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

Rope is thrown. To Yiska, who grabs on tightly and accepts your assistance readily.

Kem finds it easier to lend her strength to the thrown rope. The elf warrioress should be freed shortly.

Kleys readies his bow as two arrows from Abez fire just past him. Neither find purchase.

One on Mak is most definitely stunned. Sadly? Seven more are alive. Two begin climbing past Kem over the edge. That makes four topside. The far two begin to close in distance heading toward the door.

And that's when they (2) spit. They miss Hurk and Kleys, but damn. That spatter of acid really is quite scary.

Mak misses his attacks. But so do your eight-legged, 8 opponents.

Next round, por favor.

HELPING YISKA UP, ADDING HER STRENGTH TO HAUL HER TOPSIDE.

[Deleted]

"Die you creepy bastard!! I'm NOT TASTY!!!" Mak yells as he continues to stab at the injured arachnid's face with Odrela's Gladius.

Yelling back to the group he says "Someone check Yiska for poison! She got bit by one of these nasties!"

Initiative: 9 (raw roll, speed factor 3, reaction adj for dex -2, enchantment impact on speed: unknown)
Attack Roll: 16 (THAC0 16, hit AC 0 unless the sword is magical)
Damage: 1 (if applicable, plus any additional damage should the blade be enchanted)

((Mak 42/42 hp AC 6 (4 vs evil), Detect Evil x/50rnds, Protection from Evil x/24 rnds, Resist Acid 2/8rnds. Spells Remaining 1st: 4/6, 2nd: 4/5, 3rd: 5/5, 4th: 3/3))

- Kem helps Yishka by lending her a bone dagger to cut the Web with one hand whilst pulling her with the other, in an attempt to tension the thread and easily be cut off - Try with this, no worries about any damage to it and cut you free as soon as possible. I'm holding on you -

[Niachi]

Laakh curses in melodic Nibenese and hops back from the spitters, hoping for solid wall behind him.
"BUG HUNT!"

He starts Safe Path: need 14, rolled 18. -4 PSPs.

Readies crossbow for closest spider.

[ascieszl]

Kleys moves if/as necessary to shoot at a spider threatening a party member.

(Init roll of 3 on 1d10, weapon speed 8, react. Adj +2 = ?? Help me out here)

(RoF =2, attack rolls: 14 & 17, @ +2, so hit AC 4 & 1, is that right?)

(7 & 3 dmg, in order)

[Skrye [AC3; 48/48HP]]

[OOC: Adam, the initiative is 1d10 + weapon speed - Missile attack modifier by Dex.
In your case, initiative = 3 (rolled) + 8 (weapon) - 2 (Dex missile adj) = 9

Only members of the Warrior class can have a RoF higher than 1 attack/round if they're specialists in that weapon (RoF if ranged, attacks/round if melee weapon), but they can only specialise in one weapon.
Gladiator class can specialise in as many as they wish if they have enough WP points.]

[ascieszl]

(From the 2e PHB, pg 95: "RoF" is rate of fire - how many shots that weapon can fire off in one round. This is independent of the number of melee attacks a character can make in a round.)

That reads pretty clearly.

[Attilius]

HurK watches in horror as the missed acid spittle starts dissolving the rubble around him then quickly pulls out one of his Dasl Chatkcha's from his bandolier and hucks it with all his might at the closest spitting spider to him...

[initiative 4 + Chatkcha speed 4 = 8
Chatkcha to hit: NAT 20!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Damage: 4 (x2) = 8 +10 = 18]

[-6 PsP's
5/6 Chatkcha’s]

Map. Redrew it to use twice as many squares - only the current room: darksunsouthtablelands.obsidianportal.com/maps/127661

Mak feels more moving below him, shaking the webs. As he swings and connects with the one he was originally in melee with, he counts two more moving to flank him. That's four in total near him... one is stunned.

The druid feels one bite his leg. And then another. (8 damage total)

Yiska gets pulled free as the two spiders that climbed above spray acidic, deadly venom. I will need saves rolled vs. wands +2 in your favor to avoid the splatter for Pallia, Kem and Kri-kcht. Failure means 4 damage and paralyzation.

You can see Yiska's right leg through to the bone. A mass of hissing greenish-red hate spreading slowly, eating through her leggings. Wincing, she clears the edge and draws her bone blade.

Your party's combined ranged attacks manage to drop one foe (#1 on the map)... as he was the closest to Hurk at the start of combat.

[Coden Rokos (Jesse H.)]

Pallia manages to pull back out of the way of the acidic spittle (save vs. wands +2 total of 16, made save).

She places the banner carefully to one side, draws her sling, and starts spinning it around to whip a stone at one of the closest spiders.

(Initiative 6 + weapon speed 6 = 11, attack hits AC 9, presumably a miss.)

[Deleted]

Mak grabs ahold of the nearby rope and pulls himself up to the floor from the top of the webs. He'll take his spot (between the Kreen, Abez and Kleys) brandishing the metal gladius to assault any spider that draws near.

"Let's squish some bugs."

[Niachi]

Laakh tries Safe Path again and replaces crossbow with razors, taking sight of spider #1 on map. He notices Pallia put down the banner and is very much aware of not letting it out of their sight. He will teleport over to its location if it anything messes with it.

Safe Path: need 16, rolled 18. -4 PSPs. 98 remaining. He flanks Abez and stands ground, waiting to try his Path again. To the captain he mutters:

"Let's try for those uglies. (pointing blades at spiders 1 and 2) If they spit at us, try covering your eyes with your forearm."

[ascieszl]

Kleys continues to fire at the spiders, but to no effect (rolled 2 & 9, 😞 )
