Another of the creatures runs out of a passage to the left to attack Starker with its claws. Claw to hit = 8 for 6 slashing damage, 16 for 5 slashing damage.
Chadwick squeezes past Hoid and Starker to provide meat shield duty. He heals Starker for 10 with lay on hands. He looks at the size of the rabid overgrown mole, then down at the Cutlass and dagger.
Hoid holds his action, but says, “Everyone back the way we came. Brave, brave Sir Chadwick and I will wait to run away until the rest of you have cleared the way.”
Starker:”Thank you, Friend Chadwick. I feel much better.
”The web should last for an hour, provided I can maintain my focus. Perhaps that will give us time to search the rest of these tunnels. I hope the Lady is not on the other side of the web, though if she is I doubt she is alive sharing tunnels with those fell beasts.
Pray give me a moment and we can be off. “
Puts on gloves, takes other bag of dried mangos, finds two marked 47. Says in a very non-Staker-like voice “Whozza good Quaggoth? Is Quaggoth17 a good Quaggoth? Yes he is. Yes he is! Here’s a treat!!!”
Grabs Cyrus tightly, whispering commandingly ‘do not chase these—these are not for you.”
Throws the marked dried mango slices near but not at the beast who hit Starker so critically. Puts bag away, takes off gloves.
Starker takes position in the order between Kragen and Gneuman.

One slashing claw gets through the Mage Armor for 5 damage. Any reaction from Starker?
Then initiative.
Starker reaction = Cast Shield.
Starker: “Ouch!!! Maybe somebody else should take point. At least one quaggoth is around and it is not in a mood to talk”
Starker casts Shield. One quaggoth attack still hits. Up until his next action.
Kragen to act.
Kragen pulls his Holy Water and sprays it in front of him, mutters a prayer to Tyr.
cast Bless on Starker, Hoid and Chadwick.
Another of the creatures runs out of a passage to the left to attack Starker with its claws. Claw to hit = 8 for 6 slashing damage, 16 for 5 slashing damage.
Starker to act.
Starker's Shield is effective and blocks the attacks. The spell dissipates now that it is Starker's action.
Starker to act.
Move as indicated. (Need to resolve AoO if any.) If not dead or unconscious, Cast Web to gum up the choke point.
“These tunnels may well harbor many more of these fell denizens of the dark. Let’s repair to a location less tactically disadvantageous.!”
Starker retreats drawing a reaction attack from the beast, 25 for 7 slashing damage.
He then casts web, filling the tunnel with sticky strands of webbing.
Gneuman to act.
The beast delivers a critical hit for an additional 3 slashing damage
Gneuman is up
Gneuman holds action.
Let me know when you want to act.
Chadwick to act.
Chadwick squeezes past Hoid and Starker to provide meat shield duty. He heals Starker for 10 with lay on hands. He looks at the size of the rabid overgrown mole, then down at the Cutlass and dagger.
"Im going to need a bigger weapon".
Edit-And casts hunters mark on the closest RoUS.
Hoid to act
Hoid holds his action, but says, “Everyone back the way we came. Brave, brave Sir Chadwick and I will wait to run away until the rest of you have cleared the way.”
For as long as the Web remains the tunnel is blocked. The creatures are not challenging the webs.
You can exit combat and move if you like.
Starker:”Thank you, Friend Chadwick. I feel much better.

Throws the marked dried mango slices near but not at the beast who hit Starker so critically. Puts bag away, takes off gloves.
Now more like himself “I am ready. Lead on.”
Chadwick will take the lead and head back south, then go east at the next branch.
For now he'll keep his concentration on the HM spell in case the ROUS get through the web quicker than expected.
