Tests and Trials

[spiderwrangler]

Concerned for Lurn, Kroshav will spend another 5 to cleanse the firbolg of toxins.

[Rodgeir]

Kroshav channels even more healing magic into Lurn and the sick feeling and paralysis disappear! Unfortunately as Kroshav's attention is turned the sole remaining south spider attacks the dragonborn again, this time successfully finding scales. Kroshav stiffens and drops in a heap beside Lurn.

South spider eating Kroshav!: 1D20+5 = [15]+5 = 20

Jaq will pop out of the north door and look over towards where Joe is and send an arrow flying at the Larger dark spider.

Longbow attack: 1D20+9+1D4 = [4]+9+[2] = 15

arrow with sneak: 1D8+6+3D6 = [7]+6+[1, 3, 5] = 22


He then moves back in the room, per usual, head towards the south door and hides while still in the room.
Stealth with advantage from cloak: 2D20.HIGH(1)+11 = [12, 15]+11 = 26

[Rodgeir]

Jaq leans out and casually kills the black spider near Joe before scampering away, he has got a smooth process now.

The remaining north spider by Joe tries to stop her noise and movement with a firm bite but an invisible barrier blocks it, unfortunately the bright little one joins and manages to get through before again disappearing.

1D10+2 = [2]+2 = 4
4D8 = [4, 6, 2, 5] = 17

((Two One con saves please Lost))

The two brightly colored smaller spiders walk around on Kroshav before noticing that Lurn is twitching. Both walk over and bite at him. One gets only armor but the other sinks its fangs deep into the firbolg's neck sending him back into painful darkness. Both spiders then disappear.

((No change in positions beyond Jaq's move.))

[Dlover]

((These spiders have crit me twice now. >.> Not that it would have needed it, with only 5hp.))

[The Lost]

Joe casts shield! So the first one misses!

Con: 2D20.HIGH(1)+3 = [3, 17]+3 = 20


Joe then casts magic missile on the large one.
Magic missile: 3D4+3 = [4, 3, 2]+3 = 12

[Rodgeir]

((@Lost, So noted and edited above!))

Joe looses a series of bolts of energy that punch through the last remaining north spider, dropping it nearly on top of her.

The remaining south spider, seeing no targets nearby, dash moves towards Joe. Kroshav and Lurn are left unmoving in a pile of dead spiders.

((Jaq doesn't know the status of either of them at this point but could move closer and do a medicine check if he chooses.))

Initiative:
South ???
Jaq<-----
North ???
East ???
Joe (-24 HP)(Restrained)
Lurn (K.O.)
Kroshav (K.O.)

((The only remaining visible spider is 30' east of Joe. There are three smaller spiders somewhere, but neither Joe nor Jaq can see them.))

[The Lost]

Did you take in account she has resist to posion damage as well?

[NotStickFigures]

Jaq pops out of the door again (South of K and L) and is ready to shoot at a spider again, but when he sees none, he begins moving north towards his two downed friends, while moving there he reaches into his backpack and grabs one of the dirty looking old healing potions and will get ready to force feed it to Lurn. (How far can he get? he will use cunning action for more movement if needed and will save action for the potion use) He is concerned about more spiders so he is scanning for others. "Wake up Lurn, we need your healing." he whispers in what almost sounds like a prayer.

[Rodgeir]

((@Lost -yes, it's in the spoiler 21->10->5.

Jaq would need to use his cunning action to reach Lurn this turn.))

As Jaq moves around the corner of the intersection he can see a single spider moving towards Joe, opening a potion he gets a whiff of dirt.

((Roll me a d10 please NSF.))

[The Lost]

( it still shows her hp as -26 when previous turn it was -16?)

[Rodgeir]

((Okay let's see, -16 plus -4 piercing plus...wait it's actually -4 (17->8->4). Took the to hit rather than poison, sorry. So -24 rather than -26.

Updated!))

[Dlover]

((Let's hope one of the outcomes of these potions going off is antivenom.))

[NotStickFigures]

Rolling for anti-venom, maybe: 1D10 = [9] = 9

[Rodgeir]

Jaq poors the old potion into Lurn's mouth. The firbolg regains awareness again as the surprisingly tasty fluid pours down his throat. Too much in fact as he is still unable to properly swallow. For a few terrifying moments he thinks he is going to drown in the very potion that brought him back to awareness but it somehow absorbs into his mouth and throat. He would probably cough if he could.

