Delve the 8th

[kipper]

If Maloof is near the door, he'll stand by to slam it shut on command.

[Makofan]

The party's missile fire is haphazard, but good enough to do the job, as the spider gets whacked from its web and splats against the wall. The other two spiders stir, and start to scramble towards the party

| DM: You can probably get off another round of missile fire, then have to endure an attack from any spider that survived. You can also close the door, or have some other creative strategies |

MECHANICS
Players have surprise

Rhod, 8, miss
Grampus, 16, hits for <1d6>=2, killing it
Wiglaff, 8, miss

[acodispo]

I'm in favour of another round of missiles, even if it means we suffer an attack from the survivor.

[Makofan]

How would you allocate the missile fire?

[coffee]

I'd say fire at will. I'd like to say "shoot the one that's closest!" but I get the impression that would be a tough call. So I think Fire At Will is our best bet.

Rhod will fire at the one on the left.

(Do we get 2 missiles per turn, since we're standing, or is that more of a Chainmail thing? Just checking; it's been so long since I've fired an arrow around here...)

"Shoot the spider on our left!" shouts Wiglaff, and does so.

yes you do -I missed that rule. So you will get two shots each this round

[coffee]

Woo hoo! Firing twice on the one on the left.

[Makofan]

Wiglaff holds his fire a second, and sees Rhod kill his spider while Grampus misses. Wiglaff finishes off the last spider with a deft shot

| I took some creative liberty here, and decided to have Wiglaff wait and lose one attack so he could see the outcome of the divided missile fire, and pick up any that are missed. I hope Wiglaff is not too upset with me |

MECHANICS
Rhod @spider, rolls 20 and 11, killing it handily
Grampus @spider, rolls 2 and 4 missing it
Wiglaff @spider, rolls 13 and hits for 4 damage, killing it

[acodispo]

I hope Wiglaff is not too upset with me

Wiglaff is well-pleased with the results!!

First Wiglaff will check the ceiling inside the room for any additional spiders. If there are none, he'll advance into the room very carefully, looking for additional exits.

If there are no additional exits, he'll take a look at the glinting!
