46 - Gold - Goblin Ranger
Gold picks up his weapons and evaluate the situation.
And he says to his group: "My God, those spiders look dreadful".
Cornholio will sacrifice himself to the horde.

My hours aren't working out for this. I'm probably already days late.

Cool idea though, I'll check by from time to time to see what happens.
Godbran Helloburger the Halfling Thief feels kind of confused here.
Unfriendly spiders and huge centipedes having blades instead of legs are all nice and dandy but seems like we don't have one but TWOOO Drows in this tunnel.
That is absolutely catastrophic since the only thing Godbran Helloburger can't stand having near him in this life bestowed to him (which hopefully won't end yet) is a Droooow.
He even has a Super Special Weapon™ to make sure he avoids such occasions. It's actually a picture (the artist is master of his craft, just look at the precision of the brush strokes!) of his granny Smileene Helloburger who was so far the only person in his family who encountered a Drow and manage to chase IT away by power of her smile!

So, those gears are turning real hard in Godbran Helloburger's head right now.
1. Can he simple sneak away to safe penalty-less position away from those nasty Drows or must he use his Super Special Weapon™ to make them move away?
2. Is stepping away from a spider something manageable at this point or must he trow one of his magical throwing knives that will blind the spider and then get to safe distance?
3. Or is the invisibility potion the only solution in this dark hour in a very dark tunnel?
I guess consulting some inner DOCtorly voice about what are the possible actions to take right now, is in order.

Keep in mind that phase spiders can, well, phase. Unless they can't know you're there, being away from the group is probably what you really don't want with those around.

It's still unclear (at least to me) if there are 4 giant sword spiders out of which 2 are phasers and can teleport or if there are 4 giant sword spiders plus 2 phase spiders for a total of 6.

Seemed very clear to me. 2nd option.

Cardan - Half Orc Berserker

Ah, Cardan feels much better, Shaman Fognino and Shaman Balbok friends! And now see many spiders. Cardan's greataxe hungry for blood! Maybe fresh spider taste good? Crush first spider Cardan sees!
With Cardan back in shape, Fognino the Shaman moves behind the fighters taking on the spiders in case they need support.
Eastern tunnel:

79 - Vertel - Human - Thief regains control, sweat pouring down his body.

31 - Valius - Elven Battlemage - casts Detect Secrets *rolls dice* two doors become visible, one on either side of the dark area.

6 - Pater Alf - Half Orc Warrior rushes the Sword Spiders *rolls dice* he deflects a bite away with his shield.

49 - Zazz - Goblin Berserker assumes a battle stance.

11 - Fognino - Goblin Shaman casts heal in the direction that 8 - Cardan - Half Orc Berserker was trod on by Balbok.
*rolls dice* the spell works and Cardan feels his strength return.

14 - Lady Beatrice Eilonwy Giulietta Giselle - Elf Druid casts Summon Earth Elemental in front of the spiders.

62 - Thelis - Human Ranger readies his bow.

17 - Tridris - Drow Necromancer casts Death Armour.

71 - Gar Dragonlord of Vadenville - Elf Paladin moves up and attacks a Sword Spider *rolls dice* His strike removes two legs causing it to retreat in pain.
*rolls dice* a Sword Spider lunges at Gar piercing his abdomen and poisoning him.
*rolls dice* Gar Dragonlord of Vadenville - Elf Paladin collapses to the ground.
*rolls dice* a third spider thrusts its sword like legs through Gar's armour and into his chest *rolls dice*
71 - Gar Dragonlord of Vadenville - Elf Paladin is no more.

8 - Cardan - Half Orc Berserker invisibility wears off.

27 - Balbok - Half-Orc Shaman - casts heal on Cardan - Half Orc Berserker completing the healing process.

44 - Franziskan - Human Cleric steps over 71 - Gar Dragonlord of Vadenville - Elf Paladin body with his Holy Guardian at his side. *rolls dice* Two Sword Spiders react and attack.
*rolls dice* One is torn apart by the Holy Guardian *rolls dice* One stabs the Holy Guardian twice but it still stands.

