Knowledge:Nature - (1d20+2)[18]

[Magnus_Samma]

(The creature does in fact appear to be a hunting spider of the gargantuan variety. It is roughly fifty feet away.)

[Winged One]

Achille works his way toward the spider, drawing his axe on the way. As the axe bursts into flame, he leaps even closer to his target.

[ooc]Move/draw toward the spider, then initiate Sudden Leap(make a Jump check as a swift action).
Jump - (1d20+5)[19][/ooc]

[Resonance]

McCormick

Seeing that the group has a drop on the giant beastie takes care to arm and ready the Kothor's cross bow.

(OCC: I imagine having surprise may negate burning up around just looking at the stupid thing and pondering its existence for a few seconds before we knowingly look to have arachnid legs on the barby. )

[Hoorex]

ooc:I'm sorry guys, school gave me little time to do much, but I'll be more reliable now.
Brute
"What the hell is that thing?!"
(1d20)[18]

[Magnus_Samma]

Casfal's crossbow bolt lodges itself in the spider's head. It whirls around with a horrific chittery scream, glaring balefully at the Kothar that just shot it.

(Order: Casfal-24
Brute-18
Wrench-17
Ike-13
McCormick-13
Spider- 7
Achille- 4

Go ahead and give me your second round actions.)

[Lord Iames Osari]

Casfal steps five feet back and attempts a Concentration check to regain his psionic focus.

Concentration - (1d20+2)[16]

((hey, wait a sec. I have a +4 bonus. If you'll let me reroll, then I get
(1d20+4)[7]; if not, I got an 18))

Wrench
Round 1
Init: 17
AC: 21 (vt 9, ff 21) (-1 Size, 12 Armor)
HP: 8/8, Kothar HP: 30/30

Wrench advances 40 ft towards the monster. He struggles through the terrain that hampers him from getting close enough to attack quickly. However, at the end of his effort, he is within range of hitting the beast with the flaming axe.

{OOC: I think you mean our first round actions, since that was a surprise round. Otherwise, I may have to shove WO into a pit of used hypodermic needles.

Also, difficult terrain sucks. At least I got 10 ft reach now, so I can attack first thing next turn.}

[Not a Paladin]

Ike d'Cannith

Ike loads his crossbow and fires a bolt at the spider.

(OoC: Attack roll: (1d20+3)[8]
Damage: (2d8+2)[10]
Curse you, Runcible Spoon!)

[Winged One]

[ooc]Achille lost initiative so badly that I'm tempted to delay it into the next round, so I need to know what the spider does.[/ooc]

[Magnus_Samma]

(Well, the surprise round was the first round, it was just surprising. I guess? I dunno. Alright, let's call it the second round.)

Ike's crossbow bolt glances off the one already imbedded in the creature's head, spins through the air, and lands point first in the ground in front of the beast. It blinks at it for a second.

[Hoorex]

Brute
Flexing his Kothar's metal joints, he'll scream, raging like a mad-man! His bloodthristy rage now in effect, the berserk tin-man trudges through the thick terrain, slowly making his way to the massive spider, his axe flailing about like hail storm.

[Winged One]

[ooc]That's nice. Going to take any actions in the suprise round and/or the first combat round besides raging, which is a free action?[/ooc]

[Hoorex]

rolls
(1d20+6)[26]

[Resonance]

McCormick

Decides that the axe is the best approach for such a beast and re-holsters the cross bow.

[Magnus_Samma]

The spider's eyes take on an eerie green glow as it turns towards Brute and leaps at his Kothar, flailing with its legs and fangs. It scratches up the armor's paint job a bit, but doesn't suceed in dealing any real damage. Brute's axe cuts deeply into it, spraying purple-ish ichor, but the spider doesn't seem to register the damage.

(Wrench and Brute are now easily within reach of the spider, Casfal, you can take that 18, I guess. McCormick can walk up to the spider and attack on his next turn. Time for the next turn's actions. Ike, you gonna do anything this round?)

[Not a Paladin]

(OoC: How far is the spider from me?)

[Magnus_Samma]

(About thirty feet. *Will work on having a map next time. :P*)

[Not a Paladin]

Ike d'Cannith

Ike loads another crossbow bolt and fires it. At the spider, that is.

(OoC: Attack with heavy crossbow: (1d20+3)[15]
Damage: (2d8+2)[14]
Somehow, I doubt that that bolt hit. I don't know what kind of AC that spider is getting, though.)

[Asmodeus]

{OOC: I assume since I was threatening, that I get an AoO when the spider jumped. Spider started at 50 ft away. I advanced 40 ft during round 1. 10 ft reach = threatening.}

Wrench
Round 1 cont.
Attack of Opportunity

Wrench attacks with the flaming battleaxe, using both hands for greater damage, as the spider jumps towards Brute.

Attack - (1d20+5)[14]
Modifiers: 5 STR, -1 Size, +1 Enhancement
Slashing Damage - (2d6+7)[11]
Modifiers 5 STR x 1.5
Fire Damage - (1d6)[3]

Edit: Forgot to add +1 Enhancement to Slashing Damage modifier. Actual total should be 12.

[Lord Iames Osari]

Casfal reloads his crossbow and takes a five foot step back, designating the spider for the purposes of Dodge.

[Winged One]

[ooc]I meant Achille to move 20 feet, not 15; I forgot we had increased speed. Does that change anything? Also, did you take the results of Achilles jump toward the spider into account?[/ooc]

[Magnus_Samma]

(Winged One: Go ahead and assume you can get within range, I guess. I might be stupid, but I can't really figure out what the jump was supposed to do?)

[Winged One]

[ooc]Just a regular long jump, taken as a swift action instead of as part of movement. So basicly it was to move him 24 feet towards the spider's position(his other movement made it count as having a running start.[/ooc]

[Hoorex]

Brute
Cocky because of his immense strength, the warforged gets ready for a devastating attack. Focusing on his target, he lets forth a onslaught of a blow upon the creatures thick hide!
((Power Attack, -1 to hit))
(1d20+4)[9]
(1d10+9)[17]

[Winged One]

[ooc]You can't Power Attack higher than your BAB, and we're level 1.[/ooc]

[Magnus_Samma]

Wrench and Brute deliver punishing blows to the spider, sending up further sprays of ichor, but also revealing something disturbing- beneath the exoskeleton and organic tissue, the spider is full of what looks supsiciously like metallic rods.

And instant later Ike's crossbow bolt impacts with the thing's body, and it explodes, sending pieces of shrapnel whizzing through the air like the birth of the universe. When the dust clears, pretty much everybody's Kothar is splattered with spider guts and so full of metal shards that they look like really messy porcupines.

(Ike and Brute's Kothars each take two points of damage, Wrench's takes three, and everyone else's takes one.)

[Asmodeus]

Wrench

Knowledge Arcitecture and Engineering - (1d20+3)[6]

Wrench thinks for a moment, pondering what exactly that artificial spider could have been, and where it might have come from, or what its purpose was here.
