Round 3 vs Spiders: Aberforth - Scroll of Sleep Tarn - Potion/No action Knifk - Potion De'kra - Potion Dak - Potion Swindle pulls out his spectacles and unrolls the scroll. With an arcane tongue, some finger wiggling, nose twitching and booty shaking, the Giant Spider succumbs to drowsy sleep. The rest of the heroes consume their potions, trying to by more time and make it through the battle, but the spider's venom has not lost its sting (-1).

I have a second quest written up already, but I need to finish the one I am hosting now. It has been a learning experience!

Bioniclover - do you want to take the potion?

Hoke leaps forward, dispatches a rebel, and turns his sights on another. U, front row

Round 2 vs Spiders: Tarn - Smelling salts/Mead Tarn vs Giant Spider - Special Damage Knifk vs Giant Spider - Miss De'kra - Special Damage Dak - Miss Aberforth - Miss Tarn proves that barbarians can employ a little strategy in battle. He quickly consume the smelling salts and mead. However, his speed and power count for nothing and the Giant Spider leaps forward in an acidic venom spray twice. Knifk blocks with his shield and the other party members flail about missing their strikes as they successfully dodge the spider's fury.

Neat! Looks a lot like the giant spider I built for Heroica (which does have 8 legs):

Says they are available at every single Target around me. But I know they aren't as series 6 is just popping up around here.

"I'm a wall of steel!" Hoke yells gleefully at Tesni. "I hope I can keep this up." Rebel N front row

I was thinking something a tad bit more mundane.

Y'all will be in good hands.

OOC - I am assuming that I will repreat my action since the next round was almost auto rolled, but if not: Cpt A front row.

He seems unhappy with the quest, and I was giving him a way out. I'm not upset with this at all. It's just a game to play for fun. How I am supposed to know if clarification is needed when no one asked? Furthermore scuba was the first to post in this thread with his gripe instead of just handling it in the quest thread or via PM. As I posted before he seemed more concerned for Guts and not the party. If his concern was for the better of the group and not just for his own, I may have been more lenient. Again he did not seem bothered by Dak's knockout in the first encounter even suggested the delay of Dak's revival which may have resulted in lost exp. Basically you get what you give. Take the good with the bad and let's just play.

The funnest quest I have been in involved enemies with 200+ hp and round limits when my character was at level 6.

I posted after your post. I agree it's just a game but I want to have level headed players who can take the good with the bad.

Not at all. The party has the ability to take the spider out in a few rounds. What's the point of playing if there's no challenge?

What mistake? The special mechanic worked as I intended. Just because you didn't understand it doesn't make it a mistake. You seem the be the only one having a problem with it. Also, the other party members received 6 damage and none have complained about it.

Your whining because your character got knocked out for 1 fight. I don't recall this much concern for Dak in the first fight.

That's your choice.

I edited the bandits' stats for clarification. I have not edited anything else. Stop being a sorry sport or Guts will wake up in Heroica Hall.

You're knocked out for now.

Just 1. Can't get poisoned twice.

"Or he may prefer I just protect her with my shield the entire battle," quipped Hoke with a laugh.

Round 1 vs Spiders: Tarn vs Spiders - Lightning Bomb Knifk vs Giant Spider - Shield De'kra vs Giant Spider - Special Damage Guts vs Giant Spider - Damage Dak vs Giant Spider - Special Damage Aberforth vs Giant Spider Miss What began with a good strategy ends with wounded heroes. Tarn throws his lightning bomb true and dissolves the spiderlings and singes the Giant Spider (-5). Knifk senses the rage of the chitinous giant, and raises his shield, ready to defend for the next round. De'kra tries to jump out and take the Giant Spider by surprise, but the venomous behemoth lashes out and coats the entire party with acidic venom, causing the entire party to be poisoned (-3)! Blinded by the spray, Guts is stabbed in the guts by the Giant Spider's forelimbs (-10). Dak repeats the mistake of Dek'ra, causing another blast of acidic venom that drops Guts into vomiting convulsions (-3). Swindle's uncourageous squeal causes his amethyst fueled blast to miss its intended mark.

OOC - Nope, he has eight. He is standing on the back two, ready to pounce!

The heroes choose to remain on the current path. Downward the tunnel winds around a lone corner. The heroes enter a large room and are greeted with a chitinous hiss as a large form scuttles down the side of the rock face.
