Brian uses drain field which erects a blue and black vortex about 100 feet in circumference that covers the ground. The drain field takes three luminarium leaving him at one.
Freds rose whip thorn wheel cuts through two of the six spiders in half vertically there guts spilling onto the ground. The power of the drain field restores one luminarium to Fred. The use of thorn wheel takes two luminarium, leaving his total at one luminarium.
Quinn opens up with his SAW laying down fire and brings down another by putting lots of holes through its face causing it to somehow explode in a dying cry!
Black Carves yet another spider in two horizontally its guts flying up into the air all around. This causes the drain field to restore one luminarium to Black.
Ray coats the webbing in sand making it much safer to move around, it also has the side effect of bringing his luminarium down to one.
Mario scrambles out of the truck slowly due to his arachnophobia, he seems to wait behind everyone and does not get close enough to attack.
Joes low initiative goes behind all the creatures.
One giant spider attempts to stab black with a sharp leg but its leg bounces off blacks chest pathetically.
The other spider tries to bite black in the arm at the same time but its fangs do not even go through blacks clothing.
The drider sorcerer creates a large cone of bright colors. Black, Quinn, Fred, Ray, and Brian are dazed taking penalties to any attacks, saves, and armor. Joe is stunned loosing the turn he would have gotten after the drider. Hector is knocked unconscious. Mario falls into a mild seizure.
The drider cleric seems to curse Fred lowering all his attributes (aside from luminarium) by four.
Your turns again.

I want to grab the hilt of my sword and see if it will allow me to read the Driders thoughts and react or warn others of the attacks

"You nasty little buggers, all these webs you weave, it will get you nowhere,for in the end, from your body your blood I will cleave!"
Joseph, roaring in bloodcurdling excitement, Will charge down upon the driders, both Zentetsukan and the Chainaxe, screeching like a man having his fingers pulled off as it activates. He'll cleave them both, destroying whatever was left of the neck of the drider black attacked with the chainaxe, going on to thrusting zentetsukan where joe thinks the the second drider's heart would be, bracing himself with his other arm.
Back on the land train, crouching with his modified elephant gun beside brian, Hector speaks "eh' Ramera! taste my spice!" as he pumps several rounds into the second Driders legs, trying to destabilize her while joe is busy being stabby stabby.

Fred looks at the cleric and sighs. "You would think creatures that have reverence for Spider, even in the maladjusted form of Lolth, would know when they had ensnared a foe too strong for them. Please leave now before we must shed more blood." He reserves his energy now, targetting the creatures that are attacking Black, attempting to neatly sever off their heads.

Brian, being down to one luminarium, and still near the land train, will quickly check on mario to see if he's covered in tiny spiders or something to cause his collapse, but after the check, if Brian finds that it isn't an outside source that's causing this, and somehow discerns that it is the 'bright color cone' he'll reach into his tuxedo with both hands, flurry the jacket open, exposing his dual M16s. "pretty slick, eh?" then he'll raise both of them and fire both of them at the sorcerer, alternating between the left and the right for accuracies sake. "HAAAA HA HA HA HA HA! TAKE MY BULLETS TAKE THEM ALL! YOU'LL TAKE THEM AND LIKE THEM!" the main idea behind this maneuver, is to defend mario in his moment of defenselessness.

Hardly paying half a thought to the meek attacks upon his person Black will thrust into the nearest of his two assailants and then attempt to rip out through it and swing into the next one.
Wow! to not have even pierced the skin!...Luke Cage hooked a brotha up!

Ray will make some hand signs and send a bunch of Sand Shuriken at all of them.
Then Ill hold action and wait for someone to get hurt then heal them immediately.