Old potion healing: 3D4+2 = [1, 3, 4]+2 = 10


The two brightly colored smaller spiders reappear around Jaq as he is hunkered over Lurn. They leap towards the elf, sinking their fangs deep.

► Show Spoiler

Getting Jaq, yum: 1D20+4 = [16]+4 = 20
1D10+2 = [9]+2 = 11
4D8 = [4, 7, 2, 8] = 21
1D20+4 = [18]+4 = 22
1D10+2 = [6]+2 = 8
4D8 = [4, 4, 6, 7] = 21

((Two con saves please NSF!))

A single spider reappears behind Joe and bites at her.

► Show Spoiler

Tasty Joe: 2D20.HIGH(1)+4 = [11, 17]+4 = 21
1D10+2 = [3]+2 = 5
4D8 = [7, 7, 2, 1] = 17

((Con save please Lost!))

Initiative:
South ???
Jaq (-19 HP+Poison damage)
North ???
East ???
Joe (-29 HP+Poison damage)(Restrained)<-----
Lurn (10 HP, paralyzed)
Kroshav (K.O.)

((There are currently two spiders on Jaq and one on Joe. Another spider is heading to Joe and will reach her next turn.))

[NotStickFigures]

(I pretty much assumed this would happen...but then we all die at once!)

Con saves: 1D20 = [6] = 6
1D20 = [18] = 18


When the spiders appear and end up next to him he uses his rogue scout skirmisher ability to move out of their melee range (Able to move half his movement range with no aoo) south, hopefully before any poison effect keeps him from moving.

[The Lost]

_: 2D20.HIGH(1)+3 = [3, 11]+3 = 14


Joe will then hurl a mm at the nasty small spider

_: 3D4+3 = [4, 3, 1]+3 = 11



Aprox how much damage did it take?

[Rodgeir]

Jaq moves to escape and takes a step before dropping on his face.

((I thought Jaq had more hp, he was out even with the saves. Sorry!))

Joe darts the bright smaller spider and it dies, sliding away. The next two bolts...?

((Are asking how many bolts it took to drop it? One bolt would have killed it (saying it did 5 damage). You want to redirect the others to the big spider approaching Joe? The other smaller spiders are also in range.))

[The Lost]

Next two bolts into the other phase spiders please, most damaged one first and hope it drops with one as well, if not it’ll take two.


(I didn’t know how much damage it took so far so that’s a relief)

[Rodgeir]

(Oh and poison from the last attack 17->8->4. So Joe is at -33.))

The remaining two bolts fly down the hall and each strike a bright spider, which effectively gets their attention. Both disappear.

The last remaining large spider skitters forward and bites Joe in her webby nest. Joe manages to twist just in time so it gets only air.

Spider fangs into Joe: 2D20.HIGH(1)+5 = [8, 4]+5 = 13
1D10+3 = [7]+3 = miss
4D8 = [6, 7, 4, 8] = miss


((Joe is up! One rough looking big spider next to her and two smaller spiders... somewhere.))

[The Lost]

”Feck!!!”


Joe will try to eldrich blast the big boy. _: 2D20.LOW(1)+6 = [3, 13]+6 = 9
1D10 = [3] = 3
2D20.LOW(1)+6 = [2, 20]+6 = 8
1D10 = [4] = 4


(I meant for both bolts to attack one if it didn’t drop

Next two bolts into the other phase spiders please, most damaged one first and hope it drops with one as well, if not it’ll take two.

...sorry my instructions were unclear, but I meant target most damaged first to attmpt to kill it and remaining bolts to the other phase spider.



...and I should have epected to miss terribly with ev and mm instead....

Edit: what action is it to use a scroll? She has a hw scroll...

[Rodgeir]

((You must have changed your post after I first looked, I specifically thought about the targeting. Either that or I am going crazy... The spider survives and disappears.

It takes an action to read a spell scroll but Joe couldn't make heads nor tells of the scroll labelled HW. If Lurn had given it a look recently he would have identified it as Mass Heal (not Healing Word). Either way Joe couldn't cast it, unfortunately!))

The big spider dodges the bolts and manages to sink her fangs in this time.

Spider fangs into Joe again: 2D20.HIGH(1)+5 = [13, 15]+5 = 20
1D10+3 = [4]+3 = 7
4D8 = [3, 2, 8, 4] = 17


The other two spiders don't reappear...

((Even with a successful save Joe is down, 33+7+4= K.O. Joe!))

