Hobb, like many halflings, was more accustomed to muttering a prayer to Gede. Still, the church here had its own faith, and Hobb wasn’t one to turn his nose up at whatever help was offered.

"Aye! Eyes and ears peeled for an ambush. Many have tried, mind you, but there ain’t one that’s gotten the drop on old Hobb yet!" he says, slinging up his weapons and getting ready to depart.

Leading the volunteer column, Hobb shouts an urgent whisper back to the others when he starts to see webbing.

"Eyes sharp! Some of these things are big enough to try for Halfling!"

He’s too busy calling back his warning to see that the danger is already hanging overhead!

Seeing the webbing, Orm shudders. Filthy things, spiders. He's dabbled in various parts of theirs for his reagents and spells and has yet to get used to the many-eyed, squishy buggers.

Unaccustomed to travelling far beyond the borders of the village, Nikkghak keeps his trusty spear clutched tightly in his hand.

I hustle alongside my Wayfarer peers, the majority having spoken, until we come across the webby territory, where my cautious feelings get the better of me. I draw my sword and shield, and shake my head, feeling that the better situation was to take the situation slower than rush into a spider's web, as we've nearly done. Upon seeing the spiders, I ready myself for the coming attack, and hope it isn't too devastating of an attack.

OOC:
Initiative Order
1. Spiders
2. Llewellyn
3. Lillit
4. Ivar
5. Orm
6. Nikkghak
7. Hobb

When it is your turn, assume that you are in near distance and can thus move freely. Then each take one action.

We will call the spider that is already descending Spider 1, and the spider hanging on the branch Spider 2.
The Hillshire Wayfinders notice the spiders overhead at the same moment the spiders decide to descend upon them. The spider already webbing its way down (Spider 1), pinches its web off five feet from the ground and lands before Nikkghak. It lunges to bite and pierces one of Nikkghak's arms. The young goblin can feel fluid pumping into his body.
OOC:
Nikkghak takes 2 damage and needs to make a CON save
The other spider (Spider 2) jumps from its branch and lands in front of Lillit. It sweeps its front legs at Lillit, attempting to trip the witch.
OOC:
Lillit needs to make a DEX check
OOC:

Lillit startles, backstepping and trying to avoid the spider's hairy legs!

OOC:
Oops, sorry Drgwen, I forgot to post the DC. I'm still new to this DMing on Gamers Plane. The DC was 10, so you are not prone. Synaptic, your CON save DC is 12.

Nikkghak stumbles backwards, his arm burning with pain.

Rolls

Con Save, DC 12 - (1d20+2)

(8) + 2 = 10

The burning in Nikkghak's arm intensifies, and he feels that appendage going numb. The numbness creeps along his body.
OOC:
I will let you act in this first round of combat as the paralysis is taking hold, and then you will fall over and be paralyzed.

Next up is Llewellyn

I hoist my bastard sword in my hand and seeing Nikkghak in trouble, I rush to his side, and strike forth fury at the spider attacking him, hoping to fend it off of him, and buy some time for him to recover.

Rolls

Attack - (1d20+4)

Damage - (1d10+3)

The bastard sword slices through two of the spider's legs (spider 1) on its right side. It hisses and recoils, black ichor oozes from the wounds, and steams as it hits the ground. It hobbles to reposition itself, looming over Nikkghak. It will not give up on its prey easily.
OOC:
Next up is Lillit.
Aug 18, 2025 1:33 am
Lillit weaves her hands in the air while she sings a tune just below hearing as she attempts to cast Eyebite on the injured spider!
OOC:
Gonna use my Luck token. I need Eyebite!
OOC:
EDIYT: Failed, lost my only damaging spell for the day.
The magic fizzles and Lillit curses. End of turn.

Ivar's arrow whistles as it flies through the air, striking true right in the gaping maw of the giant arachnid (spider 1). The beast rears, shudders, and collapses to the ground dead.
OOC:
Next up, Orm
Aug 18, 2025 9:11 pm
Uttering an archaic language, and with a flick of his wrist, Orm envelops himself in a protective field.
OOC:
(hopefully) casting mage armor, DC 11

AC is now 14, round 1/10

Alright, Nikkghak's turn before he is paralyzed. If you are going to attack, roll at disadvantage.
Aug 19, 2025 4:28 pm
Nikkghak scrambles backwards, toxins burning its way up his arm. He tries to put distance between himself and the remaining spider, then grabs his spear and hurls it at the creature.
OOC:
Oof, went about as well as expected!

Spear throw - (2d20l1+1)

Nikkghak stumbles after his throw and falls to the ground; he spasms, and a white froth issues from his mouth.
OOC:
Nikkghak will be paralyzed for the next 3 rounds.

And finally, our halfling, Hobb!
