# 33_20201218 Ettercaps just want food ## Session Summary Fuego was attacked by Spider Spire Ettercaps who had holed up in the the Spider Spire. We killed one of the ettercaps before their queen came out to negotiate with us. She declared a ceasefire because she didn't want to lose any more of them. We agreed, and began to exchange information. This colony of ettercaps came to Castle Never from a portal, and have been slowly losing members since, due to lack of food. They agreed to help us by telling us everything they know about "big eye with fang" in the castle. ^summary ## Recap ![[32_20201213 The Spider Spire#^summary]] ## Log - I had just sent [[Fuego the Fire Warrior]] up when he is attacked. - Spider face, holding a spear - Fuego's AC is 18 - Initiative - 32 Maestro - Baddies 1 and 2 - 20 Eraithe - 15 (24) Galadim - 15 (7) Gloomtoes - 11 Xio - 6 Ka'ira - {{[[table]]}} - **Name** - **Damage taken** - **Total HP** - **Healing Surges** - **Effects** - Maestro - - - - - - Ka'ira - -18 - - - ongoing 5 poison and slowed (save ends) - Hill - - - - Gloomtoes - -13 - - - ongoing 5 poison and slowed (save ends) - Xio - - - - Eraithe - -5 - - - ongoing 5 poison, slowed (save ends) - Galadim - -4 - Fuego - -DEAD - 12/20, +2 defenses - Baddies (3 [[Ettercap]]s) #[[The Spider Spire Ettercaps]] - two-toed, two-clawed, bipedal with two arms - 8 legs - dripping with venom - Of course not hindered by webs - seem to be able to see in the dark - spider swarm - They can attack anyone next to them as a free action - They're all spitting small webs that slow - melee and single target ranged does half damage - Get a free action against people that start their turn next to them - Defenses - AC: 21 - - immobilize with webs - Defenses - Reflex: 18 - Will: 17 - Fuego - AC 18, Fort 22 - Round 1 - [x] Move to see baddies - Round 2 - [x] Free action: Identify them - [x] Minor action: move light - [x] Standard: Second wind for Fuego - [x] Move: Fly 6 - Round 3 - [x] Standard: Attack swarm with sacred flame - [x] Move: closer to within 3 - [x] Minor: Knack for Success - [x] Free: Save from immobilization - Round 4 - [x] Minor: Extract Name on Baddie 2 SUCCEEDED - [x] Standard: Heal Eraithe with Healing Word - [x] Move: Fuego will move above 1 - Round 5 - [x] Standard: Sacred Flame swarm - [x] Move: diagonally behind Ka'ira? - New ettercap comes in, clothed and with a spear and tells ettercap 2 and spiderlings to stop. - Ka'ira finds out that the other ettercaps seem to be drones or guards.
