Sagishi takes aim
at the seething mass of arachnids and lets fire with a crossbow bolt. He is wildly successful in the seemingly improbable task of taking out an overwhelming majority of the crawling creatures with a projectile weapon, leaving only a few confused spiders left moving erratically on the stone floor. Or, you know, he shoots the Shining Guard. The Shining Guard isn't slowing down, though.
Fhiess manages to somehow slip away from the creatures and puts some distance between himself and the spiders while Thosar lays down a wave of fire upon them, watching them skitter and burn before winking out one by one.
The spiders immediately behind the Shining Guard seem to be taking their cue from the armored zombie, and they swarm forth toward the room containing the trio of heroes. As Galen rolls away, they surge forth and crawl up his legs, but their mandibles aren't anywhere near strong enough to penetrate his clothing and armor.
The Shining Guard, however, is still a threat. It staggers forward as spiders continue to crawl about the exterior of its armor, raising its longsword above its head before swinging at Galen in a pair of deadly strokes. The door makes combat awkward, though, so the first of its swings glances off the jamb, but it carries through on its momentum to thrust the sword through the door frame, taking aim at Galen's midsection.
Meanwhile, Ludwig attempts to rebuff his enemies with a showing of his holy symbol and denunciation of their efforts, but to little effect.
Because they're spiders.
They're spiders, and they're eating his face.
