Kylie grimaces in pain but refuses to make a sound.  Again she swings, but she fails miserably as her strength seems to seep from her body.

09:41, Today: Kylie rolled 13 using 1d20+1. Attack.
09:41, Today: Kylie rolled 7 using 1d20+3. Fort.

The first spider bites Rayorr on the leg, then bites Kylie on the arm.  The bite looks serious, and Kylie seems a bit weak and drained now.

Palan steps out and tries shooting one of the spiders with a spell, but misses.

Korgan tries to break free, but fails.

The second spider catches Palan with a web.

Quinlan moves farther in and shoots at the second spider(actually not the farthest one), and takes a chunk out of it.

Rayorr swings at the third spider, but misses.

The third spider bites at Rayorr, but misses, then starts to back into the tunnel.

Kylie actually hits, despite her reduced strength(roll damage, please).

17:00, Today: Rayorr rolled 4 using 1d20+2. Attack spider S2.

Hoping to eliminate at least one threat, Rayorr attacks the same spider that Kylie was fighting.

It's not your turn.  And you never know, she might kill it.

(OOC: Do I need to make a new roll to break out or does the old one stand?)

I could be nice and say keep it, but I'll be evil and say that from now on, if you roll out of turn, you need to re-roll when your turn comes.  This goes for everyone.

And Korgan, it's not your turn yet.  First Kylie needs to roll for damage, then the first spider goes, then Palan, then you.

[OOC: OK, so those are initiative numbers ;) - Didn't know!  So I reroll when you tell me. I'm rattling them bones in my hand. Just let me know when to toss them ]

(OOC: But the arrow under the map?? I'm confused, but I'll just wait :) ).

Ignore it, it's there because he's the next to go, but only after I have all the information from the previous round.

OOC: Shouldn't Rayorr get an AoO against spider 3? It's retreating from a threatened square.

No, the first square you move from doesn't count for AoOs.

(OOC: Although the DM - as always - is right I'm not sure that's the rules as stated in the PHB and the SRD. Indeed, except when a withdrawal action is taking (a full round action) the first square does count)

Quote from SRD:

Provoking an Attack of Opportunity: Two kinds of actions can provoke attacks of opportunity: moving out of a threatened square and performing an action within a threatened square.

Moving: Moving out of a threatened square usually provokes an attack of opportunity from the threatening opponent. There are two common methods of avoiding such an attack—the 5-foot-step and the withdraw action(see below).

Withdraw:
Withdrawing from melee combat is a full-round action. When you withdraw, you can move up to double your speed. The square you start out in is not considered threatened by any opponent you can see, and therefore visible enemies do not get attacks of opportunity against you when you move from that square. (Invisible enemies still get attacks of opportunity against you, and you canÂ’t withdraw from combat if youÂ’re blinded.) You canÂ’t take a 5-foot step during the same round in which you withdraw.

Ah, that's what it was.  I guess you get an AoO then.

(OOC: There...the DM's always right in the end ;))

Like I always say, the DM's always right, and even if he was wrong, he was still right until he says otherwise, at which point he's still right.

I don't know how good that sounds, it's hard to express in writing.

Sounds great! ;-)

(OOC: Excellent actually :))

[ooc: OK boss, I'm just going to wait to hear from you exactly when and how you want me to roll.]

OOC:  Can I suggest that in situations like these, instead of waiting for (potentially) several days for a player to make a single roll, the DM do it for us?  After all, it's just a simple damage-roll, nothing fancy, right?

(OOC: Agreed)

OOC: In situations like these, I will wait three days before I roll for them.  Don't know how long I've been waiting for Kylie, so I'm rolling for her.

OOC: reposting this because there was so much chatter since then.

Korgan feels his emotions take over, his eyesight gets flurry due to the red fog of Rage and he unloads his full power on the flimsy web trying to restrict his freedom.

21:38, Today: Korgan Nkopno rolled 27 using 1d20+7. Strength check. 

Not your tuuurn yet!

(OOC: But.....aren't Palan and I to act now?????)