[Rodgeir]

((Well... Going to need some time for the next post.))

[Rodgeir]

Lurn awakens in time to see Jaq fall down with a grunt, a spider on his shoulder. A few moments later he hears blasts and cursing that can only be Joe's. He then hears her scream and the cursing stops.

Lurn lays on the cold floor looking at a dead spider and the wall beyond it unable to move. Out of his field of vision he hears scraping, scratching and dragging sounds and marks when Kroshav's torch gutters out leaving only his shield to provide light.

A spider passes in front of him then returns and sprays him with webbing, partially covering his view. He feels as the spider, one of the bright ones, climbs around on him before suddenly disappearing.

Then, for a very long time, Lurn hears nothing. It is as quiet as a grave. Straining he is nearly able to blink his watery eyes. Something passes in front of him, not a spider? There is a crunch and the sound of metal being shifted. Then Lurn hears a muffled impact followed by a quiet, nasty laugh a few feet away.

Lurn watches helpless as a dark leather gloved hand grab wretches his glowing shield away and tosses it far down the hall. Everything is cast into shadow and darkness as a hand rolls him into his back.

Lurn hears in Elven,

"Whatever this one is, it's awake."

He hears a quiet thwack and feels a sharp pain in his chest before darkness overwhelms everything.

[Rodgeir]

Joe

► Show Spoiler

Joe awakens slowly, shivering in the darkness. She feels that her arms and legs have been tightly, almost cruelly bound and are being moderately stretched so they can't be bent. She has a foul smelling hood over her head and has been gagged with a strip of what she hopes is leather. All but her small clothes have been removed. Nothing reacts to her initial movements but she does hear a hoarse, cutting cough somewhere far off.

((What do you do?))

Jaq

► Show Spoiler

Jaq awakens slowly, head hurting. He finds himself sitting in a cushioned chair, warmed by a nearby fire in a make-shift hearth. The fire provides the only light in the small room. It looks to have the same walls as the rest of archives but attempts have been made to cover them with clothes and sheets of varying quality and diverse designs. In a corner a small desk covered with papers sits unoccupied beside a door and a bed sits against the far wall. Jaq is unable to see behind him due to the high back of the chair he is in, and as he attempts to turn he finds his arms have been securely bound to the arms of the chair. Further testing, and a glance down, shows that his legs have been bound to the chair's and a leather band across his chest. The chair also looks to have been secured to the floor. None of these things bode particularly good things.

A throat is cleared behind Jaq and a chair is carried into his field of vision and placed directly across from him, perhaps five feet away. The person carrying the chair has the slim features and build of an elf but the tell-tail white hair and dark skin of a drow. He is dressed all in black leather except for a very familiar cloak. He is clearly carrying sabre and a hand crossbow as well as a very long jagged knife which he has pulled out and rests on his lap.

He gives Jaq a very unpleasant smile before saying,

"Hello cousin. To what do we owe the pleasure of your visit?"

Kroshav

► Show Spoiler

Kroshav awakens, shivering to two voices making a constant racket in his throbbing head.

Ealu, at full volume, is just yelling,

"KROSHAVVVVVVV! KROSHAVVVVVVV!!!!!!!!!! I KNOW YOU ARE NOT DEAD. WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP!WAKE UP!WAKE UP!WAKE UP!WAKE UP!WAKE UP!WAKE...."

Sword on the hand is simply screaming, albeit more faintly than Ealu,

"NOOO! NOOO!" Over and over again.

He is able to quickly determine he is sitting on a cold stone floor, arms spread spread and fastened somehow to the walls. His armor is gone along with everything but his small clothes. It is pitch black and based on the nasty smell of morning breath he probably has a hood on. There is also a leather gag unpleasantly far down his throat. Oh, and they bothered to tie legs together too. Rather painfully and he can't feel his feet so well.

As he sits there regaining his awareness he can hear someone coughing hoarsely nearby.

((What do you do?))

Lurn

► Show Spoiler

Lurn awakens shivering and feeling sick, laying in something wet and oozy. His arm has been tied up over him to something and his legs have been bound together. He can feel a hood over his head but there doesn't seem to be any light. He can taste what is hopefully a leather gag. He can feel that he has been stripped down to his small clothes and his entire side is covered in something sludgy.

Nearby something...no somethings are moving around and occasionally drawing near to him and brushing alongside him. Not too far off someone coughs hoarsely.

((What do you do?))
