Neera is going to hide behind everyone and if she even thinks there's a spider then it's Nahal's Reckless Dweomer+Magic Missile to their spidery face! Unless it happens to look like a really adorable spider. Then it can live.
OOC: Didn't see Aeries question until it got to be way too late
"Ah, yes, oh omnipresent righteousness figure," Jaheira sarcastically sang. "Risk the harmless pet rather than yourself." She felt she had pegged him. Ajantis was a paladin, through and through, while Anomen was a self absorbed, bona fide fraud. "How inspiring and courageous of you."
The hamster? Oh no. Too small, druid, and I don't think our big friend here would part from it. YOU on the other hand can just polymorph into some skittery creature at will and charge forward. Perhaps a wolf, or even a bear.
But if you are not courageous enough for the task and unwilling to support this group in anyway, just forget I mentioned anything.
DM sez: And Anomen is even larger! Just the thing for a tasty spider snack! Look at how full of vim and vinegar he is! Spiders love to suck the juices out of things! Why, he might even poison it in the process!
Suggesting Boo as a Spider Snack is not likely to make Minsc happy...
The idea that she'd done nothing to aid the party was amusing in a "what the hell is wrong with Anomen?" kind of way. In any rate, it didn't justify a response. If she were to become a bear, she might be forced to crush him and toss him to the spiders, but that was a bit much.
The first few things Alora finds is a Giant rat, reduced to bones. The second thing is a long bone like a leg bone, but there are two dark channels at the top and bottom, just before the knobby bits. It's not a human bone, though. Then, as Alora cuts into the third lump, something moves in the webs.
It's a spider. A Giant Spider. And we aren't talking about dinner plate size, either. Larger. Much, much larger. Like, Volkswagen Bug sized.
If the spider is far enough away Alora will make a run for it. If the spider is already on her, Alora will thrust her sword into its guts, killing it in a single blow (possibly).
Alora turns to run, but the spider moves fast. She feels its pincers slice into her back from behind, for 6 damage. Immediately, she starts to feel sick. As in "Yack yourself" kind of sick. She begins to projectile vomit the contents of her stomach, which alerts the rest of the party to her predicament. Then, her feet go out from under her, and she rolls into the corner, still retching, each convulsion wracking her entire body.
(OOC: I've been back. I've just been REALLY busy. -_- Work gave me poopy long hours immediately after I got back from camping, and I've been exhausted the past few days.

Alora draws her short sword and goes forward to start cutting through the webs to make sure no one is caught inside.

The rest of the party wins initiative. Actions?
Not wanting to harm Alora, Neera will move in behind Ajantis and use the reach of her quarter staff to try and beat the the spider away!
"Taste my axe's steel!" Arkanis attacks the giant spider.
*If it is in sight I cast Doom on it*
Alora says: "Bleurgh, heugh, baaaaarrrrfffff!!!"
Aerie flings a sling stone at the spider. Amazingly enough, she deals it a solid blow (4 points damage).
Jaheira, action? @reedmilfam...
Also, YAY I hit it!)
