He blinks a couple times. "Good gracious, how did I not recognize it before? You're right! I could go get us a whole load of this if you'd like?" 

 "We could - and probably will have to - send in a full operation in to steal as much as we can. Its not so much that we need it, but that it scares me if they have it." He pauses for a moment, deep in thought. You can see the exhaustion, and even the fear in his eyes. "Mr Yondor, I am going to ask you to do something that is beyond what I should ask of anyone." 

*Just as a side note, this is happening a few days before what is happening with Yvonne and the other roleplay, as not to confuse things.*

 "Ah yes, very sensible analysis. I fully agree."

Almost in response, Yondor's blue eyes reflect a love, an understanding, that only beings highly experienced in life's many struggles can convey. "Worry not, friend. We all have to make sacrifices for the causes we believe in. What would you have me do, sir?" 

*Coolio, makes sense* 

 "We need to initiate a high stakes hit and run mission, so to speak. We would need to plan a distraction, and run into the middle of an army at least twice the size of ours, to steal a crucial payload. Every last bit of it. You showed much confidence and wit in your last task, and possibly have more of an idea of the workings of the gape than anyone else. It's a very high risk for a high reward, you'd be in more danger than anyone else... but I'd trust you to head up such a mission more than any other general or commander I have." He looks Yondor in the eyes, a sadness but also a confidence in their depths. "Its a lot to ask, but you're the guilds best option."

*ok this is my chance*

"Now what do we have here?" An ominous voice echoes.

*so in lore, i'm soghum, an eye tyrant who controls the underdark underneath this area. He's helping queen Yvonne escape for reasons no-one can fathom.*

 The king, locked in battle, hesitates for a second as he hears the voice. But before he knows it, he's being struck at again, and has to react.

*Depending on what Yvonne see's fit, as Elsa is her character, Elsanova may be able to investigate the voice if you're character doesn't come forward before then*

*Soghum comes forward if Yvonne or elsa get damaged, or if anyone dies*

"Interesting. A rivalry of sorts. I didn't know it went this far."

Yvonne loads her crossbow and fires another shot at Amidais, hoping to break concentration on their Haste: 18 to hit, 3 damage. Since Amidais spent his reaction to cast his readied spell, he can't cast shield, so he's easier to hit.

Quote from Former_Queen_Yvonne >>

Yvonne loads her crossbow and fires another shot at Amidais, hoping to break concentration on their Haste: 18 to hit, 6 damage. Since Amidais spent his reaction to cast his readied spell, he can't cast shield, so he's easier to hit.

Since that hits, the bolt landing squarely in Amidais' shoulder, he needs to make a Con save to maintain his focus on haste.

Con save: 17

The Spider king notices the powers of the spell, feeling his reactions speed up. In a burst of anger, he swings twice at what he thinks is the fake version of himself, wondering who would dare impersonate him and be able to stand up for themselves in battle. But he still knows that he will make short work of these three, no matter what gets in the way. 

He uses the extra attack action that Amidais has granted him to make a slash at Yvonne. His heads too crowded for him to properly worry if Amidais is okay after being shot, but he's not about to let Yvonne shoot him again. Following his heads orders to attack and ignoring his heart telling him to think, he strikes out with his attacks.

At the king:

26 to hit, 7 slashing damage and 5 from improved divine smite. 22 extra radiant damage from third level divine smite.

24 to hit, 6 slashing damage and 8 from improved divine smite. 19 extra radiant damage from third level divine smite.

At Yvonne:

26 to hit, 7 slashing damage and 5 from improved divine smite. 12 extra radiant damage from third level divine smite.

He uses his bonus action to cast healing word on Amidais and heal him for 8 hit points.

Amidais continues to hold concentration on his spell, not really being able to do much besides move to be closer to his King.

Elsa sees the magic emboldening the Spider King, and Cunning Action dashes around the Spider King to attempt to tackle Amidais. I'll consider this an attempt to grapple, so that would be 18 to hit.

Amidais continues to hold concentration on his spell, not really being able to do much besides move to be closer to his King.

