Selvin doesn't like his ally getting hurt and doesn't really like spiders, so he tries to redouble his efforts. Unfortunately, he ends up overextending himself a bit and misses twice....but the one he hits with pierces into the vital parts of the spider solidly!!

23:39, Today: Selvin Larst rolled 6,25,8 using d20+5,d20+5,d20+5. Claw,Claw,Bite on Spider.
23:42, Today: Selvin Larst rolled 25 using 1d20+5. Critical confirmation.
23:47, Today: Selvin Larst rolled 12 using 2d6+6. Claw critical damage.

Vaddis swings again at his foes!

06:11, Today: Vaddis Sonaden rolled 9 using 1d8+4. damage.
06:11, Today: Vaddis Sonaden rolled 14 using 1d20+7. to hit.

The Little Bomb That Could turns the spiders at your feet to a thick bubbling goo Toke. At the same time, Vaddis makes a couple of long, sweeping blows that sends the swarm to the north scattering. Selvin's claw slices deep into the large spider's underbelly. The spider makes a sort of gurgling noise as the contents of it's thorax spills out over Selvin,  as if to make sure that the elf and his ally are doused in every possible filth imaginable as retribution for it's demise.

The Whatever-It-Is has started to climb the walls in the hold. It moves up the webbing as if it were so much netting.

Outside in the hall, Malder is cursing. But it sounds odd. Like he is coughing on something.

Vaddis is by the northern door in the room. He can look out into the hallway from where he is, but I would want a perception check to see how much he can see. I'll let Vaddis roll that.

Toke and Tarov are middle of the room.

Selvin is just inside the door to the hold. The spider is on top of him but Selvin will be able to push it off. I've already made the strength check.

The only concerns at the moment are the ettercap who is climbing up the wall, and whatever is going on out in the hallway.

03:26, Today: Vaddis Sonaden rolled 16 using 1d20. Perception.

Vaddis,  the door to the hallway is sqinging slowly on it's hinges. Beyond you can make out at least three men. Thugs by the look of them. And Malder. Malder has  spear through his gut. He's been implaed quite nicely. You can't see the face of the man holding the other end of the spear. But you can make out his arm. The cloth of the sleeve is soppng wet.

Vaddis turns his attention on the rear guard and goes to find out who is attacking from behind, hoping his friends can handle the remaining spiders until he gets back to them.

OOC: How high up is the Ettercap by the time Selvin gets to go again?

Vaddis, you can see better as you approach the door. Out in the hallway there are four men besides Malder. The burly mercenary has indeed been stabbed through by the spear. But he is still managing to swing away. He is fending off one of the thugs at the moment.

Holding the other end of the spear is Verrick. The ex-Watch captain smiles at you and then speaks to one of the thugs, nodding in your direction. "That's Vaddis. He's one of their fighters. Take him down quickly."

Selvin, the ceilings here aren't too high. About ten feet. The ettercap has reached it by the time you are free

Selvin looked at the spider-creature trying to climb away and sighed. He pulled out and brought to bear the crossbow he carried with him, loosing a bolt at the ettercap.

23:50, Today: Selvin Larst rolled 15 using 1d20+5. Crossbow vs Ettercap.
23:50, Today: Selvin Larst rolled 2 using 1d8. Crossbow damage if it hits.

Vaddis moves to Malder's aid and attacks the traitor and his allies, but misses.


10:26, Today: Vaddis Sonaden rolled 7 using 1d20+6. to hit.
10:26, Today: Vaddis Sonaden rolled 14 using 1d20+6. crit failure.

Toke cringed as he watched the thing crawled up to the ceiling. Whelp, that's going to give me bad trips from now on. He thought to himself. He looked around for Vaddis and didn't see him. Perhaps he went to fend off the would-be ambushers? "Selvin, I should be able to handle Man-Spider, I think Vaddis is off fighting that ambush, you go help him." He said, attempting to hold back his fear and crackling voice. To bring weight to his words, he moved to bring the creature closer to range and threw another bomb at it.

Move to bring the ettercap within 20ft
Today: Toke rolled 18 using 1d20+5. Bomb to hit.
Toke rolled 7 using 1d4+6. Damage: (7 Splash [DC 16]).

Tarrov wasn't too happy with how things were going.  How could Verik betray them to Kindness like this?  And his own loyal lieutenant Malder in to the mix?  Something was going on here to which Tarrov wasn't privy, that was for certain.  And from the looks of things, Malder wasn't either.  The bard glanced around the corner at the full hallway.  This is becoming quite the party, he thought to himself.

Well, Selvin and Toke were going to have to deal with the Ettercap; they were much better equipped to do so than Tarrov.  But a bunch of warriors in a hallway?  Tarrov had just the answer for that.

He stepped into the doorway.  "Sleep," he sang, hoping that the spell would knock out the enemy fighters and not Vaddis or Malder.

OOC:  Tarrov moves into the doorway and casts Sleep on the opponents in the hallway.  (DC 15).

