Esa is happy to let the others take the lead. She waits further back, preparing to cast Magic Missile at whatever spiders make it through the initial onslaught. 252
Esa's magic missile finishes off the spider stuck in the spike growth. There are no spiders visible at the moment.
Rustling Leaves shifts into starry archer form, another murmur of interest from the spectators. He holds his thorn whip for when another spider becomes visible.
The spider doesn't make it through the deadly thorns and curls up and dies.
RL turns to look at the large shape he saw in the southwestern tree, but it is gone.
There is a cry of horror from the spectators as right behind RL a spider appears, a spider twice as big as he is, coloured blue and white. When it appeared it was like it was pushing through the fabric of reality, with space distorting around it and wisps of gas escaping from wherever it had come from. Then reality snaps back into the place and the horror is there attacking RL. All this happens in a second.
Augustin readies his sword, but did not have the attack action ready this round (because he was dodging) so he cannot act until on the spider's turn.
Everyone else had actions readied.
You hear the elven spectators grabbing weapons, but then Eriyel's voice commands them to stop and watch.
Grimbald shifts hunter's mark to the new threat, and shoots but with disadvantage for being so close. (DM will roll the second roll for disadvantage): 10.
Esa attacks the strange spider with her chromatic orb and does 8 damage to it.
Vakiel hurls his last javelin at the giant spider - Attack: 18 Damage: 7.
RL spins and uses thorn whipbecause that's what he had ready. It's a melee spell attack so no disadvantage. Attack: 19 Damage: 2.
The spider leaps at RL and tries to sink its fangs into him.
DM: Oops, that second attack I attributed to Augustin should be from Vakiel. Put it in the wrong place.
Those two blows were enough to kill the creature. It staggers sideways, spurting black and green blood from deep wounds and then dies, curling its legs up in the way of all spiders.
Eriyel and the elves come meet with the party and inspect the corpses.
"You have proven yourselves. We did not expect this creature," she looks at the blue and white giant spider, "I know of them, they are known by your people asaphase spideras they can phase in and out of the ethereal plane at will. It must have been drawn here by the power of the standing stones. We elves" she looks around at her tribe, "will see this a favourable sign."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Esa will cast Tasha's Mind Whip on big weird spider. it needs to make a DC 13 INT saving throw. If it fails, 10 psychic damage and it can’t take a reaction until the end of its next turn. Moreover, on its next turn, it must choose whether it gets a move, an action, or a bonus action; it gets only one of the three. On a successful save, the target takes half as much damage and suffers none of the spell’s other effects.
Grimbald can retrieve the two crossbow bolts from the spiders' bodies, but the one that he shot at the large spider that missed is gone, broken on a rock.
Vakiel retrieves and inspects his javelin. It is still battleworthy.
The elves and party gather to the ancient stones, covered in runes and pictures. Now you know what you are looking for, you can see images of acorns, trees, a winged man carrying a greatsword, eagle, owl, bear, and other animals, the star lion, a tattooed woman with a scroll.
In the centre of the stones is some kind of altar with similar runes and images.