Joe is still dazed even after recovering from stun and this causes his chainaxe to miss, zantetsuken strikes but is deflected by some sort of mystic protection. Hector is unconscious and doesn't get an action joe
The drider shimmer in a golden light and suddenly shrunk in size and begin randomly blinking in and out of existance seemingly. Ray sees with libra that the drider have upon being attacked automatically obtained the buffs mage armor improved, stoneskin, blink, reduce person, and entropic shield.
Freds dazed and cursed statuses make his next attack less than spectacular he does however gash one of the spiders badly, being just enough of a wound to gain one luminarium back from drain field.
Brian's bullets are rendered ineffective against the drider as there magic protections prove far too great to harm them. The two spider near black however are not so lucky and are riddled with bullets taking down the one Fred had struck restoring one luminarium to him.
Sand shuriken flying from ray critical managing to take down the other spider and slightly damage both drider. This restores two luminarium to Ray and one to everyone else.
Blacks chainsword manages to hit one drider and do some damage to the sorcerers left arm, making it drip blood. One luminarium is restored to black as a result.
The swords telepathy allows Quinn to determine that the drider plan on summoning monsters behind the group to get a flanking position, his advanced warning means they are not caught by surprise by these reinforcements.
Both of the drider begin casting and summon a towering wasp and a large praying mantis, each at least 12 feet tall if not bigger. What Rays libra identifies them as is a fiendish giant wasp and a fiendish giant pray mantis.
The summoned creatures are flanking with the drider so the wasp and mantis are nearest to Mario, Brian, Quinn, and Ray. Fred, Joe, and Black are closer to the drider.
The wasp attempts to sting Quinn while the mantis attempts a slash at Ray, both attempts are thwarted by Rays sand defense and Quinns warning of the attack beforehand via telepathy.
Your turns again.

I use my AT field to disrupt the mystic protection of the drider

Joe knows that his AT field would only work on actual barriers not just defensive buffs and thus would not work here.

Fred sighs and says, "Now you've forced my hand, spiderlings." He bellows, releasing a torrent of red energy, demonic power transforming his wooden body into something more savage. His Yoko form stands tall, ready to butcher Driders who did not heed the fair warning.

Joseph shouts at a Drider, as he sheathes the chain axe
"All around you, death's maw shuts... in Khorne's name I'll spill your guts!"
With two hands on zentetsuken, I'll try to slash it in half with a upwards diagonal slash

Black reaches behind him, grabbing a length of chain he has fastened to the side of his pants and launches it in a manner that he hopes will ensnare the sorcerer's right arm.
"Let's see how you deal with this!"
After trapping the arm Black will flash step onto the spinneret part of the drider's body, pulling the trapped arm back with one hand while pressing the chain cleaver into the flesh where neck and shoulder meet with his other hand in an attempt to rip into it more efficiently.

3 luminarium now... very nice
Brian will turn around, pointing his rifles up as he does, then he'll lower the barrels at the wasp. "you act like you got sand up your stinger!" then he'll start firing in the way i fired at the spiders, but with echo for the double hit bonus.

Fred transforms into Yoko.
Joes massive strength tears through the clerics defenses and strikes him for a huge blow to the midsection blood and guts spilling everywhere. This blow gives joe back two luminarium.
Black tears the sorcerers arm and starts to get a cut, but the sorcerer dimension doors out of the attack before much damage can be done.
Brians echoed bullets critically wound the wasp. Drain field restores Brians luminarium by one.
A shotgun blast from Quinn mangles the stinger leaving it worthless and finishing off the wasp. One luminarium is restored to him.
Ray holds action.
As the sorcerer appears out of the dimension door he seems to use a quicken maximized magic missile spell on Fred. It strikes too quick for the sand and hits him for four luminarium. Fred seems to revert from Yoko swamp thing to normal everyday Fred, only with holes in his torso, bleeding to death, and unconscious.
Ray immediately jumps into action and heals Fred. Fred is no longer in threat of death, but he is still unconscious. the heal caused ray to lose one luminarium.
The cleric shouts prayers to his god in an unearthly tongue. His wounds are magically healed.
The Mantis attacks brian with his claws. The first is blocked by rays sand shielding, the second by brians luminarium shield. The shield looses 2 luminarium points.
Your turns again.
OOG: if your already at full luminarium disregard me telling you the drain field gave you more, because you cant get more than the max.

"Bleed!,Bleed!, Bleed for the eater of souls! I shall leave your eyes a pair of lifeless coals!"
"Cast no more wretch!"
I rupture the sorcerer's larynx, using bio manipulation, trying to silence it while causing blood to fill its lungs and asphixiate it.

