Kroshav stoically casts bless on himself, Jaq and Joe, then sets the torch aside and lights up Sword.

((The door with lots of spiders would put Jaq 70ft south of where the party was last pictured and where Joe could see the webs. He would also hear the sounds from the entrance of that room much, much clearer than the others. If that is the case Kroshav wouldn't have been able to bless Jaq, unless Jaq dashes up to the rest of the party?

Joe using the light from the others, and assuming they didn't back all the way up with her so she couldn't see, would be 120ft away from where she shot the webs. That'd put her just past the first door you see to the west of where you were last pictured.))

((If Jaq's not there to bless, Kroshav would have held off, as a frequent attacker, Jaq's his main target to bless, Lurn and/or Joe are a bonus.))

(I was a bit confused as to where party was, sorry) Jaq would have been to the south of party, but not that far south, About 30 feet south of them.

((Okay, just so I am clear on placement now:

Joe is about 30 west of last pictured, Lurn and Kroshav have not moved and Jaq is 30 south of Lurn and Kroshav?))

That's good for Jaq. "They are coming from all directions, I'll be heading toward you two shortly. "

He then casts minor illusion, makes it into a thin rock wall at his max size, 5 cubic feet, and then he moves behind it and hunkers down a bit so he is 'hidden' behind it. He makes it so that he is hidden from enemies approaching from the south.

((So bless to Jaq and Joe. Yeah, third bless was usually Ves, then Celus or Jolly. With them gone it goes to Joe. Lurn would mostly benefit from save bump.))

You know, I have to wonder how we can know for two rounds that they're coming and still roll so badly, but I guess they were preparing before that. XD

As Joe flees west and Jaq hides to the south both Lurn and Kroshav stay steadfast in the middle of the intersection.

The first to see what is coming from the south is Jaq. Seven large spiders skitter out of the doorway to the larger room and up towards the intersection. Some are on the floor, some are on the ceiling and some are on the wall but they all look to be in a hurry. A few reach the edge of the light being cast by Kroshav's torch, light reflecting off their black eyes. One on the floor moves quite close to Jaq and stops its dash north to turn and inspect the spot the elf is hidden.

((It is 10 feet from Jaq. Give me an animal handling please.))

From the north Lurn and Kroshav (and Jaq if he looks) spot a similar number of large spiders as they enter the light. Everyone but Jaq can see that something is happening around the webbing that is smoldering away, it is difficult to tell what exactly is being done but there is a lot of movement and occasionally parts of the smoldering web darken only to flare up again.

From her position Joe doesn't see anything yet.

((Please give me a nature roll on the spiders if you think it is appropriate to you characters Dlover and Spider.))

Initiative:
South ???
Jaq (Bless)
North ???
East ???
Joe (Bless)<----
Lurn
Kroshav (Bless)

animal handling: 1D20 = [8] = 8


(Jaq was actually gonna snipe at the first spider or two when he sees them, but when he sees that many coming, he would have changed his mind to see what is actually going on)

(How far away is Jaq from Lurn and Kroshav?)

((Or... maybe not.... Spider knowledge?: 1D20-2 = [1]-2 = -1

Nature: 1D20-1 = [7]-1 = 6
Since back when we encountered the giant centipede we'd thought it was a spider and Lurn had gotten very excited saying that someone he'd trained with had a pet spider.

So since it is spiders and Joe evidently has no intention of considering not upsetting the spiders, I'm gonna call it a yes on activating the held Spirit Guardians, naming our group for unaffected targets.

For Lurn's action... Have the Spiritual Weapon attack any spider near the intersection, and Toll the Dead that one afterward.

Spiritual Weapon Attack: 1D20+8 = [8]+8 = 16
1D8+5 = [6]+5 = 11


Toll The Dead damaged; undamaged: 2D12 = [9, 10] = 19
2D8 = [2, 3] = 5

Two rolls for TTD, first if Spiritual Weapon hits, the second if it doesn't.

I can pre-roll a few of them, sure? But since Spirit Guardians isn't just a bang done AoE like Fireball, we have it so each enemy rolls their own damage don't we? So, uh, how many are we going to need? For now, here's a half dozen;

Spirit Guardians damages: 3D8 = [2, 4, 3] = 9
3D8 = [3, 1, 3] = 7
3D8 = [4, 4, 6] = 14
3D8 = [1, 3, 7] = 11
3D8 = [4, 4, 1] = 9
3D8 = [2, 7, 4] = 13

((Would have been happy with one for all of them! Several spiders are around 20ft north and south of the intersection. Lurn is closer to the southern spiders so I'll drop the spirit hammer there. Real update later tonight!))

((There? Spirit Guardians centres on the caster and sticks around there for anything that comes into range, so it'll be around the intersection area where we are, though?))
