Borthan Zuek Half-Drow Ranger AC: 12 HP: 23/29 PP: 14 PIv: 9 PIs: 12 Conditions: Concentrating on: Hunter's Mark: Target- Giant Spider (1 hour) Bort follows the path of the stone that killed the drow guard and spots Nilvae. He smiles at her, raises his index finger, and pointed at the dead man in congratulations, and perhaps a friendly challenge. Fighting for his life was much more comfortable to Borthan than socializing in the good inn Hellhole they'd been staying at. He suddenly realized he'd been there the longest of them all. He still wouldn't miss it. Then the spider ended his frivolity with a tackle. He raised the stone dagger up just in time to brace himself and shove it back, preventing it from biting him by mere inches. He assumed a low stance, stepping back. And stepping on something. He didn't need to look to know what it was, either. Reaching down, Borthan scoops up the fallen drow's shortsword with his left hand. Then he spun it in his palm to reverse the grip. He felt whole again, with something deadly in each hand. It felt right. All those years of training began to kick in. From Vrek. From Ee'char. And, like he had so many time before today, he fell into a lethal rhythm. He uttered the word Prey! in the language of the grey dwarves. It was a passionate word, if one can be passionate about killing. Borthan's eyes dilated completely, and instinctively he knew where to strike for the best effect. Swinging the shortsword down in a reverse grip with full force, he attempted to stab the creature in the head. He wasn't an expert in spiders like his father's line, so he made his best guess on what constituted the head of the beast with lethal intention.
