Lost Mines, Lost Labs, and Lost Hope (RobJFalcon's Campaign)

19

Dustfinger hears commotion outside, and whispers to the dwarf. "Gundren sent us to help. You're untied now, so wait or run, but my sword is needed in the hall." 

(Dust will move into the hall next to Hymir on his initiative tick, and take the rest of his action at that point.)

You kind of remind me of this fellow, Hammun Kost?  I know we are getting off.... eh.... ******* webs... on the wrong foot, but we could get this interrogation over with now.  Instead of  waiting until after we lay waste to your manchild pets and handi-capable, charity hire guards. Struggling in the webs, not free... but free enough to cast Blue Faerie fire in the perfect NE corner 20ft square and then Dirk said.... Let there be light. Bardic Inspiration on Absinthe In a bit of a bind bud, don't let our sticky situation get you down! (L1 spell slot and bardic inspiration marked)  Don't worry about me guys, thin the herd.

Blue light envelopes the NE corner of the room. (DEX Saves: 5 / 14 / 19) One spider and the Bugbear now glow blue and give off dim light.

Spider web recharge: 11 #2 webs recharged.
Spider 2 stays on the ceiling and moves to the center of the room, firing a web at Az Emberi 23 The web lands uselessly on the floor.
Spider 1 and 3 move down the wall and into the fray. 1 and 4 are the only ones that can attack, and they both attack Absinthe.
Attack: 19 Damage: 7 Spider 1 is unable to bite Absinthe even though he's restrained.
Attack: 15 Damage: 5 Spider 4 sinks its teeth in though, you must now make 2 separate DC 11 CON Saves, this one for 16 or half on save. I have applied the bite damage, but not the poison yet.

The star is the statue.
Spiders that appear up-side down are on the ceiling, which is 20' high.
Lighting: Absinthe's Lightbringer, The blue outlined enemies, Hymir's light spell?

Fjolnir and Absinthe are up.

"Your sticky butt rope is no match for me you eight legged freak! I've smashed larger skulls in my sleep! I wonder if I can turn yours into a party bowl, one straw for each eye, Or something like that!

Strength check: 22

I will use a Ki point to disengage and jump south out of melee reach of the spiders. 

Fjolnir steps forward about 5 feet and whispers a Hail of Thorns conjuration on the arrow before he flies it at the third spider, and immediately sails a second arrow at the first Spider.

Longbow+1 21 7 Hail of Thorns
Hordebreaker 12 11

Absinthe takes 6 total poison damage, 4 from the first bite and 2 from the second. You're down to 8 HP.

Fjolnir does his arrow thing. The first arrow sticks deep into the side of spider 3, then bursts, showering both spiders 1 and 3 for 7 piercing damage. DEX Saves: 18 / 4 #1 takes 7 damage, #3 takes 3.
The second arrow bounces off spider one's exoskeleton.

Absinthe bursts out of the sticky butt-rope and uses his inner ki to leap to a better vantage point that isn't currently surrounded by spiders.

From the ceiling just in front of the statue comes the voice that had been speaking. In a tone of vanity that might rival Dirk himself, he says, "Behold! I, Nezznar, the Black Spider, doom you all to die in this mine. Your story ends here, in an anti-climatic slaughter." Dropping his invisibility, you see a dark elf dressed in black leather armor and robes, with his feet planted on the ceiling. He clutches a black staff with a carved spider at the top.

"You! Lute player! Your friends are going to kill you... perhaps you should kill them first?" The words resonate with Dirk and mingle with your own thoughts. Dirk must make a DC 13 WIS Save or be influenced by the Suggestion spell to carry out the order to the best of your ability. You have advantage on the roll due to your innate magic resistance. The Black Spider then moves to the NW corner of the ceiling, near the column.

Hymir, Az Emberi, and Dustfinger are up.

20 wisdom    AH!  Ahahaha..haha...ha... Are you serious?  I didn't even try to resist that.  Nezznar... let me try again.  14  God I'm terrible at mind stuff but you have got to be the worst, ever!  Who named you?  There is so much to unpack here, I don't even (Giggle) know where to begin!

Az Emberi steps out of the hall into the room. Snarls and throws a pearl from his necklace at the statue. 

Every enemy including ceiling guy except spider 2 neds to beat a dex of 15 or take.     31      Fire dmg half on success.

Ba shillelagh

Dustfinger exits the room and moves between Hymir and Fjolnir. The glowing spider on the ceiling catches his eye, and he casts his Hex over it before following up with a blast of eldritch energy.

