Mikey grins back to Xynon and then smiles as he gestures to Alfie, Aunna and Reggie. "It helps to have help." Mikey chuckles at his simple statement before looking down at the strange creature. "Think this is a nest for these creatures or simply hunting grounds?" Mikey moves to squat close to the creature moving tentacles around in an attempt to draw inspiration from the creatures form.

"Help is helpful." Alfie says with a deadpan expression before continuing with, "For example, I did nothing and help helped." Alfie give a small chuckle at himself more than anything. "Well, I dont have a map of the entire level anymore, but if Im drawing and seeing correctly, this is a dead end. Should we go back to that path to the east and see what's down that way?"

"Give me but a moment." Mikey retrieves his sketch book and takes a minute to quickly draw the grick's mouth and tentacles as he both remembers and sees its form. Once his sketch is complete and all his allies are ready, Mikey will lead them to the previously un-traveled eastern passage.

Aunna nods. "Let's go."
Taking point, she stays a couple feet ahead. This time, she will take care to stay as quiet as she is perceptive. ...which apparently wasn't much since they were just ambushed by these damned creatures.

Everyone With Aunna taking lead back throughvthe cavernous corridor, you all move back through the catacombs of resting bones and down a straight corridor of flat 10-foot high ceilings that have small webbing along the top. Coming to the turn and looking towards the south, you can see it moves straight for 40-feet before turning to the west and out of sight and you all notice the webbing increases by a large amount down this corridor. The corridor you stand in also continues to the southeast for another 10-feet before turning into a more rocky caverned corridor that twists around towards the north and out of sight. The spider webbing continues through the corridors, but not as immense as the southern corridor.

Noticing Aunna's silent steps, Mikey indicates with his hand to head down the eastern passage.

Noting Aunna stealthy approach to the situation Xynon follows suit and begins stepping lightly.
When the group approaches the all the webbing Xynon is careful to disturb as little as possible, primarily due to making the mistake previously and it taking him hours to remove the webbing from his fur.

Alfie follows the group down the passageways. As the party begins to slow and quietly move around corners, he does the same and telepathically asks Reggie to stay very quiet as well. Goosebumps begin to ripple down Alfie's arms as the spider webs become thicker and more frequent. Not being a fan of arachnids, Alfie mentally begins to recall all the fire spells he knows in a sort of mental preparation in case the need to burn the entire dungeon arises.

With Mikey's head nodding towards the east, she gives her own nod in understanding. Following the eastern corridor, she keeps her footsteps soft and light as she remains alert to what may come...

Everyone With a direction chosen, Aunna continues to lead you all into the tight cavern passage for about 25-feet before the passage splits into two separate directions. The passage to the north continues just to the edge of the light being cast from Alfie's driftglobe before turning towards the east and out of sight. The passage leading towards the southeast continues to the edge of Alfie's light cast from the driftglobe before the natural darkness consumes the passage.
Xynon Looking down the southeastern passage, you can see it continues past the range of the light cast from the driftglobe for about another 15-feet before curving towards the north and out of sight.

"This path," he gestures to the souther passage, "Appears to continue then curve to the north," he then falls quiet and waits for the others to make a decision.
Once the decision is made Xynon follows.

Hearing Xynon's comment about the southern passage and liking Aunna's confidence, Mikey looks to his lead companion with a smile. "Which way would you like to take us?" Noticing the quiet of his compatriots Mikey will attempt to move stealthily as well.

Aunna looks back at the others. Not really caring on the direction they travelled, she took Xynon's suggestion to go further south.
"Let's head south, but make sure one of you is watching out back. We don't want something from that way..." She points to the northern corridor. "...creeping up on us."

Everyone With Aunna taking point on the direction once more, you all follow her into the southeastern passage that continues in a sort of straight line for 60-feet before sharply twisting towards the northeast and opening into another cavern. The theme of spiderwebbong continues across the ceiling of this passage and cavern, but no large spiders are spotted as you enter into the chamber that opens up more towards the south. Another passage leading around a corner and towards the northwest is spotted but it curves out fo sight to tell what is ahead.
Initiative(SurpriseRound:PhaseSpider1,PhaseSpider3,PhaseSpider4,PhaseSpider2)Reggie,Mikey,Xynon,PhaseSpider1,Alfie,PhaseSpider3,Aunna,PhaseSpider4,PhaseSpider2 As Aunna turns towards you all to start discussing where to head next, a faint sucking noise is heard from next to Alfie as a large spider, a pale blue and white in colour, apparates on its hind legs and swiftly pincers into Alfie to bite down on him. The fangs of the creature pierce through the cloth on his skin and into his veins (8 Piercing damage).
Within second sof the first spider appearing behind Alfie, another one appears infront of Aunna, furiously biting out towards her. The fangs easily pierce through Aunna's clothes and into her skin, injecting a large amount of poison into her system (12 Piercing, 18 Poison Damage).
In rapid succession, another two large spiders apparate from thin air on either side of Mikey, essentially closing the group in together, and both lash out at him with their fangs. Mikey manages to use his shield to push the spider on his left away, while using his gaunleted hand to whack away at the spider on the rights mandibles, effectively sparing himself from a bite from the creatures.
Alfie, it is Reggie's turn.

Reggie
Current HP: 1 of 1 Current AC: 13
Torn between his master's cry of pain and Aunna's, Reggie resolves to stay and help Aunna given how good a hold the spider got her. Digging deep to find courage, Reggie winds up and swings wildly at the spider. Keeping his eyes closed the whole time.

Initiative:Reggie,Mikey,Xynon,PhaseSpider1,Alfie,PhaseSpider3,Aunna,PhaseSpider4,PhaseSpider2 Feeling at a loss more for Aunna than his own summoner, Reggie clings onto Aunna's shoulder with his feet before turning his gaze away from the monstrosity of a spider that just appeared. With a moment of mild bravery, Reggie swings out at the spider, but completely fails to land his paw onto the creature, now hoping he isn't the intended target for another attack.
Mikey, it is your turn.

Mikey glances around as he is assaulted by spiders, "By Gonds Anvil, is everone alright?" His gauntlets then smash together as his eyes close and he focuses on his forge hammer.
"Become forge!"
Familiar orange embers begin to swarm around Mikey and theough the enemy spiders..

Within a second, the air around Mikey warms up as spirals of embers swirl through the air as if drifting from an unfelt wind.

With the sudden appearance of the spiders and being surrounded Xynon slams his fists together causing his atstral arms to appear as they slam down against each of the spiders and the follows up by beginning to shadow box deciding to assist Aunna by attempting to land a couple blows against the spider attacking her.
