((I don't know how scientifically accurate these spiders are going to be. I imagine that Samuel could force phantom water to magically stick in they tracheae/book lungs, though if he can't these spiders may be frustrating to deal with.))

[Loki987]

((Well if you throw spiders in water they drown so...))

[AkumaKasai]

((Yeah, spiders drown just like people when surrounded by water. However, the difference is that humans have internal flesh-sack type lungs that can fill up with water, which means we can "dry-drown". Spiders have either a different type of lung or external tracheae, depending on the species, so I don't know if they could have their breathing apparatuses filled with water, and therefore, if they could "dry-drown" like a mammal can.))

[Loki987]

((Well, that's not really the point of the spell, I just wanted to "drown" an enemy whitout having to drop them in water also it's magic. I mean if it was a fish okay. Also if the water fills it longs or it's windpipe or it's whatever the air travels through, the water blocks the air from reaching the organ which suffocates it. I would think.))

[AkumaKasai]

((I agree that it should work on the spiders. I was just thinking about hypotheticals which shouldn't really matter.))

[Egan_BW]

((Yeah, it will probably work on spiders, but if you were fighting insects you would have a problem.))

[AkumaKasai]

((IIRC most insects have tracheae, as do most spiders. However, the ones we're fighting might have some sort of alternative form of respiration, since tracheae work poorly for spiders the size of dogs, if you don't have a really high oxygen environment, and these bastards are probably some variety of magical abomination. We should dissect some if we have any viable specimens, and Ozarck doesn't kill us all for asking too many questions.))

((Maybe they work like amohibians with modified exoskeleton to have breathing holes...I beleive they are called aeriolas.))

[AkumaKasai]

((Amphibians breathe mostly through normal lungs, or through their skin. I don't know what you're thinking of, but the areola is part of the eye/nipple.))

((...wow I must be more tired then I thought... and yah that's what I was saying, breathing through their skin...look, I'm a programmer not a biologist, that would be my mom))

"Argile, hoslit arnanium corssweav jole!"
Summon a godsdamn demon.

couldn't find the gibberish, so no special points for references or dark magicks. Still, let's see what yo get. Oh. You get something hungry. The smell of sulfur appears briefly, and something begins growing through the portal. The sulfur smell dissipates and is replaced by the smell of ... lilacs? Vines and leaves grow throughout the room you are in. As they contact the spiders they lash out, wrapping around them, and drawing them toward the center. Soon, you are in a room full of writhing, pulsing flower demon. And it is still growing.  Toward the walls. Through the door. To the ceiling. Toward you.

Killing time STAB EVERY SPIDER

You sever a few more limbs, and the spiders fail to get at you. but you make little progress. You hear a disconcerting Caw! echo up the stairs.

((Is my biting/clawing specialization currently applicable, or does generic smashing not count?))
Claw/bite any spiders that come to close to my claws/mouth. If any spiders get too close to me,roll on them and crush them with my half-ton+ of weight.

biting and clawing are natural weapons, and you are using those, right? it applies. You slash and tear, rolling and snarling. You crush a few of the bigger ones and stand, just as one particularly large specimen latches onto your neck, stinging deeply. You feel venom enter your system, and you crush that unfortunate spider against the roof, moments before a flowering vine snatched it out of your grasp, along with several others. Dozens of spiders are fleeing the underground, completely ignoring you.

I'll use another spell. I'll call this one "Spontaneous Drownage". This one lets the enemies' lungs (or other breathing organs) fill up with water, cough up the water and drown. I'll use this on as many spiders as I can but I'll definitely target the spider that's attached to my arm.

the one on your arm writhes, lets go, and falls to the ground, coughing water up. After a few moments, the volume of water it coughs up is larger than it is. it's legs continue to twitch, but you have other things to worry about. The spell did not reach as far as you'd hoped, but at least you got that one.

spaz was thinking of spiracles.

Seeing the spiders fleeing pass the bear Korvash gets out of the way of the fleeing stabbing them as they run past before heading down to the bear and checking on him

[Loki987]

((Uhm How far is Corvo (and his demon) in relation to my character? Can I see the demon?))

[Ozarck]

((Uhm How far is Corvo (and his demon) in relation to my character? Can I see the demon?))

you cannot. you are upstairs. Corvo is downstairs in a different room. you cannot even see the bear at the bottom of the stairs, since you are back from tehm and the other guy is in between you.