OOC - Where did you cast the spell Tarrov? If Vaddis is in the AOE, he failed his save sadly. :( 18:59, Today: Vaddis Sonaden rolled 9 using 1d20+6. will save.

Tarrov adjusted for you Vaddis

You slam open the doorway and swing, Vaddis, as Tarrov comes up behind you. The hallway outside is practically full to bursting. Six armed men stand there, each trying to look more thuggish than the others. Verik stands there, trying to force his spear deeper into Malder's guts. Malder has hold of the haft of the spear with one hand, trying to stop him, while flailing away with his sword to kwep two of the thugs at bay. One of the thugs dodges around Malder and your initial swing Vaddis and moves towards you, sword raised.

Behind Verik, three of the thugs suddenly go limp and slump to the ground. Verik snarls. "Someone kill the silver hair."

---

The Whatever -It-Is makes an annoyed grunt as Selvin's  crossbow bolt slams into it's thigh. The grunt becomes a screech a second later as one of Toke's miraculous phials spreads a searing caustic goo over it's back.

It's feet come off the ceiling but it manages to hang on with one hand. It dangles there, like a flopping tree root growing through the roof of a rodent's burrowed tunnel. It opens it's ugly maw and spews out a stream of thick silk towards Selvin. 

Selvin, I'll let you make the reflex save DC15

Selvin grins ferally and then flinches as the thing SPITS at him! He is a bit surprised by that and gets hit by the gunk.

21:51, Today: Selvin Larst rolled 9 using 1d20+2. Reflex save - feet don't fail me now.

OOC - Who is up in the initiative?

Vaddis, you can post an action. You have one thug coming at you. Another one is in range but is too busy trying to kill Malder. Verik is trying to drive his spear deeper into Malder. Behind them are four more thugs, but Tarrov put three of them to sleep.

Selvin, the gunk seems to mushroom out into a fine sticky web that settles over your Eidolon's left side and the wall behind you. The Whatever -It-Is wipes it's maw like a drunk wiping drops of wine from his lips and begins to pull itself back up onto the ceiling.

Sorry Selvin. Your eidolon suit is webbed. Your right side is free

Verik is SUCH a bastard, Tarrov couldn't help thinking to himself.  The young bard felt for Malder, who must feel run through by more than a spear.  Getting betrayed by someone you trusted?  Always a harsh experience.

Tarrov grinned as three of the four thugs-in-waiting slumped to the ground in response to his spell.  A good start, in Tarrov's opinion, and a much-better reaction than the one from the ettercap.  But it was not nearly enough.  They were still hard pressed from all sides.

Time for action.  Tarrov unspooled his scorpion whip and sent it flashing out towards the thug engaging Vaddis, sending the man crashing towards the ground.  The bard grinned.  If Vaddis couldn't dispatch a man lying sprawled in front of him, well, he probably needed to have a hard discussion with his favored deity.

Vaddis attacks the one in front of him, cutting him deep!

05:43, Today: Vaddis Sonaden rolled 9 using 1d8+3. damage.
05:43, Today: Vaddis Sonaden rolled 21 using 1d20+6. to hit.

Tarrov's whip brings the thug down. Vaddis' blade catches him on the way there. He is jerked sideways and hits the floor. The thug bounces and doesn't rise.

Verik drops the spear and backs up, pulling his bow from off his shoulder. Malder collapses to one knee. One of the two remaining thugs rushes towards you while the other raises his sword to give Malder a haircut. A very severe haircut.

---

The Whatever-It-Is moves along the ceiling, though oddly not towards you Selvin.  He stops and presses his hand into the wood on the ceiling and as you study it, it looks like there is a trap door in the ceiling above. The Whatever-It-Is seem sto be trying to open it. Toke sticks his head in, eyeing the Whatever-It-Is. The skinny alchemist is pouring a few drops of liquid into another small phial and shaking it. "You want me to bomb him or cut you out?" he asks you.

---

Tarrov gave Vaddis an appreciative nod as he finished off the charging thug.  The bard looked down the hallway as he drew his whip back, watching in horror as Verik's thug moved up to finish off Malder.  He quickly snapped the whip forward, snaking it out in attempt to coil it around the man's sword and jerk it out of his grip.

Oops, forgot to add the extra +1 "to hit" from the bardsong in the die roller.  Fixed here.

That's going to be close, but I think a 15 should do it against a common thug.  I hope.

Selvin growled at the 'captivity' he found himself in. At Toke's question, he glared at the spider-creature and replied, "I'll be fine for a moment! Don't let him get away! He controls the spiders!" He struggled against the webbing in the meantime.

Toke nodded, though he was hard pressed to think of a way to prevent this... thing from escaping. Still, he might as well toss another explosive at the thing, perhaps it will deal enough to distract it at least.

Toke rolled 13 using 1d20+5. Bomb to hit.
Toke rolled 8 using 1d4+7. Damage: (8 Splash [DC 16]).

Vaddis steps up to deal with the man trying to finish off Malder, but misses wide in his eagerness!
