(you do know, that I could have 5 ft stepped to the left, and given us BOTH a AOO, AND continued me being in a meele range, since I'm as BETTER in meele than a druid right now.)

Well sure , but you said you where stepping back out of the door and readying a trip , so thats what you did :)
You can still draw a weapon , take a 5ft step and attack now if you wish

[Fan]

(my weapon was already drawn.)
5 ft step, and beat down on the fire elemental.

Elemental Room

Aresk steps forward and with a mighty blow destroys the elemental , the flaming being is extinguished leaving only a pile of ash .

You are left standing in a room 60 feet by 45 feet , every 15 feet there is a step up leading to the far wall where there is a door . Along the side walls at regular intervals are 4 basins attached to the wall at waist height on each side .

You said I need my action so...

Vrryyn takes a 5 ft step back, puts his sword away and pulls out his bow.


Unfortunately, I can't shoot this round...

[tophat]

Spider Room

Jacob just manages to resist the poison but his swing is erratic ang goes wide , gallad fares little better

The spiders try to push for some advantage

attack gallad(1d20+4)[12]dam(1d4-2)[2] poison (1d3)[1]

attack Jacob(1d20+4)[9]dam(1d4-2)[1] poison (1d3)[3]

both miss I beleive .

Inititive for next round is good guys -spiders , the Elemental room is back into freeform as combat is over

[ColonelFuster]

Galad lifts his hammer off of the cold floor and makes a final heave at the spider, throwing the entirety of his weight into it.

Really starting to lose his cool at his inefficiency with dealing with the vermin scum, Jacob once again swung his morningstar heavily for the spider's skull.

[Dr.Gunsforhands]

Maple steps up to the doorframe and pokes her head in to look around the room. "Look like we're clear..."

The author mistypes, the character misspeaks. Most likely, no one else even notices.

*Snap!*

Startled, Maple looks down to see that she had just stepped on her second arrow, breaking it in two. Figures. She sighs briefly, but doesn't dwell overlong on it.

[Curious... now that commotion on our side has stopped, wouldn't this party be able to hear the hectic combat in the other room? I ask because Maple would immediately turn around to help once she notices such...]

[GimliFett]

Kiehn

With the elemental finally dispatched, Kiehn starts to head for the basins, when something draws his attention. "Whatthahellwasthat?" he exhales quickly, tilting his head and looking around.

[Zarpasphankaris]

Vrryyn takes shoots an arrow from his bow, hoping to take out the final spider

The shot misses by a whisker , galad smashes the face of the spider he is fighting into the floor killing it and jacob manages a glancing blow leaving most of his spiders carapace in ruins .

How did I know I'd fail that? Urgh, 3 strength damage for me then

As the spider once again sinks its teeth into Jacob's legs again, he feels the poison take effect on his bloodstream as his muscles seem to lose energy. He swings once morningstar wildly once more, uncontrolled rage backing up the blow in place of strength.

Jacob in his furious anger smashes the spider into a messy greenyblue black pulp . Gore spurts all over the place .

All of the spiders are dead .

(that last spider only had 1hp left , also i understand in 3.5 it just doubles/triples the damage rather than adding a dice on )

[Slamexo]

Actually in the player's handbook it says you roll twice (or more for higher crit ratings) as if you'd hit twice or such, but hey, it's your game and you can decide how crits go.

Also, I'm just gonna make that secondary fort save now (but of course not actually have anything happen for a minute if I fail )
(1d20+2)[10] Heh, another tie but thankfully pass.

Breathing heavily after crushing the last spider into the floor, Jacob wipes down his equipment of the vile creature's remains. He moves towards the door on the other side of the room, but stumbles on his leg, it being weakened by the spider's venom.

"Damn things, I think they were poisonous too."

Jacob tries to get up, but his leg collapses on him and he gracelessly tumbles back onto his hands and knees.

[Zarpasphankaris]

Vrryyn looks down at Jacob and helps him to his feet.

Hmm... are you alright Jacob? You seem very weak and frail. This indeed looks like the work of poison. We must get you some help!

[ColonelFuster]

"And me without an anti-toxin," Galad said, cleansing his new hammer with a large rag. "Bad luck, friend."

[Slamexo]

Giving Vrryyn a thankful nod for the help, Jacob steps off onto his own support and manages to keep his balance.

"Thanks, but it's not that bad a venom, I should be able to walk on my own for now."

Not willing to let battle wounds slow down the party, Jacob moves over to the door on the other side of the room and tries it.

[tophat]

So apart from some fine strands of a strange black webbing in the room there is a door at the far end , there dosent appear to be much more in the room

[Slamexo]

So is the door locked or trapped or anything?

[Dr.Gunsforhands]

Maple, in a rare moment of obliviousness, proceeds into the room unaware of the other team's spider troubles. This would turn out not to be a huge deal, as they quickly end up emerging victorious on their own, but she'll still be kicking herself over it when she finds out what happened later.

For now, though, she's just happy to observe that her current party is unharmed.

Seeming to recall talk of places like this being trapped, Maple takes care to watch her step, not to mention the rest of her surroundings, as she ascends the huge stairs.

(1d20)[19], +9 for spot, or +5 for search, whichever becomes relevant first.

Also, now that she's taking the time to notice,what are the circle things on either side of the room? Columns?

[tophat]

Jacob finds the door to be locked .

As Maple ascends to the next stair in the briefest of moments the air coalesceses into an almost visible form , it seems to be a being made of air , and it quickly takes a disliking to you .

[Slamexo]

After trying the door and finding it not budging, Jacob turns around to the others:

"It's locked, and unless one of you two knows how to pick a lock we're not getting through here anytime soon."

Turning around to check the door again, Jacob decides to give it a quick push to see if he can force it open.

Strength check! (1d20+1)[14]

the door wont budge

[ColonelFuster]

Galad sweeps the spiderwebs off of the door and blows away the dust of time, trying to read into it for any insignias.

[tophat]

The door looks fairly sold , has a lock and is locked , it has no markings of interest on it

[Dr.Gunsforhands]

[Blug, just went back and read about the scenery. Sorry about the temprorary dumbness...]

Maple recoils in surprise as the elemental spirit suddenly appears right in front of her. Unfortunately, the being would likely be smashing her face in by the time she could consider things any further.

[initiative gets +3, so she goes on count 10]

[Fan]

(Aresk goes on count 12.)
Aresk having still had his blade out, decided he DID in fact have a spell for this being.

Kiehn; Init: +4 for 14.

A puzzled look crosses the dwarf's face. "Again?" he sighs and moves up to help Maple, thrusting his rapier at the creature.
