Re: IC VIII Lost in the Flood
As Natalia moves to cut into the web, the spiders from the surrounding web begin swarming towards her in what looks like a defensive hive mind.
Spoiler
If Natalia wants to cut into the web, just FYI she'll be swarmed (it's pretty clear from looking around). So she would roll an initiative roll and a damage roll against an object (so no crit/sneak).

Re: IC VIII Lost in the Flood
Stephan has to fight back the urge to throw up, he had heard stories about places like this back in the arena, but he never gave them much credit, the Drows were insane, but even them couldn't have done something like this; or so he had though. "I think we should leave"

Re: IC VIII Lost in the Flood
Natalia pauses for a brief moment, breathing heavily and almost hoping someone else will do it. But just like with Ildan, she needs to help, even when they're running out of time...
Spoiler: QuestionBefore Natalia does anything, is there any way to figure out what's going on? And how much time have we spent? I don't want to waste too much time for you all. Especially if we're also going after the sword--are we?
EDIT:
Mithril grabbed Natalia's arms and held her back. "There is no-one in there. Rhenner, I think we found out the tortures of the crevice."Last edited by CoffeeIncluded; 2014-08-20 at 11:44 PM.

"Stephan!" Natalia moves to race after Stephan, but Mithril's words make her stop short."I'll ask what wanted! What do you want?" she signs. "To be free?"

Re: IC VIII Lost in the Flood
"Please what? Natalia, we are who knows how deep underground, over a giant chasm, being watched on all sides. All this while something or someone is in peoples minds, the world is going mad and 3 of our friends LEFT US, WERE KILLED OR ARE MISSING! So please what? Keep you from dying? Keep you from doing something that will only make your life worse? What do you want Natalia?"

Re: IC VIII Lost in the Flood
"Natalia.." Rhenner puts a hand on the girl's shoulder. He has been quiet 'til now, made speechless my the sight of the lonely eyes. "...Put the blade down. It can't help this one."

Re: IC VIII Lost in the Flood
Natalia draws back as if stung. "I--want stop! Want back! Want back where things simple, where we...and you were warmer...but...I know can't. I know..." She looks down at her hands. "Know not simple, but doesn't mean...can't help where or how...I know friends...know friends...why...can't leave..."
"Nothing? Not...whole evil here?" She closes her eyes and shudders. "Not...strong enough..."
As they dive after the sword, something Mithril said strikes her. Something or someone in peoples' minds? Peoples'. Plural. She thought it was just Hoodsie.My webcomic!

Re: IC VIII Lost in the Flood
"..." Natalia winces with a small pained sound, and turns away. "Then how...act at all?" she whispers.
There's nobody in there. Somehow Natalia knows just what she ought to do, but...but she can't just leave them. And she doesn't know if she can help them the only way she can.My webcomic!

Re: IC VIII Lost in the Flood
The party continues descending, glancing around at the webs that stretch along the crevice for any sign of Stephan's lost weapon. They pass by half a dozen more sprawling cobwebs, each seeming more sinister after their discovery. While the spiders that crawl along most seem normal sized, a couple of times they see spiders nearly as big as Shiny skittering along, sometimes in pairs or triplets.
As they navigate around one particularly thick web, they are unsettled to see a pair of blue eyes embedded inside its cobwebs, staring out at them as well.
Spoiler
Another spot check.

Re: IC VIII Lost in the Flood
That's it. That's the thing. Talking as if ...as if she doesn't understand. "I know! Understand! Younger, can't talk right, but...still not stupid. Just...when stronger, need to try..."
Natalia whimpers, a high groan, at the sight of the spiders. She can't help it, just they way the look sets her on edge.
Spoiler: Spot:(d20+13)[16]
Dammit. Up to you, especially you Dusk.

Re: IC VIII Lost in the Flood
After descending for about another twenty seconds, Stephan spots a stretch of web that seems to be gently quivering. Guessing that something might have fallen on it, his eyes follow it up, and he sees three spiders nearly the size of Shiny gathered around what looks like his sword.

Re: IC VIII Lost in the Flood
"You want...to grab?" Natalia stutters out. She was quiet the whole time they dove.

Re: IC VIII Lost in the Flood
"Allow me", Rhenner says. Holding his holy symbol, he begins to cast a spell. "Wise Fharlanghn, your faithful follower may have chosen to wander through this dark and horrible place, but he would like to do so without all these small cretins climbing all over him. In Your wisdom, would you grant this wish?"
There is no shining light or other flashy effect, but suddenly all the spiders on and around the cleric are pushed away by an invisible force. It seems to move with him too, for when he floats closer to the sword, its guardians are also pushed back (and the many other smaller ones).
Rhenner picks up the sword and eyes it briefly. The way he holds it shows that he's not used to such a weapon. "I do kind of like swords", he says absent-mindedly, "But back when I first joined the Church military the master-at-arms took one look at my fightning and told me to stick with something easier. ...He was probably right", the medic concedes and hands the weapon back to Stephan.
SpoilerAnyone who wishes to travel in a spider free zone can do so by staying close. (10 ft. radius)Last edited by CWater; 2014-08-21 at 03:10 PM.

Re: IC VIII Lost in the Flood
The web rocks back and forth furiously as the spiders large and small scurry away from the cleric, driven back by his magic.
As Rhenner draws close to the sword, he notices a third set of eyes a couple of yards from where the sword had fallen.Thanks to CoffeeIncluded for the avatar of Shiny, from the Eldgar campaign:

Re: IC VIII Lost in the Flood
"Sure, take it before I hurt myself", Rhenner's tone suggest he's quoting someone, possibly the previously mentioned armsmaster.
SpoilerWhat colour this time?
After noticing the eyes, Rhenner tries to avoid looking in their direction again, but he can't quite stop himself from stealing glances at them. Why do people look at things they know they don't really want to see?

Re: IC VIII Lost in the Flood
"..." Natalia sucks in a breath from between her teeth. As Rhenner casts the spell and pulls the sword free she moves close to him where the spiders won't go and whispers, "You think they watching? Telling?"
Spoilernot straight up, diagonally to save time.
And it's times like these I wish this was a real life game since Natalia has a lot of sound effects and it's hard to convey them online.My webcomic!

Re: IC VIII Lost in the Flood
The party begins to ascend, this time at a diagonal. They've lost about a minute, but based on their estimations from Zik's note should still be able to make it to the escape route.
As they ascend, the webs grow a bit thinner at first, but as they make their way deeper into the Crevice they appear to thicken again. Expanses of web come looming out of the darkness, forcing the party to navigate carefully through them. Anyone keeping their eyes out is greeted by the morbid appearance of further sets of eyes peering out at them within the webs- who knows how many more there are throughout the immense valley. Spiders scatter furiously when they draw close to a web thanks to Rhenner's spell, and Stephan's flaming sword lets them cut through obstacles when they're necessary, but the strangling effect of the surroundings is hardly lessened.
After a minute of flight the most horrifying tableau yet floats into view, when the party sees a humanoid figure sprawled out flat along a thick sheet of web, like a vision from a nightmare.Thanks to CoffeeIncluded for the avatar of Shiny, from the Eldgar campaign:
