    Grimgor Ghoulsbane, Dwarven Warder

    Grimgor nodded to the bird-man. He could feel the warm waves of vitality and light coming off of him, He murmured to no one in particular”If’n yer near me, ye’ll be safer ...”. As the group considered a way ahead, he found his eyes drawn to the feathered friends of his companions. Scratching his beard he spoke aloud, his voice like a rumbling avalanche.

    “Aramus an’ Felix, aye? Kin yer birds scout a bit? Find us a place t’enter?”

    Felix looks at Isaac who seemimngly understands pretty easily what Felix wanted at a glance. "Nope. Dont you dare say it!" Isaac proclaims in a bit of an outrage. Felix argues "Come on! I know you are never worried about death. Lets follow Grimgor´s suggestion.".

    "Doesnt mean I like spiders!" Isaac complains. "Just fly around for a bit within permitted range. Tell us if you see anything. You can even have some extra food when you return to the boat for the trouble." Felix begs his partner. Isaac sighs but flies around a bit to see if he finds anything.

    "If we're looking for the spiders (and maybe a decent tree or two) we ought to be heading into the interior," Lara suggests, taking a forward position in the group.

    "And careful of your birds in all these webs," she warns.

    The hawk and the parrot take to the wing floating on the warm thermals rising from the cliff face and staying over the water rather than the webbed jungle. The rest of the party move down the coast, the heat and heavy shrubbery slowing the progress. With the lack of birds and small primates the jungle is eerily silent although after an hour you all pause. The jungle opening slightly as a narrow stream winds through the jungle and pours over the cliff. You see as you inland the shallow stream (maybe knee high) some 100ft into the trees under the webbed netting from the overhanging branches what appears to be a partially rotted and web shrouded rowing boat...

    looking around carefully it all looks peaceful, until just by the boat Aramus's sharp eyes notice that what looked like a log isn't. Its a massive arachnid with a leg the size of logs, the beast still but likley watching! Its scuttles into life suddenly a massive tarantula covered in bristly hair, its eight eyes scanning for prey. The thing is massive, some 20ft wide with a body larger than a horse and pincers like scimitars!


    OOC
    Init

    Aramus, Lara, Kona
    Spider
    Rest of the party

    You are on a ~20ft wide stretch of clear ground parallel to the cliff and looking down a 10ft wide shallow stream where the spider is running from. The rest of the area is thick undergrowth (difficult terrain)

    "They weren't kidding about the huge spiders!" Lara exclaims, "Steady guys, we'll work together!"

    She holds back at first, the difficult terrain and the distance to the spider limiting her options.

    As Aramus and Kona line up alongside the tough dwarf at the front of the party the spider scuttles forward through the thick webbing with freakish speed, it’s huge hairy legs straddling the stream. As it closes on the front line it’s huge bulbous abdomen flicks up and a spray of hairy barbs each the size of a dagger are flung towards them!

    Aramus was marveling at the webs and how it all fit together, he was about to espouse about the wonderfully intricate designs that managed to form naturally, and then the giant hairy spider came into view and tried to cover them in barbs!

    Responding quickly, he ducks out of the way and brings up his bow, launching an arrow at the thing.

    Grimgor Ghoulsbane, Dwarven Warder

    Grimgor stared at the boat for long moments, eyes gauging the distance from it to the river. ”Damn, Tha' river ain't as safe as ye'd think, ah guess ...” But before anyone could investigate further, Aramus pointed out a log ... that moved. “Ghoul's balls! Spider!”

    The creature scuttled forward, unimpeded by the webs, and sprayed out a mess of barbed webs. Grimgor raised his giant-sticker, ducking behind his weapon. Most of the nastiness missed him, but he cursed under his breath as he shook off some of the webs on his pike. His eyes narrowed as he considered how far the spider was. He knew he could make it to the beast, but a glance at the others showed they were settling in and preparing to receive the spider here in the opening.

    Nodding to himself, he took a step forward and gave the others a dark grin, belting out, "Steady now, lads and lass! Tis but a bug!" Then he lowered his spear and took a defensive stance to protect the path to his Captain and companions.