(Bonus action Hex spell cursing Dexterity, then Eldritch Blast; faerie fire is creating situation for my elven accuracy to be relevant)

Eldritch Blast 25 EA 23 , Damage 1 + 6 for Hex

a white gloss fades from Hymir's Eyes as he yells And another thing you necrotic **** why the hell do you dress your zombies up even for a wizard that's weird.... where the **** are we information surges into Hymir's head from months of letting other Hymir "take the wheel" okay ... uh huh... Dirk did what.... can skulls give consent? whatever alright gents looks like we got our work cut out for us

shatter on Spiders 1,3,4 con save dmg 12 

(This happens before shatter) Hymir looks at the non mechanical spider painted mechanical and nods the spider scurries over to he main cluster of webs and uses Web Sense to know about every creature touching the webs Hymir receives this into telepathically and relays in to the group. if there is any more movement the spider goes to safety if not this spider does not fear death....

Hymir's tiny spider scurries across the floor to the webs to sense what creatures are in it... Dirk. Only Dirk is encased in the webbing. (There are no other webs in here besides the one that missed Az Emberi, lol) It doesn't have any more movement so it stays adjacent to Dirk.

Hymir centers his thunderous shatter spell to include a few spiders in its area. CON Saves: 18 / 16 / 17 #1 takes the full of it, #3 and 4 take 8 thunder damage.

Then Az Emberi... oh, Az Emberi. He casually strides forward while plucking a bead off the Necklace of Fireballs. He chucks it to the right of the statue and an explosion of fire erupts outward, encasing 3 spiders and a bugbear, who all attempt to shield themselves from the flames. DEX Saves: 23 / 12 / 15 / 8. None of the spiders saw it coming. Spiders 1, 3 and 4 and burned to a crisp and shrivel up on the spot. The bugbear ducks behind the pillar, escaping the bulk of the damage, but still screams in pain and many patches of hair are singed all over his body.
Dirk and Absinthe are close enough to feel the intense heat, although they take no damage, they understand the pain of the creatures within.

The dwarf nods in understanding at Dustfinger without opening his eyes. Dustfinger moves into the hallway just in time to catch the tail end of a fireball shriveling up the majority of enemies, and takes a shot at the ceiling spider. He connects right in his face with a blast of force energy after cursing its ability to move quickly.

The bugbears rush from their corners on the assault. Bugbear 1 just makes it to Absinthe and swings his morningstar, #2 swings at the restrained Dirk.
Attack: 16 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll. Critical hit! Absinthe goes down unless he rolls high enough on his Stone's endurance.
Attack: 24 Damage: 14 Hit. Dirk gets smacked a bit. (applied damage)

Absinthe will want to roll for damage reduction I imagine, and Dirk is up.

After the spell kills the spiders. Az Emberi yells. "Any other pets to sacrifice to the flames of our wrath or are you going to stand the **** down." Intemidation 15

Boop!  I manage to touch absinthe from my web with L1 cure wounds 7 I know I should get out of this, but it's actually quite comfortable.  Guys guys, come on in the room, don't be rude now.  Mantle of inspiration on Absinthe, Az, Fjolnir and dust.  Soak up that +5 hp yall. (marked my uses)

Dust is inspired and moves to be next to his inspiring friend, Dirk. He spies Nezznar and starts laughing. 

"That's the guy? That's who all this fuss has been about? Hahaha." He holds his nose. "Gah, phrear meh. I'm Shnozzshnar. I like shpidhers arnd bows irn myr long pretty haier."

Az Emberi moves 30 feet west.

Walking forward about 15 feet, and just un-shielding his eyes from the fireball, Fjolnir hears Az taunt the attacker, and he yells back with one eye still closed, "He's 'The Spider', an 'e sends pets, also spiders, ta fight... is it a little derivative and repetitious?!"  [the battle sounds interrupt him] "Like how do we refer to him, The spider an his spiders? Soun' like a shit group of mummers!"

Absinthe's Stone's Endurance roll: 6 He reduces the damage taken to 3.

Dirk Heals him up to 12 HP total, along with giving him, Az Emberi, Dustfinger and Fjolnir 5 Temp. HP, and a free move. Absinthe can make a free move as well.

Giant Spider web recharge: 6 Yup. It tries to web Az Emberi this time. 14 Az Emberi is covered in sticky white webbing and is restrained. It stays on the ceiling but crawls South.

Fjolnir and Absinthe are up. Absinthe can move before his turn because of Mantle of Inspiration.

"And A few of these!"

"Finish it off like this!

"Or something like that!" 

Fjolnir steps around the pillar just to his south, eyeing spider 2, and sets a hunters mark upon it, draws an arrow, and looses it at the creature.
