Re: The Complex of Doom (IC)

The party nervously waits for the Phase Spider to reappear, surrounded by the waving bits of web and dim lighting.
Repelled by the insectbane candle, the swarm moves up the tunnel towards fresh prey, attacking Bartaby.

Re: The Complex of Doom (IC)
Round 5, Part 2
Ganis, Tharia, and Khurdrum wait for the Phase Spider, attempting to ambush the ambush predator.
Ferris hacks at some webbing, while Bartaby moves to the protected aura of the insectbane candle and heals himself with a touch of negative energy.
Torlak breathes fire on the spider swarm, killing most of the remaining spiders; few enough remain to be safely ignored.

Re: The Complex of Doom (IC)
Round 6, Part 1
The big room is silent except for the rustling of webs disturbed by fire and movement.
The phase spider appears at the turn in the hallway, and several members of the party burst into action. Tharia’s axe bites into the spider as it tries to handle the many threats around it, Ganis lands a jet of fire dead center, and Khurdrum cracks its exoskeleton with his spiked chain.
Spoiler
The readied actions go off before the spider’s attack in initiative order. I’m processing them based on character’s initiative modifiers.
1)
Tharia hits for 11 thanks to the flanking bonus.
2)
Ganis casts scorching ray, but provokes an AOO in doing so.
AOO Attack (1d20+7)[8] vs AC 12 miss
Damage (1d6+4)[9] plus poison if hits
Fort DC 17 or (1d8)[7] CON damage
Fort save (1d20+4)[6]
If the attack hits, concentration check to prevent disrupted spellcasting (1d20+8)[11]
Assuming the spell goes off, Ganis easily hits for 18 damage.
3)
Khurdrum hits the spider for 8 damage
Burnt and leaking ichor, the barely-living spider attacks Khurdrum again, and then disappears.
Spoiler
Attack (1d20+7)[16] vs AC 15 hit
Damage (1d6+4)[9] plus poison if hits
Fort DC 17 or (1d8)[6] CON damage
Fort save (1d20+5)[21] includes -7 con penalty and +2 racial save vs poisons. Tyche’s Touch has been used up. saved
Spoiler: Map & Status
I have tagged the map with light grey markings for the last known location of the Phase Spider, since the question came up a couple of times.
Phase spider 62
Bartaby 1
Ferris 4
Ganis 6
Tharia 8
Torlak 1
Khurdrum 14, poisoned (5 & 7 rounds until secondary saves), -7 CON

Re: The Complex of Doom (IC)
Torlak moves up into the hallway, and prepares to finish off that spider, if he needs to.
Spoiler: OoCBlaarrgh. For the record, I didn't post anywhere else, either. Could find the time to open the thread, though not post. >.<
Moving to IX 354, and readying an action to burn that darn spider. (3d6)[8] fire damage, if needed.

Re: The Complex of Doom (IC)
Ganis
Ganis narrowly ducks a nasty swipe. "whoa!" he exclaims. He prepares to cause another burst of fire if the spider appears.
Spoiler
Ganis will ready another action to use fiery burst on the spider since the last area it occupied didn't have friendies in it.
If need be he'll take a 5 ft step back to avoid a AoO and he'll forgo his action if he can't position the attack to not hit his team mates.
Fiery burst : (2d6)[7] DC 16

Re: The Complex of Doom (IC)
Khurdurm looks at Tharia with a nod.
"Aye, lass. That fiendish beasts poison be working it's way through me system as we speak. I have some magic that will help but I don't know if it be enough." With that he offers up a prayer to Kossuth to protect his servant.

Hmmm... thought I had picked up Lesser Restoration but it would seem I'm incorrect!

"Creeped out more than anything. I see some bundles, people sized up in the webs, we should keep clearing this so the big guys won't be behind us." Ferris lets out as he continues slashing through the dense webbing.

"Sorry, lad. I don't have anything that can help with poison." Torlak says. "... But I think watching spiderwebs burn will be cathartic?" He continues, before going and starting to clear the spider webs from the rest of the room.
Spoiler: OoCTook the 1 damage off my char sheet.
Torlak will be burning away webs for now, avoiding the bundles.

Re: The Complex of Doom (IC)
Tharia quickly walks over to Khurdurm. "Let me have a look at the bites." She will then examine his wounds and try to help him thwart the poison with some minor herbs. "You look also very pale. I will try to do something against it tomorrow, but I won't be able to fix it completely, I fear. The Allfather is generous, but I am not the fastest learner."
Spoiler: OOC
I assume that I can do this without having bought any actual equipment. Somehow never thought about it.

Re: The Complex of Doom (IC)
Using her training in the healing arts, Tharia is able to drain some of the remaining poisons out of Khurdrum's wounds, preventing it from further weakening his body.

Re: The Complex of Doom (IC)
Torlak and Ferris continue to destroy webbing until almost none is left except the three large bundles. A few vials or flasks are revealed.

Re: The Complex of Doom (IC)
Tharia is already at her way back to the action. If she has time before, she sends a short prayer to Moradin and moves her hand over her bruises making some of them vanish.
Spoiler: OOC
If she has the time before Ferris starts, she uses Lay on Hands for 4 points of damage. She stands behind Ferris, longspear in hand, readying to stab whatever aggressive might come out.

Re: The Complex of Doom (IC)
Round 0
Ferris slices open the bundle of webbing with a long, dexterous stroke. The webbing rips, tears, and keeps moving after his sword is to the side, as a skeleton pushes itself up off the ground, lifting the sheet of webbing and tossing it to the side.
Ferris and Tharia both strike at the skeleton as it stands. Ferris' blade skips off of the shield, while Tharia hits hard enough to break several bones. The skeleton retaliates by clawing ineffectually in Ferris' general direction.
Spoiler
AOOs, skeleton is denied dex to AC.
Ferris AOO
Attack (1d20+10)[12] miss
Damage (1d4+2)[5]
Tharia AOO
Attack (1d20+6)[17] hit
Damage (1d8+3)[11] DR reduces this to 6
Skeleton claw
Attack (1d20+1)[11] miss
Damage (1d4+1)[3]
The top layer of webbing removed, the skeletons in the other two bundles now have leverage, and tear free, standing up.
Spoiler
They made the strength checks to burst free. Std to burst, move to stand.
Did you know that Skeletons receive Improved Initiative as a bonus feat?
As the skeletons stand, a few piles of gold pieces are disturbed and clatter to the ground, along with a few other small items you don’t have time to inspect now.
The skeleton closest to Ferris is carrying a small metal shield which still appears to be undamaged, and indeed barely dirty. The next skeleton back has thicker bones and might have originally been one of the humanoids the group recently fought. The one in the back is another human-sized skeleton, and is wielding a bow. Its quiver of arrows is partly inside its ribcage, but you think it can probably reach the arrows to draw and fire when it has time.