    OOC - Holding for now. So 5' to keep himself in front of the others (45' to spider). As a swift action, activate Defending the Pride (+4 AC [morale] to allies w/in 60' for 3 rounds - doesn't stack with the Aegis!). Enter Defensive Focus to recover his two expended maneuvers, gain Combat Reflexes and reach increase by 10' ... so threatening to 20'

    Kona, Lara and Grimgor line up, a wall of steel as Grimgor lets loose a battle cry that inspires his allies as he readies to receive the charge! Behind the three of them Tygar and Aramus release arrows that thud into the massive hairy spider and Felix releases a missile of force that punches a small hole in the chitin!

    The spider hurtles forward on its massive legs, pincers snapping as it pounces upon the line of three of them, its massive arms and greatsword sized pincers snapping in with lightning speed! Even as it does so Kona relases some of his pent up energy and the spiders lets loose a clack of annoyance as the acid spray burns a horrible scar on its fat hairy body

    Grimgor Ghoulsbane, Dwarven Warder

    Grimgor watched as the spider rushed forward. He thrust his pike at the beast, but it slipped to the side at the last minute and lashed out at Lara. Grimgor shouted out, ”Watch it, lass!", then thrust with is weapon with all the power of a giant tortoise chomping down. As he thrust, Grimgor growled aloud, “Watch yerself, beasti! Ah'll have one o'those fangs afore we're done!” His tone was insulting and taunting, even for a giant spider

    OOC - As an immediate action, when the spider attacks Lara, Grimgor expends his counter, Warning Roar (Diplomacy check vs attack roll to negate attack). It gives up his swift action this round, but here's hoping! Dip vs 29 - (1d20+13)[27]
    EDIT: So close! Sorry, RCG ... I tried!

    Standard attack w/+1 pike using Giant Snapping Turtle maneuver (add 3d6 damage, ignore damage resistance) and power attack. Still benefiting from +4 AC [morale] to allies w/in 60', but it doesn't stack with the Aegis!
    Attack/Dam Attack - (1d20+6)[21], Damage - (5d6+12)[33]. If attack is successful, Grimgor will mark the spider with the Armiger's Mark, which reduces attack rolls against anyone else by 4 (normal vs Grimgor)

    The mandibles that bit Lara cause Tygar to grit his teeth at the bloodied state of his Captain. The cleric moves back until he is at least 30 ft from Lara and 35 ft from the spider. He frees one hand from the bow to grasp his holy symbol carved in a wave shape. Uttering a swift prayer to the sea, he spreads his arms, sending translucent waters that builds into an omnidirectional waves surging forward. When they reach the limits of their confines, they crashes down onto the ground as the motion of the seawater reaches shore. The waves pass through Aramus, Felix, Grimgor, Kona and Lara, stopping in front of them without sweeping them out of their positions, waters not touching the huge tarantula. As the waters subside into nothingness, the targets the waves caught remain intact. No visible changes save Lara who looks less bloodied.

    Felix decides to try against with the same spell. No point in waiting for the creature to get any closer. He once again releases his barrage of energy spheres at the creature.

    The spider is assailed as arrows from Aramus bounce off it, more magic missiles punch into and Grimgor delivers a savage blow to its chest and roars a battle cry. But its the small kenku that in a spinning dervish of steel hacks open a great wound in the spiders abdomen! The massive creature lashes out at at Kona before stepping back hissing in anger and pain

    Kona the Illuminator

    Kona parries and dodges, but the legs are too strong and too numerous to defend against them all. They batter through his defenses, leaving him vulnerable to the mandibles, and he screams in pain and fear as they pierce his flesh and pump him full of venom.

    He slashes back at the head of the spider while it is still within sword range, then ducks in behind Grimgor to focus on healing his fresh wound.

    Grimgor winced as the spider reached past to strike at the small bird-man. The dwarf growled loudly, ”Git behind me, lad - there be beasties up here!". He then set his feet wide and swung his weapon mightily and attacked. “Over here, ye oversized bug! Ah'm gonna squish ye!”

