Rhapsody in Blood

[learjet22]

Good hit Scotty! Scotty plunges his sword into the spider, wounding it, although it doesn't fall over dead like the first one. It yelps, and turns to attack Scotty, the sneaky lad.

A 13! What's your AC again? If that hits, you should save vs. poison.

[Rotten]

Ooc- Scotty's AC is 4. Leather armor, -4 for dex bonus.

Hope it's a miss.

[learjet22]

Alright, I'm pretty sure that's a miss. I believe we have others in this round yet to act, so I'll wait for them as you won initiative.

[tkrexx]

and will be at a -2 To Hit on the next round.

Not this round, right?

[learjet22]

No, I believe that would be this round. Hmm... the preparing yourself to fight was a bit of an oddball, so I'll just call it where you're still adjusting to the new position. Therefore it applies this round. After all, it doesn't make sense to start on balance, then lose balance.

[tkrexx]

Fair enough, just checking.

[learjet22]

You could also cast a spell. By the way, what do you even have memorized?

[tkrexx]

Ah! I thought you meant I couldn't get my action off till next round at -2. Shield is the spell. Since I already stated D'arqo had his blade out, he'll go ahead and attempt a hack.

[1d20] = 8 -2=dismal.

D'arqo makes a spectacle of himself, nearly dismounting head first, waving his sword in the air as if signalling far-off companions.

[learjet22]

Since Modric is missing apparently, I'll roll for him. I'll say Reilik probably swings with his mace.

http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3999005/

Nope. The cleric swings and misses. One spider has yet to go. It will attack D'arqo on a 1-3 or Reilik on a 4-6

http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3999007/

It goes for D'arqo, and I believe it hits with a 15. D'arqo, take one point of damage and save vs. poison. After that, someone roll for initiative.

[NJWilliam]

Ruarc - Initiative: [1d6] = 1

Ruarc draws his bastard sword and attacks the nearest living spider. If he needs to charge to reach the spider this round, he will. (OOC his movement rate is 15")

Ruarc - bastard sword (THAC0 20): to hit [1d20+1] = 17+1 = 18, damage [2d4+3] = 5+3 = 8, ([2d8+3] = 9+3 = 12 vs. Large)

[learjet22]

Looks like the spiders are going first this round.

http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3999457/

Still, everyone should announce their actions.

[Rotten]

Scotty will continue his assault on the wounded spider with his short sword.

Ooc- should I roll or wait?

[learjet22]

Go ahead and wait. I suppose I should roll for the spider you're quarreling with, as it isn't going to attack anyone else.

http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4000048/

I think this one will probably hit. Deduct one point and save versus poison. I'll check the tables in the DMG to make sure on this one though, but I believe it will hit.

[Rotten]

Save vs. Poison [1d20] = 15

ooc- I believe that is a save vs. poison. I don't know which chart to use, 1e or 2e or even if there is a difference? Which shall I use? I'd need a 13 in 2nd edition.

Scotty, spins away from the spider's bite. "That stings!"

He thrusts his short sword at the spider's face.

Attack [1d20] = 4, damage [1d6+1] = 3+1 = 4 +1 for strength

And a miss...

[Rotten]

ooc- can we add 1 more hp of damage to the spider from my original hit? I forgot to add 1 point of damage due to my strength bonus. A total of 3 points should have been delivered.

[learjet22]

Okay, you made the save. How many HP do you have anyways? I want to say 4, but I can't recall. And actually, the spider got the exact number it needed to hit. Woot! And yeah, sure we can count the extra point. It isn't dead yet though. XD

Ruarc, I just realized I've misled you. They're more medium sized. If they were large sized, their bites would sure do more than one point apiece.

[Rotten]

Ooc- I had 4 hps, have 3 now.

[NJWilliam]

Ruarc, I just realized I've misled you. They're more medium sized. If they were large sized, their bites would sure do more than one point apiece.

OOC - Not misled, I knew they were large for spiders which medium size sure is. I put the damage vs. L just in case they were large size large spiders, which would be pretty giant for a spider.

[learjet22]

Okay, well the spider, at its initiative, has two options on who to bite, which are Reilik and D'arqo. 1-3 Reilik, 4-6 D'arqo.

http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4002212/

It goes after D'arqo and it hits! (jeez) Subtract one more hit point and make a save vs. poison.

I'm going to roll for Reilik:

http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4002194/

The cleric delivers a solid blow into the spider, squashing it with his mace, therein causing more shrieks and squeals. It pitifully wobbles from the intense blow and falls over, dead. Ruarc, I believe You were aiming for the very same spider, and your attacks are going to hit at roughly the same time. (Your Dex is higher, so it may connect first) I suppose with the combined attacks, the spider isn't unconscious, it's dead. D'arqo should still go, then the next round will begin.

[tkrexx]

Ack! The Elf yelps at the painful sting from the nasty spider and...

[1d20] = 5

...Completely slaughters an attempt at a save!

If he's able to attack this round...

[1d20] = 19 -2 for uncool position, +1 for being an Elf = 18

[1d6] = 3