Elsa sees the magic emboldening the Spider King, and Cunning Action dashes around the Spider King to attempt to tackle Amidais. I'll consider this an attempt to grapple, so that would be 18 to hit.

Since that very much hits Amidais' AC, he is grappled, and both he and Elsa are prone, as Elsa's leaping tackle knocks him off-balance. If that doesn't break concentration on the spell, then I don't know what will.

The king is shaken at the damage he took from that last attack that hit him. But then he see's Elsa's attempt to help, and immediately begins to worry even more. "Elsa! Be carful!" He wants nothing more that to go and rescue them, but the spider king is in his way, and Elsa is actually doing a good job of helping. Maybe, if he can take out the Spider King quickly...

The king makes two more attacks at the spider king.

12 to hit, 4 slashing damage and 5 from improved divine smite. 17 extra radiant damage from second level divine smite.

17 to hit, 6 slashing damage and 5 from improved divine smite. 18 extra radiant damage from second level divine smite.

Both of those miss, the Spider king dodging despite the loss of Haste and the wave of fatigue that he's about to suffer at its ending.

Yvonne hears the voice in her head. "Come. It is your life and elsanova's that matters. Leave that pathetic king to rot."

Yvonne staggers back, seeing old wounds reopened from the King's sword strike. She tries to shove the Spider King away from her, rearing up slightly using her two front Arachne legs to kick him out of melee range. *I'm pretty sure shoving a creature is an Athletics contest, with the spider king staying put if he rolls higher.*

Athletics check: 7

If the shove succeeds, Yvonne uses her movement to get as close to Elsa as possible. If not, she stays put to avoid an opportunity attack.

*ok, Yvonne took a hit, I come in now*

Everyone freezes as a Beholder floats into view. It stares maliciously at the spider king.

"What did you just do?"

Add one 14 to the initiative order.

Yvonne seems equal parts frustrated and frightful. "Oh, come on! A beholder too? What in the Hells happened while we were gone?"

 The beholder sighs. "Yvonne, don't you remember your old friend Soghum?"

 *You may be in luck if the spider king rolls low, somehow he doesn't actually have proficiency in athletics*

8

*Damn, that was close*

The Spider king stays put, but misses a turn because of the effects after losing haste.

Soghum takes his turn next, directing his paralyzing ray at amaidas, and his fear and enervation rays at the spider king. Amadias has to make a DC 16 dexterity save or be paralyzed for 1 minute. Spider king has to make 2 DC 16 dexterity saves or be frightened for 1 minute and take 8d8 necrotic damage, 4d8 on a successful save. I also direct my antimagic cone at amaidas.

Amidais struggles against Elsa's grapple: 0

"Ah yes, very sensible analysis. I fully agree."

Almost in response, Yondor's blue eyes reflect a love, an understanding, that only beings highly experienced in life's many struggles can convey. "Worry not, friend. We all have to make sacrifices for the causes we believe in. What would you have me do, sir?" 

*Coolio, makes sense* 

 "We need to initiate a high stakes hit and run mission, so to speak. We would need to plan a distraction, and run into the middle of an army at least twice the size of ours, to steal a crucial payload. Every last bit of it. You showed much confidence and wit in your last task, and possibly have more of an idea of the workings of the gape than anyone else. It's a very high risk for a high reward, you'd be in more danger than anyone else... but I'd trust you to head up such a mission more than any other general or commander I have." He looks Yondor in the eyes, a sadness but also a confidence in their depths. "Its a lot to ask, but you're the guilds best option."

 The wizard nods slowly as the King explains, and does his best to start brainstorming plans, not wanting to waste a second. "Mm, I understand. This will be extremely difficult... but really, honestly, I don't have much to lose. This is for the good of the people, so I might as well!" He seems to set his jaw, and stand a little straighter. "So of course, I accept this mission. Let's start coming up with a plan, shall we?" 

*Ok so from what Yondor saw in the gape, how much of the adamantine was in there? And how much was in boulder form, and how big were the boulders? Sorry, there are gonna be a lot of specific little questions*
