Rorin swings his hammer, smashing it into the eyes of the spider that clung to the wall. The Dwarf heard a crunch of its carapace and then the thing fell off the wall, balling up in death.

As the first wave of the beasts start to attack, Grimbeorn is ready to take them on and defend his companion.

  Grimbeorn is in Defensive stance, using the action Protect Companion.

Well done, that man.

  I get flashes of the Jerusalem scene in World War Z, mobs and mobs crushing each other to the point where the fortification is breached.

So, Arbogast hits with his new axe with a Great Success.

Assuming 1 handed, he does 11 END loss...

I guess I should pipe up and point out that the Cleaving ability shouldn't give me extra damage on the same opponent I just hit - it's meant to hurt a nearby enemy as well as the one I attacked (so, 7 damage to one, 4 to another).  I'm happy to have another spider retroactively thrown at me, if you'd like.  I kind of assumed we'd be outnumbered from the get-go, and there aren't enough of us to form a shield wall that would limit attackers to one each. 

Also, I'm going to shift into Defensive stance next round.  Ow. 

 
I wish Buliwyf were with us.

It is a small matter.

lo, there do I see my father...

LO there do I see my mother, my sisters, and my brother...

Bandy saw the many facet eyes of the spider glaring at him with hate. The Halfling knew that his companions were behind him facing opponents of their own. He drew forth another arrow for his bow, took a bead on the spider and sent it flying through the window he defended towards his target.

Round 1 Attack:
TARGETED ATTACK
(Remove 2 success dies from attack roll; if attack hits it deals damage as per normal rules and the attack is an automatic piercing strike independent of roll on Feat die)


or

  Even with the Open Stance TN a point of Hope wont hit.

The Hobbit felt the hate of the creature before him and his arrow went wide.

"Enough with being fancy Bandobras, just send the arrows," said the Hobbit to himself.

Hmmm... that was not the desired attribute I wanted to bestow on the Axe - meaning the additional Valour damage is done to another attacker. I wanted it to apply to a singular enemy, but it is okay. It makes the axe unique. We'll leave things as they are and yes I will retro in another spider that you wallop.

Tom - I am moving your missed bow attack to round 2. You already attacked in round 1, though you posted it as Opening volleys. I had posted previously that this engagement would not get opening   volleys. Cool?

Lastly, I need to roll for Bofri, who attacks a spider as he stands next to you all on the second floor...
