Dame Morbid's Tourney Team 1

[Nelphine]

HP 30/38, A 26, F 18, R 23, W 19, any ranged attacks against me from further than 5 squares have -5 to hit.
Surges: 8/9

Magmin looked curiously at the new tiefling. Fire always knew fire, and this one was certainly another devotee to the burning flame. But instead of using pure fire, he seemed to combine it with steel. Shame.

"Fire burns...."

Initiative (1d20+4)[5] (+2 for warlord included)

Areimis follows the others, still disappointed at his failures in the last battle. He is sure he will do better this time.

Sorry, I forgot the +2 from the Warlord, so my Initiative is actually a whopping 9.

Pelaios looks with disgusted annoyance at the orc.

"Perhaps, orc, you should just leave the fighting to me. We wouldn't someone of your...delicate features to get hurt, would we?

Pelaios draws his warhammer from its holster on his hip. Through force of will, the head of the hammer bursts into. A satisfied smirk creeps across his face.

"Lets go."

Pelaios is a snob of a merchant family. Please don't take offense to his manner.

Imsh Pathfinder

Imsh grins, showing a mouthful of teeth, and slaps the tiefling on the back. "Oh, I think we're gonna get along just fine."

[Inyssius Tor]

As Imsh introduces himself, you hear a rumbling, slithering noise from inside the arena. The ground shakes, and the crowd grows quiet.

Once acquainted, you head out into an arena much changed from the one you left. Black rock formations loom over you like the walls of a cave, casting thick shadows over the arena. Stalagmites jut smoothly from the floor. Where pale morning light penetrates the shadows, thin lines of glittering light are visible across the arena. Droplets of dew, on nearly invisible webs. In places, the webs are dense enough to be clearly visible--in several patches, you can see human silhouettes hanging suspended in the webs. High above, Dame Morbid watches from behind her veil. The portcullis rattles closed behind you as a gigantic spider the size of a horse steps out into the center of the ring. Long legs like massive spears dig into the ground, eight red eyes stare at you, and the spider tenses as if preparing to leap.

Fight's on.

Pelaios moves torward to closest rock formation to get some cover. He glances around looking for more webs.

[Inyssius Tor]

As Pelaios moves into position, he can see a long patch of glimmering webs strung along the south rock formation. If he'd moved just a little more to the south, he could have walked right into them.

Pelaios just tags the Perception DC, and can see all the webs within 5 squares of him (within his line of sight, at least, though I'm inclined to be lenient with line-of-sight issues).

Spiders? ...
- move action: move to C15 (shadow walk grants me concealment)
- minor: curse nearest enemy (I have no idea if I think if the mummies look hostile or dead (or if that matters ...) but I'm hoping I curse the spider). either way, cursing deals 1 damage

fiery bolt:
- attack (1d20+9)[21] vs reflex. (+1 thx to prime shot (already calculated in))
- damage: (3d6+6)[20] fire
(curse, if applicable (1d6)[4])
(adjecent emeies, if applicable (1d6+9)[10])

[Inyssius Tor]

The warlock's fiery bolt splashes against the huge spider's chitin, and it hisses in pain. It skitters forward on eight long legs; then, gathering web-stuff, the creature uses two hind legs to press it together into a head-sized ball--and hurls the entangling projectile at the troublesome Gith, who dodges ably out of the way.

Kha'lymnm: You can indeed curse the spider; according to the precedents I've encountered, the mortal capacity for self-delusion knows few bounds.

[Inyssius Tor]

With the same great charge that had served him so well in his last encounter, Imsh Pathfinder leaps at the spider--who, in a blur of long barbed legs, deftly spears the barbarian out of the air and pins him to the ground with one spearlike leg. Trying to escape, Imsh delivers a mighty blow to the leg pinning him down. His blow leaves visible dents in the black chitin, but the barbed leg holds him still.

As Areimis looses a blast of icy magic at the monstrous spider (coating a section of it in frost, but otherwise not harming the creature), the webs around him begin shaking. Deep in the webbing, three mummified silhouettes begin to struggle, jerkily pulling themselves free of the larger snare around them. Still thickly wrapped in grey web-stuff, they begin to lurch toward the nearest targets. Their movements are erratic, stopping and starting with odd jerks as if something was imperfectly controlling their individual muscles, but each motion is startlingly fast by itself.

Imsh catches one harsh blow with the haft of his maul, absorbing the force of the attack; behind him, another mummy attacks Kha’lymnm—though he jumps back from the ensnaring strands, an aura of infernal shadow swirling around the gith. The eladrin Areimis isn’t quite so lucky, and an entangling arm smashes against his armor. He manages to turn the blow slightly with his longsword, but thick strands of webbing wrap themselves about his blade and arm.

Battle Report:

Imsh charges, and the spider (who has Threatening Reach 4) hits with an opportunity attack, grabbing the barbarian and dealing 12 damage. Imsh hits regardless, dealing 19 damage. In the future, damage dealt in this fashion will be reduced somewhat, but I felt bad about not somehow mentioning the threatening reach beforehand (I rather expected one of you to try a Dungeoneering check or something—but no, you charged right in).

The corpses attacked Imsh, Kha’ly, and Areimis. Only Areimis is hit, taking 11 damage; he is also marked until the end of the mummy’s next turn (that’s a -2 to attacks against anything other than the enemy that hit him).

Next up: Magmin, and then we’re back at the top with Kha’lymnm, Pelaios, and the giant spider.

Imsh ogles his would be mummifier to see what seems to be wrong with the guy.

Does Imsh take any damage from the hit? I assume the spider's basic attack Grabs and probably deals damage yeah? Otherwise, he can't grab as an OA (cripes I am asking for damage). I want to know because I might activate a magic item when it hits me (which will affect its turn). Thanks for letting me do full damage though.

Also, I wield a Maul, not a Greataxe. Don't stereotype me! Also, don't make me get hit. I can still block the brunt of an attack with my maul, yeah? Haha.

Fixed!

Perception check: that's exactly the check I was hoping you guys would make! Exactly! Another knowledge check might have done it, but writing this one will be so much fun!

I'll edit this to be more, you know, thematic as soon as I have net access again, but for now: it's undead, it's vulnerable to fire, it will inflict movement-hampering status effects on you if you hit it while adjacent, and it's full of nigh-mature spider eggs. Glistening black clusters fill the lungs, the arm, one eye, the mouth. Fire will burn them, damage will wake them, and concentrated damage will kill them before too many can come out and start piling on the hurt.
