The enormous spider emitted an alien, keening shriek as Rose's guisarme edge bit deep, ruining a number of its many faceted eyes. The wound sprayed black-green ichor, which floated away through the ethereal plane. Despite its girth and many legs, the sweep-about of the guisarme knocked several out from under it; however, on the thereal plane, its legs simply flew up and waved about alongside the bulbous body.<br/><br/>Aria, still material, raced 'through' the ghostly-to-her body of the spider, to outflank it with Rose, from whence she turned about and activated her own ring and began phasing between the planes.<br/><br/>The spider, nevertheless, seemed more vengeful towards Rose. It crawled closer through the ether, snapping at her with chitinous mandibles, the tips of which gleamed and spurted droplets of venom at the moment of the bite.<br/><br/>The momentarily-stunned spider now made its own descent, but only just enough to reach out with its head and snap at Rose as well.<br/><br/><br/>Rose hits for 22<br/><br/>Almost didn't think of it, then wondered if creatures in a no gravity environment can be tripped. Another corner case with a Rules of the Game mention, it turned out (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/rg/20060321a (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/rg/20060321a)) - apparently they declare tripping requries gravity (although I could 'conceptualize' it either way) also declare oozes can't be tripped after all.<br/><br/>Aria: move to east side of east spider, activate ring of blinking.<br/><br/>East spider: 5' towards Rose,<br/>atk 37<br/>Since they, while ethereal, can see-but-not-strike material creatures, they have 20%  miss from a target's Blink, which with Rose's other effects is three 20%s; doesn't go into 100 so I'll roll 3 d100s.<br/>Result: 59, 80, 96,<br/>So it doesn't miss (from miss chance).<br/>dmg 18 + poison<br/>Poison: initial dmg 8 Dex, secondary dmg 1 Dex, each Fort DC 24 to negate. (Initial damage is after the hit, if it connects and deals HP damage, secondary damage would be 1 minute later; the two Fort saves are independent of the success of the other.)<br/><br/>West spider:<br/>5' down, attacks Rose (from the edge of its own reach, 15') - it's now 15' above the level of the trilithon<br/>atk 35<br/>Result: 99, 55, 20,<br/>So it misses due to whichever of her effects 'goes third'.
