#29 #29 The Spider's Dilemma
The Hook
Can the players find and destroy the vampire?
Prelude
At the Tavern
Dragan: Did you say spiders?
Ropp: Yes. Lots of them.
Dragan: I know a cave you might want to look at; lots of spiders.
Summary
Following Dragan's advice, the group headed out of town quickly to see if they could track down the vampire. They entered the cave and soon found themselves working through a maze of webs until they emerged into a large cavern where there were a half-dozen spiders the size of horses.
Arric cast a blade barrier to keep them at bay while the others launched ranged attacks. It didn't work as well as they'd hoped as the spiders appeared to be getting directions from a more intelligent creature. They took to the ceiling and were able to drop onto the group from above. Sadly, that wasn't a great idea for them as BAMF, Ropp, and Bornon made fairly short work of them.
They continued their journey and encountered a drider which appeared to be directing the other spiders. Before they could engage it, it was engulfed in a ball of fire and died. The attack had been launched by a man sitting on a throne.
They moved closer and discovered he was the vampire they were chasing. He explained that he had been forced to attack the town against his will. He had killed the drider as a show of good faith. After some negotiation, he told the group about the Cult in Yellow, a group that posed a threat to the town and perhaps the world. In return, the group agreed not to attack him and that he would leave town never to return.
He was true to his word and showed them where to go to find the cultists. They fought some strange undead as they wend deeper into the earth. They found an altar to the forgotten god Lucern. The altar healed the wounded BAMF. They continued to explore the area killing a few more monsters but never really finding any of the promised cultists.
