metal Gladius and attempts to stab the wounded one through it's grotesque maw.

[ascieszl]

Kleys readies his bow in transit and prepares to move to the hole and fire on the spiders.

[Skrye [AC3; 48/48HP]]

[OOC: Could it be possible to help Yishka up and cut the webs with a dagger?]

[Attilius]

Upon rising high enough to see the spiders attacking Mak, HurK narrows his focus on the unhurt one...



[Initiative: 3

Id Insinuation 18, rolled 6. That Spider can do nothing for 4 rounds; -5 PsPs]

[Coden Rokos (Jesse H.)]

Pallia reaches out and calls, "Blessed sun! Let them float like a leaf on a hot breeze!"

(Cast lighten load on the party so that Kri-kcht can pull them up more easily. This should affect the entire group and reduces the effective weight of all of their gear, weapons, armor, and supplies by 50% for 6 hours.)

(Tome of Magic p. 59. Casting time 2.)

[Niachi]

Laakh delights in the sight of his target spider jolting as its skull is rattled from afar. But he switches to a higher priority target and another plan:

"Front line fighters hit the climbing dustfuckers!"

He switches to Id Insinuation: any spider on Yiska:

Initiative: 2 yay
Id Insin: 19 boo. -3 PSPs (half cost for failed check)
