(Sure :) )

As Si'Nat starts rummaging among the shelves, a giant spider, about 5' long and gray-stone colored, drops from the ceiling and strikes at him. Fortunately, its bite fails to penetrate his armor. As you watch, its skin starts to change color slightly to match the brown in the wooden shelves.

Gaining the initiative, it turns and scuttles towards Cugel, but he deftly dodges its leap at his head.

Sword still drawn from when he entered the room *he keeps his sword out at all times unless he has just cleaned it or says otherwise*, he attacks the spider.

"YIKES! A big bug!" :eek:

With a startled hop Rondo joins the fray and attacks the thing with his axe...:)

**Extremely glad I didn't go first.... it probably would have killed me....**

Patrick draws daggers and throws them at the vermin...

Patrick cautiously looks up, to see if there's more of these "hidden" spiders who seem to blend in well with the surroundings...

**Is it still blended in when it's dead? is there any way to "skin" it if it is? ** :D

(startled at the happenings around him and glad it is now over... Si'Nat composes himself and carries on...)

"Dang, that was a close one... thanks Karnage... and uh.. armor... now - back to these books and scrolls..."

It didn't really change color all that much after moving away from the shelves, but it did start to look more "gray-ish", to match the stone floor.

Patrick doesn't see any more of the "hidden" spiders above. (No, you can't really skin it :) )

Si'Nat, you estimate it will take a full 3 turns to search through all the books and scrolls. Still wanna do it?

Karnage just grunts and searches the room for more dangers... and possible treasures as well.

(yep... I'll still begin searching... it'll give the others a chance to rest... even more...)

During the second turn, Karnage and Si'Nat don't find anything yet, but you hear approaching footsteps and talking from outside the east door.

Karnage simply readies Beleg-Drauganca and prepares for a fight at the door.

**I apologize for not mentioning it sooner, but I'll also scan with Si'Nat... if that cuts down the time...**

**As far as the threat by the door, I'll ready a dagger to throw and back off from the door to one of the sides...**

(footsteps or not, I'll finish the second turn letting the others ready at the door... I'll then finish the third turn searching... If anything is found it gets thrown into the bp, and as the fourth turn begins, I'm readying the bow and a footstep killing arrow...)

"Must.... finish.... searching... hmmm... now what's over here...)

(You're not going to get to finish searching and fight... once an encounter starts, we switch to rounds of 10 secs... a turn is 10 minutes. So you're gonna have to decide whether to keep searching while the rest of the party deals with the encounter or help out...)

Those at the door hear a gravelly human voice speak in Common "All right then, let's see what's in here". The door opens and you see a small crowd of humans dressed in leather and carrying shields. They look very surprised to see you...

So if they're surprised we have initiative right?...
