Chapter 03: Minn's Mound

[GreyWolfVT]

Korin works at freeing Norbold from the webbing and hands his torch to Thorelf "Burn their webs." the dwarf says in a low almost growling tone to Thorelf.

[Dram]

OX pulls his bow and fires at the nearest spider to Norbold.

L. Bow atk#1
L Bow to hit [1d20+2] = 8+2 = 10, to Dam[1d6+1] = 3+1 = 4
L.Bow Atk#2
L Bow to hit [1d20+2] = 9+2 = 11, to Dam[1d6+1] = 2+1 = 3

[Storm11]

Phoenix will fire his two daggers at one scuttling up the walls that was blinded by the colour spray.

”Don’t waste the spell. It could wear off at any time. Attack them whilst we have we advantage, they are blinded currently!”

i think you get two shots with a bow Dram per round

[sastaz]

Thorelf drops his dagger and grabs the second torch offered by Korin. With one of the torches he tries to set fire to a cluster of web that he thinks might connect to the place where the spiders are currently residing.

[Nordbo]

Korin gets busy with freeing Norbold from the spider webs he's enmeshed in. But it's sinewy stuff, and takes some time to untangle...

OX pulls his bow and fires twice at the nearest spider to Norbold, which isn't any one of them really, as all of them had already scuttled up the wall. This makes them more difficult to hit, so his arrows just get stuck in the grotesquely thick web covering the south wall.

Phoenix follows suit and hurls his two daggers at the same critter: [1d20-2] = 5-2 = 3 : [1d4] = 2 : [1d20-2] = 2-2 = 0 : [1d4] = 1 but also misses; his daggers just bounce off and fall down, one of them hitting Thorelf on the head. Ouch!

This doesn't stop Thorelf from torching the web on the south wall, however. He does so, and the whole wall is instantly set ablaze. The room is quickly filled with yellow-grey creamy smoke, causing everyone present to start coughing and spluttering: all roll a saving throw, please!

[GreyWolfVT]

guess it doesn't matter which save this it's a fail at any rate.
Requested Roll [1d20] = 8
Korin coughs and sputters from the nasty smoke and tries to guide Norbold out of the passage and back outside away from the smoke and fire so he can finish freeing the elf from the webbing.

[PyroArrow]

Norbold Ernessaeia (Sylvanian Elf Cleric): Scale Mail AC 6 : Hit Points 2 / 6:

Smoke Saving Throw: [1d20] = 18

[Storm11]

[1d20] = 10

Phoenix backs away from the smoke filling chamber, his long sleeve over his mouth.

[sastaz]

Saving throw [1d20] = 2

*cough* *COUGH*

Thorelf falls down to his knees and tries to crawl back into the tunnel where he came from.

[Dram]

Ox grabs Korin and Pheonix by their arms and pulls them out of the smoke towards the entrance. He says to Norbold. Grab Thorelf get him out here . Be ready the spiders may be right behind us.

[PyroArrow]

Norbold Ernessaeia (Sylvanian Elf Cleric): Scale Mail AC 6 : Hit Points 2 / 6:

If indeed Norbold has been pulled out of the smoke by Korin, he will indeed go grab Thorelf and pull him out of the smoking spider hang-out.

[Nordbo]

OK thanks all - now all that remains is Dram's/Ox' saving roll.

In the meantime fyi: Norbold was not yet 100% freed from the webs when the above happened.

[Dram]

OCC- Sorry I was happy that I made the savings roll, I forgot to post it.

20 roll[1d20] = 18

[Nordbo]

The sickly smoke filled the room faster than anyone had expected, and took all by surprise. Korin had to stop cutting Norbold loose and quickly settle for dragging the semi-unwrapped bundle out of the room instead. Thorelf, well trained in evacuation drills, ducked down and snuck out too.
However, the web burned fairly quickly and the smoke soon thins out, leaving everyone with no worse effects than stinging eyes and sore throats.
The south wall, and the door in it, are now cleared free of webs.
If Norbold wants to do anything, Korin has to finish cutting him loose, which will take another round.

[GreyWolfVT]

Korin grumbling and coughing gets back to work cutting Norbold loose "Durned elf, why didna ya come out with us yah durned fool."

[PyroArrow]

Norbold Ernessaeia (Sylvanian Elf Cleric): Scale Mail AC 6 : Hit Points 2 / 6:


Helping Korin pull off more of the webbing after his arms are free says,

"Told you that scroll was cursed. Apparently I came to act as a morsel for hungry beasts."

[Storm11]

Phoenix stumbles from the tunnel coughing. Once he has his breath back he plops himself down upon the floor with a sigh, in amongst his multi-coloured robes.

Well we are making a right pigs ear of this, and our resources and strength is being whittled down without any progress forward at all. What now?

[GreyWolfVT]

Korin after finishing freeing Norbold will respond to Phoenix "Well them spiders clearly dun like fire an we cleared tha door of their webbing we could go try tha door an keep plenty of lit torches with us. Er we can go back ta the last entry an see what lies within there."

[sastaz]

Thorelf tries to stay silent and peeks into the tunnel, torch in front of him to light up the tunnel, the other free (his dagger somewhere on the floor in the intersection of the corridor and the spider room).

I assume Thorelf is right outside the entrance to the mound right now. Let me know if the situation is otherwise.

[Nordbo]

Thorelf's last stated action was:

Thorelf falls down to his knees and tries to crawl back into the tunnel where he came from.

which I assume means he's 'in the tunnel' and not outside the Mound. If Thorelf did indeed exit outside, then that's fine, just please confirm it.
