Kroshav will pull free a torch and get it lit, before lighting another and passing it to Clad. He sets the torch on the ground and draws Sword before nudging the torch forward into the webbing at the base of the door.

The webbing quickly burns up despite still being shiny and kind of wet looking. Sword informs Kroshav that the spider as moved back slightly and is currently standing unmoving against the well. The door should just swing open.

((Back on initiative!))

Initiative

Kroshav (Prot. poison) <---
Lurn/Mikram (Blessed) <---
Joe (Blessed) <---
Cladmir <---
Jaq (Blessed, Prot. poison)<---
Drow

((As in moved farther than striking distance from the door, or lurking above the door waiting to pounce whoever steps through?))

If the latter, Kroshav will hold his shield up in that direction and step through warily, looking to give Clad an opening to strike.

((Move and Dodge. If Sword says its farther back, he'll move out and attack.))

((Lurking just outside the range of the fire on the wall.))

((In that case...))

As the fire starts to lessen, Kroshav will shoulder the door open, charging through the remaining bits of burning web, and slash at the spider with Sword.

Sword Attack: 10 Damage: 9

Jaq will shove at the western door, to see if he can get it open, and if it gets far enough open for Joe to cast his fire, he will let her know to cast it.

(Agreed on the western door.)

Kroshav surges out of the room to hack at a giant spider sitting motionless on the wall. As he closes the spider moves to strike under the dragonborn's raised arm.

 Attack: 19 Damage: 10

Poison on hit: 11

As the sounds of things kicking off reaches Lurn and Jaq the latter pushes open the door to allow Joe to burn away the webbing with a firebolt. The door swings open to reveal a largish spider standing just outside.

Initiative:

Kroshav (Prot. poison) (some movement left)
Lurn/Mikram (Blessed?) <---
Joe (Blessed?) (Movement)
Cladmir <---
Jaq (Blessed?, Prot. poison)<---
Drow

((Is Lurn cast Bless of the mark here?

I'll get a map up tomorrow. ))

The spider can't get through Kroshav's armor but the dragonborn easily cleaves into spider chitin.

Sword laughs a laugh Kroshav would expect from a young girl playing a game with friends.

Yeah, I'm upping the Bless.  If that takes Lurn's action, so be it.  If it doesn't it's just going to be a Toll The Dead, preferably after Jaq gets a chance to hit the spider.

Undamaged: 7
Damaged: 16

Spider con save: 9

----

((Map

 ))

Cladmir moves out next to Kroshav and launch an attack on the spider with his rapier.

Attack: 27 Damage: 18

Jaq will move so he has a shot at the spider, but keeping his distance from it. 

Longbow:  25

Damage:  9

He will then move to the NE corner and stealth in the shadows: 28

(If that con save was for the Toll, it's meant to be a Wisdom save)

((It was, not sure why I went with con. Either way, hard fail.))

In the corner room Jaq warms the smaller, but still big, spider up with an arrow to the abdomen and Lurn finishes it as its tiny brain pops after a distant, low ring echos through it.

In the room to the south, Cladmir leaps out to assist Kroshav, piercing the spider with his rapier.

From the south a shout of surprise rings out and then becomes slightly louder. A responding shout answers from the north, echoing around the corner.

Three arrows fly in from the south, one at Cladmir and two at Kroshav.

Cladmir Attack: 8 Damage: 5

Kroshav Attack: 5 Damage: 4

Kroshav Attack: 16 Damage: 8

((If any of those hit give me a con save please. Kroshav with advantage.))

Lurn sees a spider, this time a truly giant spider, come just into view from the north. Kroshav and Cladmir can easily the big spider stop and hunker down like it is waiting for something.

Initiative:

Kroshav (Prot. poison) <---
Lurn/Mikram (Blessed) <---
Joe (Blessed) <---
Cladmir <---
Jaq (Blessed, Prot. poison) <---
Drow

((To be clear, no drow are in sight but there are clearly some to the south and some to the north somewhere around the corner. There are two giant spiders in view currently.))

I hate drow and their poisons.

::Thump::

((Even with protection from poison?  Damn.  Also, just how giant is this giant spider?  Mold Earth can turn stoney ground into difficult terrain (I don't see why it specifies the ground, I should be able to make walls and ceilings just as troublesome), so if I do so by raising obstructing spikes would it get enough height to block the spider's passage, or could it still get over?  Width is another matter, obviously, but height's the first concern.))
