Grimnir attempts to swing at it again, but the spider has moved beyond his reach, continuing its focused line to Valrish.
Just before the spider lands next to Valrish, Oorr let's loose a crossbow bolt. The bolt sticks solidly into the abdomen of the spider, inflicting a deep wound. Black ichor pours forth from the gash in its side. (OOC Spider takes 7 damage: 16/26)
(OOC Describing the action is half the fun. Is it because it's about spiders, or just in general? I guess I can tone it down, but... I'm not actually sure if you're serious.)

Valrish swings his shortsword at the giant spider.
Hit: 16. Damage: 7
Grimnir's warning gives Valrish just enough time to bring up his shortsword as the spider leaps at the barbarian. The spider lands on the sword, but still pushes through the injury to strike at Valrish. (OOC Spider takes 7 damage: 9/26)
The giant spider bites at Valrish: Attack: 7 Damage: 5
Thankfully, the chain shirt that Valrish was able to grab protects him from the spider bite.
A sheen of frost covers the spider's carapace as it is recovering from its failed attempt to bite through Valrish's armor. It tries to shake off the cold.
Consitution Saving Throw: 3 Damage: 3
Try as it might, the spider cannot resist the creeping cold, and the frost covers its body.
Grimnir, seizing this opportunity, rushes at the spider, and with a mighty swing of his shortsword, finishes off the creature, dropping it dead at the feet of Valrish.
Oorr takes one more bolt and fires! : to hit 21, piercing damage 7
You fire a bolt solidly into the dead body of a giant spider.
With the spider dead, there appears to be no more immediate threats. The exits are the door you came in that leads to the chaos outside, and the rope ladder leading down into what looks like a finely furnished bedroom.
(OOC Not sure I mentioned this before, but I'll give out experience at set points, usually after completing a specific adventure/quest/chapter etc. rather than after each individual encounter.)

OOG LOL didn't realise it was dead...
Oorr " Well, better be sure it was dead. Onward. " Oorr inspects the bedroom (Perception 12)
"Would you like to recover your ammunition before I burn this place to the ground?"
I keep looking for my spellbook. Investigation: 18
Once I recover it, I cast create bonfire on whatever furnishings look most flammable.

Valrish goes to the statue again and picks the remaining eyes. "I don't think there'll be any more traps."

Valrish looks at Belwar and then at the gems. "Well, can't you do some of your tricks and see if they do?" He says.
