(Attack Spider: d20-Roll 13)
Somebody finally managed to hit something. Coming down with great force, the blade sliced into the spider's head. While the brain wasn't exactly smashed to goo, it still received a severe level of damage. Unable to survive this last injury, the spider clenched its legs up together and moved no more.
Jeshua
Since Jeshua had already astral scanned one spider, he didn't see much of a point in scanning the rest. Therefore, he decided, it would be prudent of him to ensure the destruction of these monsters before he wound up having to dodge any flying rocks. To this end, he raised his staff into the air, magical energy flowing into it, then waved it around and pointed it at the spider that had thrown the rock at thrown the rock at Seryntas. With a bright flash, a large fireball streaked toward the spider.
(Fireball: d20-Roll 19)
The fireball crashed into the spider and then flashed out into a fiery explosion. Several of the spider's legs flew away, torn from the spider's body by the force of the blast. When the flash disappeared, all that was left of the spider was a crushed and burning corpse.
Order of Initiative
1. Spider 3
2. Jeshua
3. Kilisha
4. Xiao Long
5. Seryntas
Spider 3
The last spider standing, having seen its comrade utterly demolished by Jeshua's spell, decided that the mage was the target most necessary to deal with. Moving quickly, it darted over to the old man and bit at him.
(Attack Jeshua: d20-Roll 5)
The creature only caught part of the mage's robe in its mouth. After chewing for a moment, the creature released the cloth, realizing that it had not accomplished anything.
Jeshua
Again, Jeshua held his staff into the air. Its end began to glow, and he then slammed it down towards the spider's head.
(Magic Strike: d20-Roll 1)
The mage's senses must have deteriorated in his old age, because instead of hitting the spider, he managed to slam the staff down onto his own foot. By quickly pulling the magic back out of the staff, he was able to save his foot from total destruction, but the pain resulting from the hit was still enough to cause him to yelp.
Kilisha
Kilisha pulled back another arrow and pointed it at the spider. She hesitated for a moment before firing, almost certain that something bad was going to come of this move. Still, she knew that she needed to destroy the spider before it managed to bite someone. With that thought, she released.
(Arrow Shot: d20 Roll 20)
Kilisha gritted her teeth as the arrow seemed to fly through the air in slow motion. She just knew the thing was going to go straight for Jeshua. But, fortunately, no. To her great relief, the arrow drove into the spider's neck, causing the creature's head to pop off. And with that, the last spider was no more.
