Round 5: -3 Round 6: -10 Round 7: -6 Round 8: -12 Is that -4 stamina? Going by the letter of the rules, it appears that you would only lose 1 stamina point when you dropped below zero i.e. in round 4. I read it as daredevil suggested. |

Murg steadies his axe and swings it at the Spider King!
Round 5: Roll 11 + 9 = 20
Round 6: Roll 9 + 9 = 18
Round 7: Roll 3 + 9 = 12
Any of these rounds Murg wins, he will Test his Luck to do more damage:
Round 5: Roll 6 Lucky! Luck = 8
Round 6: Roll 5 Lucky! Luck = 7
Round 7: Roll 9 Unlucky! Luck = 6

I've already determined my struggles as far as round 8, so I'll wait for others to catch up before going any further.

[O.O.C.]Are you returning to take Civil back from schlendrian John? If so, think we all agreed that was OK. CC's taking some damage right now though.[/O.O.C.] No that would be mean at this late stage. After this combat I will try and do something nice if the GM will allow it.(Do not worry as it is a nice trivial thing). I think this is the last meaningful encounter as far as I can tell. |

== Round Five ==
Murg is still fighting the Spider-King solo, but this does not appear to be a problem as his axe connects with another of the monster's legs, this time severing it with a lucky strike, inflicting 4 stamina damage to the Spider-King! The rest of the party struggle within the web, but to no avail.
== Round Six ==
Spider-King Skill 10 Stamina 10 Attacks 2
Spider-King attacks Murg. Attack Strength 19.
With one of the arachnid's legs now twitching on the ground, Murg decides to continue to go for the legs with his axe. He takes a swipe, but the Spider-King is ready for him, and one of its powerful forelegs smacks Murg straight in the chest, sending him to the stone floor and inflicting 2 stamina damage.
Prex, Jack and Talbion have exhausted themselves in their efforts to escape the web, each losing 1 Stamina due to fatigue.
== Round Seven ==
Spider-King Skill 10 Stamina 10 Attacks 2
Spider-King attacks Murg. Attack Strength 14.
The Spider-King clumsily presses its attack on Murg, attempting to stomp on him whilst he is prone. Its foreleg slams down on Murg's upper left leg, pinning him, but the arachnid is forced to pull away to avoid a counter-strike from the deadly axe. Roaring in pain, Murg manages to roll over and get up again, but has lost 2 stamina from the attack.
After what seems an eternity, Redric's sword slices through part of the web strands that have him trapped, and he carefully slides out of a small opening in the webbing he has created, ready to act. This Spider-King has seen the little worm escape from his trap, and prepares to attack.
== Round Eight ==
Spider-King Skill 10 Stamina 10 Attacks 2.
Spider-King attacks Murg and Redric. Attack Strength 19.
Talbion and Prex are starting to fade, each losing 1 stamina. After round 8 is resolved, we will move back to just one round at a time.

Prex and Talbion are looking very weak, each losing 1 stamina point from the effects of the web.
Redric attempts to parry, but the Spider-King's attacks are relentless, and he loses 2 stamina. The Spider-King also tries to take a bite out of the barbarian, but instead of trying to evade, Murg steps into the attack, moving under the arachnid's bulky frame and delivering a nasty cut to its abdomen, inflicting 2 damage and leaving the Spider-King howling in pain.
== Round Eleven ==
Spider-King Skill 10 Stamina 4 Attacks 2
Spider-King attacks Murg and Redric. Attack Strength 18 (sk's att rolls have been great but managed to deliver zero poison attacks thus far!)
