The Phandalin Chronicles

Krom murmurs an hymn of evocation (Light) while touching Kazri's shield. The dwarf will try to remember if the stench may be related to some type of undead (Religion 23). "Shall we proceed my friends? We have a fortress to reclaim!" says the dwarf to the party members.

The smell of rotting flesh certainly would be this type of stench.

"Ladies first, then?" Rhogar said, looking to and remembering Kazri's protectiveness. "Be exceptionally on your guard. If the next room does not lead to the spider Den, we should expect to run into those ghouls judging by the scent. Spiders are meaning things, but kill far too cleanly to leave behind such a stench." Ghorar flutters back to Rhogar's shoulder, and find her way eventually into his pack to stay safe.

Kazri readies her shield and thanks Krom for the light spell. "Yes, Mr. Nimbatuul, allow me to see if I can sense if undeath is nearby." She stands by the door and uses her Divine Sense in the area ahead.

Chip would summon dancing lights and send them out in front of Kazri to further her line of sight. "I got a bad feeling about this.."

"We will have to fight a lot of undead and other monsters in order to reclaim this fortress, it may be wise to use our powers and skill carefully since I doubt that we will be able to have a confortable rest." Krom walks just right behind Kazri entering a defensive stance.

Rekuberk moves to stand near Kazri, drawing his sword and holding it tightly as he makes a face at the smell. "This is rather unpleasant..."

The door is opened for Kazri who then uses her divine sense but she does not feel the presence of the undead in the next room.  With the aid of Chip's dancing lights she quickly surmises that this is the same room that Ghorar showed them and is filled with spiders.  Movement can be seen in the webs that cover the south half of the room and she realizes there are several giant spiders in the room.

Initiative - Chill 15, Chip 13, Kazri 4, Krom 13, Rekuburk 17, Rhogar 10

Combat Order:

Rekuburk (71/71 +8),  Krom (51/51 +8),  Chill (39/39 +8), Rhogar (41/41+5), Chip (39/39), Kazri (58/58 +8),  Spiders

South of the blue line is all webbing

...web-filled areas are difficult terrain... a creature entering a webbed area for the first time on a turn or starting its turn there must succeed on a DC 12 Dexterity saving throw or become restrained by the webs. A restrained creature can use its action to try and escape, doing so with a successful DC 12 Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check.

Rekuberk will move into the room and get close enough while avoiding the web to throw two javelins at the spider next to the pillar on the left.

Javelin 1: Attack: 27 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll.

Javelin 2: Attack: 28 Damage: 10

Krom, paying attention to not get too near the web, moves into the room. With his back guarded by the rail of the left ramp, the dwarf takes a look at the room filled with webs trying to find a cluster of spiders near a metal object. If he can finds such item Krom will chant an hymn of evocation (Heat metal on it trying to burn down the web and possibly hurt some spiders in the process. If he can not find a suitable place for his spell, the dwarf will throw his hand axe at the spider hit by Rekuberk's javelin.

Heat Metal 8 on an object near a cluster of spiders if possible, if not 

Hand Axe attack (at disadvantage due to the range): Attack: 11 Damage: 11

Chill quietly moves forward and hides around the corner behind the staircase.

Stealth 20

He'll then shoot at the same spider as Rekuburk

Attack: 21 Damage: 14

 Kazri moves to the left (east) of Rekuburk, and throws Firebeard's Fist on the closest spider.

Attack: 10 Damage: 8

Then she brings her shield forward and takes the Dodge action.

Rekuburk steps out and moves forward and hurls a pair of spears at one of the giant spiders.  The first hits but the second flies over its head.  Krom can see some metal cauldrons lined up 3 across on the center of the rpom but no spiders are nearby so he opts to throw an ax instead but it goes wide and misses.  Chill quietly slips around the corner and with a well aimed shot kills the spider Rekuburk hit with a spear. 

Rhogar is up

Rekuburk (71/71 +8),  Krom (51/51 +8),  Chill (39/39 +8), Rhogar (41/41+5), Chip (39/39), Kazri (58/58 +8),  Spiders

Attack: 18 Damage: 7

Then she brings her shield forward and takes the Dodge action.

 I don't see how you can both attack and dodge in the same turn.

Sorry. Got mixed up with the extra attack. Please ignore the dodge action.

(This may be a bad idea, but gonna go for it...)

Once Rhogar stepped outside, and seeing no better time than the present for testing the necklace, he flicks one of the beads near the southern most pillar, unleashing a flash inferno upon the poor spiders within licking reach of the flames.

Movement: To 10ft North of Krom.

Action: Spend a bead to cast Fireball(Dex 15), catching the 6 within 20ft of the southeastern most pillar, and inflicting 30 of Fire Damage. Half as Much on a Success. Webbing also catches on fire.

Dex 14,  5,  15,  17,  22,  4, 

The ball of fire hits the SW corner of the room and the webs start to burn.  3 of the spiders catch fire and and are overcome.  3 others have burns covering their bodies.

Chip is up

Chip would move around the corner and look towards the remaining charred spiders. He would then strum a quick tune on his lute as the few flickering flames near the chard spiders explode into a dazzling rainbow of colors as he casts pyrotechnics

OOC: con 16 or everyone within 10 ft. of the explosion is blinded. I didn't know which spiders were alive and which ones weren't but I woudl try to blind as many living spiders as possible.

 Chip doused the flames on the middle spider in the car corner that is still alive.  Fireworks suddenly explode in the area.

Con saves 4, 10, 14

and all 3 spiders have been blinded!

Kazri then steps up and throws one of her axes at a close spire and strokes it.

The far 3 spiders unable to see you dash west to try and get out of the burning webs.

The 2 closer spiders send webs towards

Rekuburk 18 and Kazri 14

while the web launched towards Kazri falls short, Rekuburk is covered in the sticky webbing and is restrained.

Rekuburk is up