    Even as the spider grasps Kona in its mandibles and delivers a terrible wound to the poor Kenku, Kona strikes back, whirling acidic fumes leeching from his blade as he hacks off one its front legs. more arrows rain off its heavy carapace, this time the points skittering off the surface. Even as Kona ducks out of the way its Grimgor who steps in and drives the long pike directly into its open maw! The heavy blade strikes what little brain such a beast has and that combined with the other damage wrought by the party is enough to end its existence as it collapses onto the jungle floor in a great heap....

    With the jungle restored to its suffocating silence you and all look around. Already the ground near the body is shifting and wriggling as hundreds of small (well, smaller than a haling hand) spiders appears from the trees and bushes and start nibbling at the bounty dropped in their midst. Looking beyond you can see the wrecked longboat at the end of the stream a bit more cleanly.

    Approaching carefully you can make out the name burned into the one of the partially rotted plants "The Red Viper"

    Spoiler: Know Local DC 21
    Show

    The Red Viper was a raiding boat, part of the Crimson Fleet pirates that have terrorised the region. It was assumed lost ~3 years ago when it stopped being heard of. Its Captain was the Lady Azura Correlax, a cruel woman who delighted in selling male slaves and having a mainly female crew. Rumours often spoke of her affliation to Demons and the demonic but no-one had lived long enough to ask further.



    The boat itself is long smashed and partially rotted. A long broken water bottle, empty and rotted grain bags and shattered oars and moist ropes (all typical boat fare) mark its fate. Of the crew there is no sign, although Aramus and Grimgor with their sharp eyes spot an old slash on a tree heading deeper into the jungle.

    Aramus holds his breath as he sees the spider crunch down upon Kona, one of his new stalwart companions! But Grimgor was able to come in and end the beast with a fell strike. He made a mental note of the dwarf, and to keep him close, or at the very least, alive.

    Moving forward, he looked to the kenku, making sure nothing was seriously amiss, and then pulled out a wand. "This will heal your wounds up, just a simple spell" he says calmly, spending a few charges on the warrior.

    He steps forward with the others, keeping a wary eye on the new smaller spiders, and looks over the boat. "The Red Viper?" he asks out loud "Never heard of them," he points off into the treeline "Though, it looks like some of the passengers may have gone that way."

    Tygar squints his eyes as he leans to peer at the name. He straightens and paces forth and back a bit. Repeating his first action once he stops pacing, the cleric shakes his head.

    "I do not know a Red Viper."

    He shudders as he turns his gaze to the jungle.

    "If we are going deeper, we need to make sure we are stocked before we proceed. I am low on normal arrows. I could use a moderate amount if someone else have some to spare."

    "Cant help either on this matter. though I can ask Isaac about it when we meet with him." Felix replies as he decides to at least analyze it from a different perspective. He begins casting a spell followed by a quick scan of the vessel. "I am on the look for magical auras. We might be able to find something at the very least."

    Looking around the boat the wily Kitsune cannot discern any. It looks very much lke the boat was stripped of most useful things, leaving only some basic foodstuffs and "boat stuff" on it when whatever shore party was here went ashore....

    Are you following the trail deeper into the spider woods?

    "Ow. Thanks for the save," Lara says, working a shoulder not fully healed from the substantial spider bite. "I hope there aren't a lot more like that one."

    "So this is what happened to it?" Lara muses as the party examines the wreckage. "The Red Viper here belonged to a band of female pirates working for The Crimson Fleet. Liked to take male slaves. I was there when they boarded Weazel cutter, took a few of the men they fancied and one of our women defected. I was too young to attract their notice at the time, thank gods. I've since heard their Captain Lady Azura liked to consort with demons. Anyway, if there were any survivors I wouldn't mind making sure the spiders got them. We'd be doing the whole coast a favour," Lara suggests, gesturing into the forest.

    Aramus nods to the words of Lara, and then mentally commands D'Artagnan to stay on this cliff and wait for them to come back, he wasn't about to have his companion be eaten by spiders.

    Still holding his bow, he motions to the mark, and moves forward, easily able to move through any vegetation as if he were born to it.
