[OoC1: My plans to post this morning were derailed by Valentines Day. At this point I'm not sure why I bother posting when I plan to update because something invariably happens to screw up those plans.

[OoC2: Please forgive my mistake. But in my defense you said (as quoted above), "directly underneath where the dog IS barking." Not, "directly underneath where the dog is barking AT." The dog IS barking behind Selina. But he is barking AT the ceiling around 30' away from him or about 25' from Betimi. At the time, due to the dust, Betimi could only see 20'. Anyways, now I know what you're mean...]
Initiatives:
24 = Jonath
22 = Tomeal
18 = Unreth
19 = Unfriendly Kobolds (???)
17 = Selina
13 = Betimi
12 = Friendly Kobolds (2)
09 = Good Kobolds
08 = Forge
06 = Gilley
02 = Dog
[OoC: There were a couple of errors made at the beginning of this encounter like there being no light so it would be pointless for Nacesh to stumble toward the creature in the dark. So let me set things up a little more clearly...]
While most of you who heard the dog barking at something in the darkness were readying themselves for whatever was to come, Betimi moves closer. Moving in the direction of the dog's barking, Betimi slowly creeps north over the rubble from the collapsed ceiling. She scarcely moves five feet when to her horror the darkness peels back to reveal the huge spider-like creature clinging upside down to the ceiling. At that moment, as a deep chuckle resonates through the cave, the torch light flames up, blinding everyone for a split second. Your eyes adjust quickly and are drawn to what Betimi gazing at. Clinging to the ceiling with four spindly legs, you spot a huge spider-like creature. It's face, a horrific mixture of arachnid and humanoid. With several black bulbous eyes dotting it's forehead and a huge, gaping oversized maw of jagged teeth. A long scorpion like tail curls over its back while greenish venom drips to the rocks below. The tail, quivering with anticipation, poised to strike at anything that dared to draw too close.
[OoC: I will allow Betimi to throw a crystal before initiative and Forge to make his spellcraft check and accept the torch. Nacesh may alter his action to do either a move action OR a standard action. I'm not considering anyone flatfooted because you all were alerted by the dog that something was close. Anyone with Spellcraft may attempt to identify the spell Unreth cast as a Free Action (DC 16).]
Private to Forge:
[OoC: To recap: Betimi needs to roll her crystal attack. Nacesh needs to complete his standard or move action. Gilley's action was lighting the torch. Forge's action was to accept the torch and spellcraft (because identifying a spell takes no time.) Tomeal's action was to ready his crossbow. Selina's action is was to ready her crossbow. Jonath doesn't seem to have any range attacks so even though he could see the creature he can't do much other then ready his weapons.]
If everyone is cool with that... Start! ]
