Cliff A righteous blow from Hardcastle sends the ghoul reeling back a step or two, giving her a moment to recover before the next assault comes. However, Gordon swings wide and leaves a prime chance for it to take a nip from him. He can feel the toxins immediately begin coursing through the wound. The followup swipe toward Hardcastle is deflected, again. The Ghoul is Staggered! Ghoul gets a free bite when Gordon rolls a natural odd miss, 8 damage, 10 ongoing poison (save ends). Init: Hardcastle: 12 Gordon: 10 Cavers: I'll remind MSW to post, but feel free to go ahead with your next turn's actions.

Yusha Yusha pauses, looking perturbed. "Apparently these are not the most sociable of spiders. Maybe, in the future, we can try to dress a little less like their natural prey? I will sew many false eyes into our coats after this battle." Yusha decides that it is time to stop playing. He picks a spider that is not injured yet and decides to "illuminate" the cave with it. He snaps his blue, spidery fingers. <MSW> .roll 1d20+7 <+skybot> MSW: 21 (1d20+7=14) <MSW> .roll 3d6+7 <+skybot> MSW: 12 (3d6+7=3, 1, 1) Target is vulnerable (hard save ends, 16+).

Gordon Gordon retaliates immediately with a swift hit to the foul creature's face, and then quaffs a heady amount of ale to burn out the poison from his wound. Refilling from his keg, muses that this has not really been his day for not getting bitten by things. Forgot to post as well. Lot of that going around. My bad, though.

Now I just need something to use these command points on. I'm thinking I need to change my choice of powers at some point. But for now, Winson can use one to roll an immediate save on his turn, if it becomes necessary. pre:HP: 20/45 Recoveries: 7/8 (3d8+2) Init: +2 AC: 16 PD: 17 MD: 15 Command: 7

Gilaemes Ishuar Gilaemes shields his eyes with one hand. "Ugh! Foul things! As if this would slow me down!" The elf leaps between the two spiders, his blade twirling like a live thing in his hands as he lashes out at one to keep it in place, then bringing the blade down with full force on the one he had struck before. Like some dumb web is going to stop me. Move in to attack the one I hit previously. Using Cat Cuts Between Hounds. Attack! [22:55] <+Morphball> Gorbash: 24 = 1d20(20)+4  Eat 40 damage.

Cliff  Hardcastle whiffs (madly), but Gordon has a chance to hit it with a strike that gives everyone a chance for a breath. It lunges back in immediately, tearing into Hardcastle but once more failing to do more than ruin the shine of her armor with more scratches. Init: Hardcastle: 12 Gordon: 10 Cave  While the spider is busy burning from Yusha's magic, Gilaemes rushes in, shouldering it into the wall where it gives what can only be described as a spider-like grunt, and chopping deep into the other one. Its legs wriggle and shudder, but somehow, despite all of the ichor pouring out of its middle-parts, it stays standing. That spider is nearly dead, and Ridley should post!

Cliff  The concussions and axe wounds are finally starting to add up, as you can see bones and tendons that are probably important, or at least were in life, falling off of the ghoul. I guess they don't need them anymore or something, because it is still coming, and look like it has found the weak spots in Hardcastle's shell finally! Gordon hits, Hardcastle is clawed for 20!

Gordon Gordon draws back his meaty fist, still clutching the hefty tankard, and punches it straight through the ghoul's rotten head.

Cliff Even the slightest glance at the corpse of the ghoul reveals that it had some fancy jewelry, perhaps from a former life. Hanging from a cord around its neck are a sliver of blue quartz marked with an odd rune and a ring of twisted silver and gold. You don't see any further ambushes waiting for you further down the steps, so you may continue on, or retreat to the safety of the monastery. +1 Weapon Rune, Ring of Resilience (Recharge 6+, When you use this ring, heal using a recovery. Quirk: Eats an odd vegetarian diet and advocates it loudly.) Feel free to continue on and go rescue the slowpokes in the cave.

Gordon "Fancy rock," Gordon notes, pocketing the rune stone before tapping his keg to refill his tankard. He tanks a long drink, draining it completely, as Hardcastle has her sandwich. "Fancy a drink with that? Got plenty to spare." Joining the short rest, looks like I'm back up to 38 hit points for now. [19:20] <+skybot> FuegoFish: 18 (3d8+2=6, 2, 8)

Cave It takes a minute of dripping and draining ichor, but surprising everyone (except Sinnika, and especially the spider), the spider collapses in a heap. The other one leaps forward, chomping down on Gilaemes with knife-sized fangs and giving him a dose of venom. Gil takes 5, 5 ongoing poison. Yusha (and everyone else) can go. Init: Gilaemes: 18 Spider: 9 Yusha: 6 Cliff, then Forest The trek through the forest is a long one, but Gordon and Hardcastle know the route now, and despite being on guard for more ghoulish ambushes, make it back almost before their lunch is finished. Standing outside the mouth of the cave, still littered with rotting hell dog corpses, one might wonder what fate befell their friends that went inside.

Once she is there, she tracks down her fellows by following tracks, which she is trained to follow in caves.

Cave Gilaemes slashes many a limb from the spider, but it still advances! Grabbing onto Yusha, perhaps in a sense of kinship or just looking for a tasty meal, it paralyzes her with a quick bite and scuttles off into a hole that nobody with half a brain would dare try to stick an arm into, let alone give chase. It is a surprise when Hardcastle and Gordon show up moments later, following the trail, to find 2 of the 3 comrades they left behind, covered in blood, sweat, and spider ichor. MSW dropped out, and the spider was close enough to dead, so this works! Look a map! You are in the lower right assortment of spider caves

The elf pokes one with a boot, then frowns in annoyance at the ichor. He really should have known better. "But your late friend came from in here, and it was no arachnid that slew him.

Backtracking to the cave with the pit, you descend down the steep slope to the passageway obscured from the ledge. The tunnel here is narrow and rough, and your feet crunch on the ground below. At first it was just gravel, but as you go further in you notice more and more bones mixed in, along with the smell of putrefying flesh, getting stronger the deeper you go.