"Damn it!" Black curses as the sorcerer disappears from beneath him.
And it was working so well too...
Quickly Black looks around and spots the Cleric being healed by its god. An idea striking him as he rushes forward and lashes out from the left with his chain, hoping to ensnare the creature by one of the legs.
He will then push off from the ground as hard as he can, attempting to gain enough height for either a Mario-style drop-down on the drider OR a sort of high jump followed by a downward slash at its neck with his chain cleaver.
Maybe you'll feel like facing me head on when I start beating on your healer! he snickers internally, not at the plan, but how nerdy the plan makes him feel.
Heh heh...aggro steal irl

Brian notices Blacks movements towards the cleric... and also remembers the whole 'destroy the healer, destroy the group' mentality, and Brian is sure that Quinn can take care of the mantis, so he'll leave that to him.
Brian notices the fallen companion of fred, relieved that he's so quickly healed by the proficiency of ray, "How dare you harm my comrades!" Brian screams at the sorcerer, and then uses his earth summon on both the cleric and on the sorcerer. Brian seems to be really enjoying himself, part of this probably being the faith in his personal shield, "HAHAHAHAHAHA! AREN'T YOU TWO LUCKY!?"

The black and blue drain field begins to disperse.
A critical shotgun burst from Quinn blows off the mantis head exploding in an incredibly gory fountain of blood.
Joe tugs psychically and silences the sorcerer. This action reduces Joes luminarium by two.
Black snares the cleric by a leg and stomps down on it hard in the face, blood oozes out of the clerics mouth and she looses a turn.
Brians earth summon heavily damages both the drider.
The sorcerer grabs a pair of daggers and stabs at joe. Joe has reaction to this.
Joes reaction and your new turns.

i assume i'm down to 2 luminarium...
"Good job Quinn, i knew you could do it" Then brian looks back at the two driders, it looks like black has the cleric pretty well defeated and, unless the sorcerer has the silent spell feat going for him, i dont think we have to worry too much about him, but it looks like brian would still like to get in on this. Brian rushes the sorcerer that has attacked joe, and leaps at it, using his grapple skill to try and wrestle it... hoping (at least according to D&D rules) to botch any spell attempt it may have, and hopefully leave it open for joe to crush its head or something, 'cause c'mon, its a sorc, they have terrible hp (in the D&D universe anyway... may be different here in the ITM universe) "Bring it on arachno-bitch!"

I will look around now that I don't see an immediate threat to myself and if I notice that Mario is laying on the ground I will run over an examine him. If I notice that he is having a seizure I will make sure that he doesn't swallow his tongue or choke on vomit or some such thing.
I will also grab the hilt of my sword again and read the thought of everyone including Mario and the Driders.

Black will attempt to wrap a segment of his chain around the clerics neck and attempt what he did previously with the sorcerer. Putting the cleaver to its throat and pressing forward while he pulls the chain and hopefully the cleric into his cleavers razor sharp circulating blades.
"Rip and tear!"

Brians grappling skill allows him to bring the sorcerer down, which Joe takes advantage of to pull his arms off killing the Drider.
As Quinn grips his sword his telepathy does indeed pick up a few things. First is that Mario is in fact having a seizure but its beginning to fade, since it was created by the color spray effect. Second that Black is completely immune to your swords telepathy. Third you can sense that all your other allies are too focused on the combat to be thinking anything coherent. Last Quinn reads that the Drider are sending out mental messages for "full retreat" whatever that means.
Blacks maneuver works exceptionally on the Cleric and its torso gets turn asunder, spilling blood all over the pavement.
Even after such a short battle fatigue sets in, between the necromancer and the drider, everyone is exhausted. Marios seizure fades but you can still see he is in pain after the attack. Fred remains unconscious it will probably be a few minutes before he wakes up.

Brian lets go of the drider he was grappling, heaving in heavy breaths, he rolls off of the carcass and rolls away from any blood that might be pooling so he can lay down and catch his breath. He gives a thumbs up motion to everyone signifying a job well done.

Black decides to stay up-right but relaxes his posture, enemies defeated. He also returns the thumbs up gesture. "Another two down guys" And who knows how many more to go Black thinks to himself. But I look forward to it, as much as anyone can look forward to fighting for their lives. ![::)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/eyesroll.png)