53 - Krssl Kssk - Drow Necromancer - watchers the Spiders ignore him. He casts Summon Undead *rolls dice* a Ghoul rises from the ground. *rolls dice* 53 - Krssl Kssk - Drow Necromancer with some effort stops the ghoul attacking the living nearby.

12 - Garethianopolisian - Half Orc Ranger moves against the edge of tunnel and bashes it. *rolls dice* Nothing happens. He readies his weapons.

47 - Raybur Wolfsktaa - Male Dwarven Cleric advances slowly weapon in hand.

46 - Gold - Goblin Ranger - readies his weapons.

33 - Cornholio - Goblin Berserker charges past everyone, launching himself at the three remaining Sword Spiders.
*rolls dice* he kills the one missing two legs with his spiked flail *rolls dice* but is stabbed repeatedly by the other two spiders, falling dead.

23 - Godbran Helloburger - Halfling Thief *rolls dice* slips into the shadows at the left side of the tunnel. He sees a newly revealed door up ahead.

8 - Cardan - Half Orc Berserker flexes his muscles ready for action but at the back of the group.

Having been left unmolested, the Phase Spiders complete their spells *rolls dice*
One Phase Spider appears behind 8 - Cardan - Half Orc Berserker and lunges *rolls dice* the spider misses.
One Phase Spider appears next to 17 - Tridris - Drow Necromancer and lunges *rolls dice* the spider bites the Drow in the head. This has no effect and there are no visible signs of damage to the Drow. *rolls dice*
The Spider shrivels into a husk, its life force consumed by the Death Armour spell.

Thelis shoots his bow at the phase spider, trying to help 8 - Cardan - Half Orc Berserker.

62 - Thelis - Human Ranger
Godbran Helloburger the Halfling Thief plans his next move(s) in the following order:

1. Gets to the newly revealed door on the left side.
2. If there are any spiders still standing at this moment he throws one magical throwing knife that may blind its target. He is aiming the closest spider to him, but only if in that very moment that spider is engaged in combat with someone who can use the fact that it will hopefully be blind and can't retaliate.
3a. He checks if the door is trapped.
3b. If the door is trapped he uses trap disarming kit.
3c. If the door is locked he uses his trusted lockpick.
4. Once he is sure the door in safe to pass through he whistles but says no more end enters.

In his mind he is hoping for two things to happened, even though he doesn't have any influence on them:
1. That if he throws one of his magical throwing knives someone will pick it up for later use as he hates when things go to waste.
2. That no bloody Drows will follow him through the left side door if they live past the spiders encounter.

And me.... since I'm attacking this one.
Question, how does Earth Elemental moves? By doc or by me?

Franziskan Human Cleric

It seems we have more than enough firepower to finish the spiders. Gar? Gar? Gar Dragonlord of Vadenville is dead? He courageously faced all the sword spiders and took many blows that could have killed more than one of us. I shall not allow this. He might be a wacko but he's cool and a paladin is a force of light in this dark tunnel.

GAR DRAGONLORD OF VADENVILLE, RISE FROM THE DEAD AND JOIN US AGAIN IN THE FIGHT AGAINST EVIL!

I cast Resurrect on Gar
Assessing the outcome of the first rush, Calad decides against taking himself to a safer position for the moment and:
a) If the remaining phase spider is still alive then, uses his wand of Acid Arrows on the remaining phase spider.
b) If the phase spider has already been killed but any sword spiders are still alive, uses his wand of Acid Arrows on the more distant sword spider (which may also be the only one if just one is still alive, of course)
c) If/when all spiders are dead and Godbran Helloburger has opened the door and safely gone through, follows Godbran Helloburger through the left door.
d) If Godbran Helloburger does not safely go through the door (due to trap, lock, enemy or any other reason), takes a safe position in the group and waits for further developments.
