Murg strikes back:
Rolls a 8 + 9 = AS 17.
"By Almor's hairy arse!"

Spider-King attacks Murg and Redric. Attack Strength 13...

Redric readies himself to strike. It's now or never... (Roll of 4 + Skill 9 = AS 13.)
You CANNOT be serious...

Murg attacks again!
Roll 7 + 9 = 16 Hit?
If so, Test for Luck: roll 6. Lucky!

== Round Twelve ==
The web is proving to be deadlier than the heroes could have ever imagined, sapping their life force moment by moment. Talbion, Jack, Throma and Prex lose 1 stamina. The Spider-King makes a desperate lunge at Redric, who parries the blow, but at that moment the monster catches Murg in his periphery, leaping towards him. He sees a flash of silver before Murg's axe drives deep into his ugly, arachnoid head, delivering a critical hit, inflicting 4 stamina damage! The King's giant body spasms uncontrollably, and then it rolls on its back, legs curled up. The Spider-King is defeated.
== End of Combat ==
*Note: those still trapped in the web are still trapped! You can roll as many rounds as you want, or one at a time if you want help. Freed characters can attempt to Test Skill to help a character out of the webbing though.

Talbion's muffled voice can just about be heard through the strands of webbing
"Nice going but, um, any help here would be hot!"

Redric stares at the Spider-King's corpse and mutters sadly, "Not one hit! Not one!" Then, turning to his comrades, he says, "I shall soon free you. But first let me recover my strength, lest I should be caught in the web again." With that, he sits down to eat his last portion of Provisions.
(If Redric is also allowed to assist someone this round, he tries to free Throma and rolls 11, making him unsuccessful.)

Is it possible to just wait here until help arrives? If so I'll just get comfortable for the time being.

Murg: "BY GURRANG'S VICIOUS CLAWS, VICTORY AGAINST THE CURSED SPIDER KING!"
I will try and help people out of the web, starting with those who are the most wounded (who can then help other people out of the web).
Skill checks:
Roll 1: 5 Skillful!
Roll 2: 5 Skillful!
Then I will search the room, starting with the Spider King's throne. Skill check: 3 Skillful!

As round count still has an impact on the trapped adventurers, i'll keep it going. == Round Thirteen == Redric eats one of his provisions, restoring 4 stamina. Murg frees Prex from the web. The rest of the characters are still trapped. == Round Fourteen == Redric attempts to free one of his friends, but stumbles. He needs to successfully Test his Luck to avoid becoming trapped once again in the webbing! Murg is able to free Talbion from the web. There are a couple of adventurers that are still trapped in the web and need to roll for this round. Prex may take a retroactive action for this round too if desired. == Round Fifteen == Murg searches the throne and finds a small, well-crafted box hidden underneath. Opening it, he finds 18 Gold Pieces and a note. The note reads (for Murg): The Treasure Room door can only be opened with a spell, a spell which is guarded by a Hellhound. Talbion is free to act this round, as is Prex and possibly Redric. The remaining adventurers will need to roll the dice to escape the webbing as usual. |

"Thanks, Murg". I brush off some webs still clinging on to me.
Round 14: I chow down on some provisions.
Provisions -1, St +4
Round 15: Attempt to free the lowest St adventurer.
Rolled 8, successful

Round 14: (7) –> 2
Round 15: (10) –> 12 !!!
*Suddenly the base of some webbing gives way and a head thumps against the ground. Like a giant insect emerging from a cocoon - except uglier - Jack sloughs off his sticky prison and crawls out. He glances ruefully over to the box of gold but makes no motion or comment towards it, merely kicking peevishly at the spider-king's remains.*
Jack's next move will be to eat his remaining provision if there's time.

If people are still trapped I will free them. Rolls: 6. Skillful.
Otherwise I will wave the note about: "Seems to be about the treasure room; we've already looted that!"
I will split the 18gp 7 ways so everyone gets 2gp, and and I will keep the remaining 4gp for bribery and expenses.
