The sharp blade cuts, but then gleans off the tough hide of the spider (spider 2). Lillit sees a tiny spot of blood ooze up.
OOC:
Ivar's turn.
Aug 23, 2025 8:33 pm
Ivar will again nock, draw, inhale, aim, exhale, release.
OOC:
Damn 12s

OOC:
I will give it to you Ivar, close enough, this spider needs to die.
Ivar's arrow buries itself into the skull of the arachnid.

And with an ear-numbing screech, the spider topples. Hobb jumps out of the way as the beast collapses in a jumble of legs, black ooze, and blood.

The Wayfinder's catch their breath as their first battle as a group comes to a close.

"Nice finish lad!" Orm exclaims to Ivar as the spider falls. Taking out his dagger, the dwarf heads over to the corpse and with practiced ease quickly starts dissecting it for parts, taking some of the silk webbing, venom, and internal organs.

"Waste not, want not." he tells the group with a smile (while trying to hold his bile back). Pointing the dagger at the paralyzed members, "Someone should make sure they're still alive.", then continues sawing away.

"Thanks Orm, we survived our first test." Ivar will move to those who were bit and see what he can do for them."Anyone no anything about poison?"

Lillit sighs in frustration and fatigue. She cleans and sheathes her dagger and looks over the awful spider beast.

Without much fanfare, Hobb manages to throw himself out of the way, and then everything goes black for the pudgy Halfling.
OOC:
0hp…

Lillt looks over to see Hobb fall. She frowns and says, "We seem to be down one halfling. Here, someone help me with him..."

She bends down to move him into a more comfortable position and sees if there is anything she can do to revive him.
OOC:
Is Hobb unconscious, or dying? I'll make a Stabilize roll just in case...

Ivar will move to help with Hobb."Orm, Llewellyn can you check on Nikkghak ?"
Aug 24, 2025 11:13 pm
OOC:
I didn't know that Hobb was that low on HP. Thanks for roleplaying that Hobb. He is stabilized now from Lillit's roll.

Yes, someone should check on Nikkghak.

I assume that we will roleplay some cleanup and then probably spend the night to recharge. Unless you want to press on to the cave.

"We should probably take our injured and move away from here and set up camp to recover some."
Aug 25, 2025 1:09 am
"Agreed," says Lillit.

Finished with the spiders, Orm cleans up and walks over to Nikkghak, mixing a viscous, green liquid in a small vial along the way. He kneels and pours the contents slowly down the goblin's throat, hoping the anti-venom he just created from the arachnid's parts will help.

Nikkghak's body slowly relaxes, and Orm watches as his eyes begin moving again.

Hobb gasps as he regains consciousness.

The group collectively cut down the cocooned bodies and search through the remains of their packs and clothes. In the remnants of the spider's meals, they find:
--a bag of smooth pebbles (worth 2cp)
--dusty, leather armor dyed black (worth 10 gp)
--two lustrous pearls (worth 40 gp each)

The Wayfinders move away from the webs and spider carcasses to find a clearing in the dense pine forest. They start a fire and eat some rations.
OOC:
I need the party to give up three torches to build the fire, and each hero needs to eat a ration. I assume that y'all will set up watches.
The party sleeps and rests through an uneventful night. They regain their strength and their nerves after the difficult battle with the spiders.
OOC:
I will let y'all post who is going to give up torches. You could roleplay what you're eating and divide up the loot, then I will post the next bit tomorrow. We will start with full health points and full spell arsenals.

The young priest gets to his feet unsteadily, his muscles still not fully responsive. "Thank you, Master Dwarf", he croaks out, then clears his throat. That elixir burned going down. "Not a very auspicious start to my first journey away from the chapel, I fear. I suspect I might be out of my depth here."

Nonetheless, he tries to get as much of a rest as possible, and rises early in the morn, eager to get going again. Every hour wasted was a danger for his kinsmen in the cult's clutches.
OOC:
Nikkghak can provide one torch to the fire. If it matters, he can take a watch during the night, since he didn't exactly over-exert himself in the previous encounter

"At least now we know who the tastiest of us are!" Hobb says, as he coughs back to life.

"Cripes but they have big fangs!" he complains, as he is pulled back to his unsteady feet.
"Do you want a Halfling who’s teetering on the edge of death’s door watching over you while you sleep? I didn’t think so!" he says, as he tucks himself away for the night.
Aug 25, 2025 9:13 pm
"In the Shadowdark we are all out of our depth, young goblin."
OOC:
Later that night
"I have no torches to spare, just my lantern if you need it."

Not having lost his spells, Orm keeps watch during the night, keen eyes alert for any sign of trouble, spiders or otherwise.
Aug 25, 2025 10:46 pm
OOC:
Nikkghak is donating one torch. If y'all want a full rest to regain hit points and spells, then we need two more to create the campfire, and everyone needs to eat a ration. And a good idea to have Nikkghak take the full watch over night.

Or, I am totally okay not doing a full rest and just pressing ahead to the cave.
Aug 25, 2025 11:44 pm
"I will take a watch. I am still hale after that fight, others should rest up while they can; especially you two, Nikkghak, and Hobb." I mention as I sit down next to where we settle for a campsite.

I begin to pick away at a ration, nothing exciting, but dried and salted meat, nuts, cheese, berries and some idle forage from along the way. It did the job of filling a stomach and keeping me fuelled, which was all that mattered.
OOC:
I can donate a torch to the fire.
Aug 26, 2025 12:05 am
Ivar will eat his ration thinking of the fight they with the spiders."I will take a middle watch. I can only sleep a few hours at a time."
OOC:
I will also donate my torch.
