Lair of the Spider Queen
Prelude
Now what do you say Kradel?
I still think they're ringers.
How can you say that when the one guy died?
Well, maybe he wasn't part of their team. I don't know. I just think they're too good to be amateurs.
What are you going to do about it?
It's not what I'm going to do, it's what she's going to do...
You don't mean...
Exactly
Phewwww!I've made a fortune wagering on them. Too bad about the oriental guy, but I like the new guy better anyhow...
Tale of the Tavern Version 1
"Spiders"
"Lotza spiders"
"billions of red eyed chittering spiders, big spiders, small spiders, spider goblins, spider men, spider witches."
"feh"
"We go in and almost immediately get into a fight with some chubby spider guy and some big spiders we chop em up real good and dumped the burning bodies down some pit to set other webs on fire. We searched some rooms and fought some 4 armed goblins that fought with either two swords or two bows, lots more attacks, but just as easy to kill... We crossed over a crevasse on stone bridge and spotted a goblin following us, Drago took after it and almost fell down a pit when he hit the goblin's grease spell, and Drago fell for quite a bit as his prized Ring of Free Action TM managed to keep him from being trapped in any of the webs that might have broken his fall. We hit a few more rooms and ran into some weird looking spider guys that fought with 3 swords, but they wasn't much of a problem, we cleared a few rooms then crossed the crevasse again on a lower bridge. Halfway across a bout a zillion of these spider guys popped up and started throwing javelins at us from 3 different spots, Bran and Drago stopped in the middle of the bridge and started shooting back while the rest followed me across to cover, next thing your know Drago and Bran got about 30 javelins coming at them and a lightning bolt while the rest of us are shooting back from cover. We killed one group then every bunched up at the end of the bridge while I stepped out to check what happened to the other two groups who had been throwing stuff, just in time for the other ones to show up at the base of the bridge and hit everybody else with another lightning bolt."
"We finished them off quick and started checking out the lower level, we quickly found the cells for sacrifices, including a Drow elf."
"Every one but the new guy decided to leave the Drow in the cell, Elf boy because he thought the drow was evil, me because we already had a token elf, and Drago because he thought the Drow was safer in his cell then wandering around the delve while hostiles were out."
"But the new guy insisted that the drow must go free and proceeded to start bashing the door down, we tried to argue with him, but he didn't even have a reason to do so, he just wanted the drow out of the cell. Since its bad manners to try to kill members of your group, nobody wanted to even bitch smack the twit, but even when we told him we would kill the drow the moment the twit finished bashing the cell door open, the twit still insisted that the drow should go free, Drago was now convinced that the Drow must have charmed twit boy, when the drow started promising information if we let him out. Since some one had finally come up with a good reason to let him out, we did. The information was pretty use less, it told us when the boss monster was, in the room we were planning to check out after searching the bottom level, and that the boss monster could do a ritual to summon more monsters, like we wouldn't stop a ritual on general principals"
"We finished off the bottom lair, the drow faked a injury in the first fight and snuck off, then headed back up. We ran into the last of the spider men and a Witch-spidertaur thingy that got zapped pretty good with some javelins of lightning we found. We dropped down the hole at the bottom of the entrance and killed another Spidertaur in the middle of a ceremony."
"WE got a nice haul of cash and prizes, although Elf boy got the best prize and then greedily snatched up some magic arrows as well. But I think the Twit is gonna be put on probation till he can explain his behavior."
