Hood had a lit torch and stood in the opening, reading to throw the torch in if any of the creepy crwlies began moving in the elf’s direction. He kept his gaze above Suivail the whole time. . . .

Hood (with the fire, man)

OOC: Bump :)

Ooc: Guess we lost the other guy
OOC: NPC candidate? Spider magnet?

There was a chittering sound from above. The webs were a bit sticky, but not sticky enough to entangle Sural. They seemed to be hanging among the mushrooms, not quite touching them though.

The closer in that Sural moved the more he did see fine web strands all about him. They were not previously visible - only the thicker ones were. These were fine and only caught now and again in the torchlight. He reported this. “Fine web strands here. Very fine. I think that I am stirring up some interest this way,” he said quietly over to the others. “I’m going to continue this. Warn me if they are preparing to drop.”

His mind ran over possible things he could do. Spells possibly. Fight another possibility. He could do both, though these kinds of spiders he had not encountered before. His ‘terrain’, what he was used to was forests and open spaces under the sky and stars. He could not quite understand his cave preferring cousins.
Suravil

Hood held the torch away from the opening, but was prepared to throw it in none-the-less. Keeping it too close might stir the bugs up and cause them to react to Suravil.

“Suravil, I’ve got your back. Be ready to jump out of there on my mark.”

Hood (bearer of the torch)

Suravil glanced back upwards. He knew that he was being the bait and willingly so. He had served for a time as an enforcer, a bounty hunter and had put himself in positions of danger before. His time as that was certainly not complete; he yet had a list of names to seek out when he was not otherwise working, like now, to fund his mission. He hoped with time he would gain the experience and prowess to better continue in his personal mission and yield better rewards in treasure, skills, and items. He knew that it would be better for them to be prepared for the battle and fight on their terms than to be surprised, even if it was only with large venomous spiders. They were, to Suravil, a blight to nature, an abomination that he would not mind removing.

“I’m ready,” he said, bending to delicately pluck the mushroom heads and toss them into the sack, ever ready to abandon it and take up arms if need be. He felt it to be an eventuality and was ready for it.
- Suravil

As Suravil stepped in, Hood moved in behind him into the opening. He kept one eye on the spellcaster and the other on the ceiling, with torch being ready to be thrown into the room.
