Kanok snorts in agitation; these web-slingers were getting on his nerves. He leans out from behind his tree and aims his fiery palm towards the furthest one. The flames eject from his hand as if fired from a bow, leaving a thin trail of wispy smoke. He then puts his back to the tree for a moment, glancing in the opposite direction from the creatures in the trees to make sure he isn't being flanked.

Taesha struggled with the biding webs that suddenly held her, and tried to escape whilst rifling through her memories for some knowledge of these creatures. If she could get her arms free, she would hurl her spear at the creature before her.

[CWater]

The creature evades and Taesha's spear gets stuck on the tree, that also catches fire from Kanok's spell. Taesha remembers similiar tales as him about these creatures, that they are vicious carnivores that climb trees with ease, and are known to ensnare people in their web traps, before rendering them helpless with their poisonous bites.

Climb (1d20+2)[7] vs DC 15

Asha reached up for the limb close to the creature above her when the branch beneath her foot finally gave way to the years of rot that had grown through it. Her left had busy holding the spear, and her right in the process of reaching out, Asha could not stop her fall.

[CWater]

The other creature shrieks as its surroundings start to turn fiery and it climbs down from the tree. It seems to hesitate for a moment but seeing Taesha who's stuck in the web it heads towards her and tries to bite her.

Taesha's has AC 15 due to the Dex penalty for being entangled.

The other creature looks puzzled (or, it probably does, a bit hard to tell with a face like that) when it hears the thud from Asha's fall, but doesn't see anyone. Seeing no nearer target though, it spits web against the closest one still free, Fang:

His turn comes after the creature's (someone guess in OOC what they are already so I can use that!), but he can still attack it.

Stiira takes a few steps back, possibly subconsciously, and casts another spell. A shimmering blue shield appears in the air in front of her.

The spiders pass through a tree and continue forward. Kanok watches their strange movement and suddenly he gets a glimpse of something white and realizes what they are doing. They're unfolding an almost transparent web.

[Seharvepernfan]

Kanok sees his opportunity as the creature clambers down from it's tree. Still leaning out from behind the tree, he lowers his aim and "fires" again at the thing. His aim is poor yet again, however, and the ball of flame streaks past the creature, actually creating a path that flies between both creatures as it goes into the distance. Kanok growls in frustration (oddly similar to his dog), running out from the tree to close with the damned thing while drawing his club, vaulting over Fang as he does so.

Having pulled herself free from the net, Taesha felt a renewed sense of freedom, though she could feel the creature's poison flowing through her veins, making her feel sluggish.

She darted forward and left high into the air in order to strike at the creature in the tree.

Jump check to get level with the creature (which was still in the tree at this point): (1d20+17)[23] (DC dependent on the height of the tree)

Once the creatures had climbed down from the trees Taesha grinned. Enough with these webs! It was time to destroy these creatures. But she was too close, her fighting style was that of the leaping tiger, the striking bird.

She darted away from the creature attacking her and sped towards the exposed rear of the other creature, leaping into the air to land slashing behind it.

Ah, getting away from the web was a move action, so Taesha couldn't also jump that turn. The ettercap had just bit her, so it was in range for one attack from her (the first you rolled), although unfortunately that was a miss. I'm sorry for this confusion.

Taesha shrugs of the effects of the second poisonous bite. As she turns around to head for the other ettercap, the first tries to bite her one more time.

Bite: (1d20+5)[16]

Taesha leaps forward and slashes the other creature twice, leaving deep cuts. At the same Aidan shoots an arrow to its neck and a spear seemingly out of nothing stabs it from behind, though its holder turns visible too right after. With its multiple wounds, the ettercap falls down to the grass, dead.

Spoiler

The charms of block initiative, now we'll never know who actually got the kill.

Kanok's small fireball passes this gathering and flies towards the forest before something stops it. There was a web behind the other ettercap, quickly consumed by the fire.

Fang fails to break from the web covering it.

The rock thrown by Tuntematon hits the other ettercap hard on the head and with angry shrieks, it runs away, climbing another tree. The spiders stop their advancement and climb higher on the closest tree. (AB38)

Kanok curses and unstraps his shield, tossing it back towards the others, then gets out his bone shortbow, nocking an arrow.

[CWater]

Aidan's arrow scratches the ettercap in the tree. It's hard to tell through the leaves and flames, but it doesn't seem to be concentrating on the group at the moment. Instead, it's doing something with the webbing up in the tree.

Taesha also cathes a glimpse of some large bundles of web up there. At least two that are about as large as the ettercap itself.

The other two trees are still on fire, but it hasn't spred any further. Taesha's spear in the left one might be in danger of becoming charred though.

[Seharvepernfan]

Leaning around the side of his tree, Kanok peers into the boughs of the tree the creature retreated to, trying to see if there is anything to the webbing that entangles the tree. After getting a good look, he takes aim at the spider-man, draws his bow and lets loose.

Kanok glances through the leaves and branches he sees the ettercap unfastening a bundle of web, about Stiira's size, from one of the bigger branches. There are also two other bundles that are a bit larger, attached to the tree trunk. They're all about 10 ft. above ground level.

Kanok fires an arrow, but it misses the ettercap and disappears to the forest.
