STAGE FOUR
Haha so much fun! but play time is over.
Hiking up and through the mountains is difficult, @aussieninja who is so much fitter then everyone else races to the top and finds a cave. He decides to have a nap and wait for everyone. As the party arrives, so does the bad weather so you all make a choice to make for the cover of the cave.
Once inside the cave you quickly discover... you are not alone
This crazy horse sized bug is hungry and he seems to be looking in your direction
He has an attack power of 5 (You must score a hit of 5 or more to win this Stage).
Special field info for this Stage (check for your class): This bug seems to likes the taste of people who stop in here for shelter. A classic misunderstood beast to destroy for the war like adventurer
Warrior: Player has no change

Tim Ross sees this as a wonderful opportunity to make a new friend out of this wonderfully large creature of nature! The Paint Wizard Boss feels the more legs the merrier, really!

!ibtluckydip
Tim Ross holds item 4: Grub! +2 to players hit!
Tim Ross the Paint Wizard Boss digs in his satchel to grab a nice snack of whole grain granola. Noticing how grumpy and hungry his new spider friend is... he offers to share. Appreciating the manifold eyes of his new friend Tim Ross imparts some wisdom...

Realizing that this spider is not very personable and has no regard for the Joy of Painting, granola, or the beauty everywhere around us... the Boss starts to see this isn't best friend material.
With this giant critter more focused on the base things of life like... hunger and violence, the Paint Wizard understands his friendship even more now!
I don't like killing animals, even bugz...but it's IBT and not real so time to exterminate!

!onearrow
You quickly draw an arrow and shoot:

Holy Cow! This time it actually flew straight and you pierce the enemey for a hit of 5 points!
Dareth stumbles off, not realising if he even hit the target.
Eeeek, the Archer is terrified of spiders! He drops his gear, screams and runs out of the cave. Sighing, the Milkmaid shoulders the c crossbow and takes aim...
!onearrow
You quickly draw an arrow and shoot:

Holy Cow! This time it actually flew straight and you pierce the enemey for a hit of 5 points!
The show sails true and there was no need to tie an ignot to it! Which was lucky as the archer appears to have run off with it...

!warriorslash
You draw your sword and perform a powerful overhead swing:

Fortunately you make contact and do significant damage with a hit of 8 points.
Serra distracts the spider by flying just out of reach while Bear Delivers a mighty axe blow to the spiders head. With two mighty warriors working together it is an easy victory ☺️

Medivh holds item 1: Ingot! +1 to players hit!
!mysticblast
You tune in deeply to your inner chackras and summon a lightening attack

The lightening is out of control and hits some innocient civillians that happen to be walking by. A mob of peasants gathers around and shoves that naughty wand up your A..And you are a dead magician now. You loose a life, Harry.
Angel Food and the giant bug look at each other an begin to grow hungry. The bug imagines it's large venomous orifice penetrating the soft doughy skin of Angel Food.

Angel Food wishes he had more powdered sugar. He pulls out a grub, sprinkles powdered sugar on it, and then easts it. The giant spider pauses and starts pacing from left to right. Like a kung fu movie, Angel Food smiles, nods his head, and they attack each other.
!ibtluckydip
Angel Food holds item 4: Grub! +2 to players hit!
!mysticblast
You summon up your inner energy and produce a lightening:

You barely maintain control of the powerful blast, but clip the enemy for a large hit of 8 points. Nice!
Win Angel Food 8+2 (grub) hits for 10 total.
Angel Food’s clumsy blast removes half of the spiders legs and part of it’s thorax. The bug falls to ground with a 1950’s horror flick screeching sound. Angel Food is quickly on top of it like a hungry cat. He tears into the giant spider with his little donut mouth. Angel Food’s comrades are confused again. He turns to them with a face covered in bug guts and says, “This is going to take a while.”
Stage 4 result validated. 3 life points banked (current total 9), 3 flawless victories. Level 1 achieved.
I think it's time to enlist hummingbird's help again. Spiders don't have pockets, but she's spotted something in the crevices of its leg joints!
!openpockets
Look at that! Obtained item 5: Grub! +2 to players hit!

Eww! I think it has lice! This could be weakening it and work in my favour.

You quickly draw an arrow and shoot:

the string breaks (oops!) as the arrow is released it bounces off a nearby rock harmlessly. Gobbo happened to be walking by at the time and wets himself in laughter, seeing your low skill he attacks. @gobbo
Gobbo makes his best attack.

He laughs like a jerk.
The sneaky git hits for a 6.
Awww, its so cute... I'm going to experiment with some new spells and see how this bug explodes.

Your fireball ignites and you manage to guide it to the target, the enemy puts it out, but it managed a hit of 2 points. Meh, looks like you need to get the good old spell book from the library and work on those skills.

But, being the practical gal that Winifred is, she decides to make use of the spider first so patiently collects enough webbing to sell on the black market to wannabe Spidermen at the next Comic-Con Convention.
Once she has done this, the fight is on ...
creepy
Thank you for noticing, mwhahahahaha.
!warriorstab
You draw and jab with your sword:

Wow! It almost looked like you knew what you were doing lol, suprised the enemy is damaged with a hit of 5 points.
sweeeeeeeeeet! squeaked through, but a victory nonetheless!
It appears that Winifred may have the gift of the gab because after her financial windfall at Comic-Con she appears to have started a trend.
she was sent this photograph from some fans ....
Lol! nice pic - swift work with this stage :)
