[QUOTE="Shieldhaven, post: 1867814, member: 23427"] Our escape from death was not this time quite so narrow, though we were still in remarkable danger. We spoke with Dean Harrison about our failure in the Undercity and discussed the necessary political maneuvering that would give us another shot at recovering the axe. He eventually mentioned that the son of the maid of a cousin of a relevant person had gone missing in the forest not far outside of Sharn, and rescuing this child might put the right people in our debt to have certain powerful divinations performed. We got a description of the boy, which I included above. Gerron – that’s the proper name of the d’Tharashk man I mentioned in the previous entry – found the boy’s tracks. We followed them, noting that eventually a creature called an ettercap followed the boy, who did not seem alarmed by the prospect of an ettercap. As I have encountered one of these creatures since then, I can say with confidence that such beasts are indeed highly alarming. The tracks led us to a glade deep within the forest, where we saw several bodies wrapped in webs like burial shrouds. Monstrously huge spiders emerged from hiding and attacked Fel when he attempted to free one of them. We fought several of these spiders, some of which were nearly human-sized, as well as the ettercap. I used several more charges from my wand; I need to either plan to buy a new wand, or expand my magical capacity remarkably. Or both. At least this time I did not waste my most powerful spells on insignificant targets. I am still having major problems with the accuracy of my Scorching Ray. Since I was busy attacking with my wand, I did not use many of my other prepared spells, except for my standard magical defenses. We were eventually victorious, though not without difficulty, and discovered a few gems – including, fortuitously, a pearl of the necessary quality – among the ettercap’s gathered belongings. Fel cut the people out of their webs. They were all still alive, amazingly. We got the three people back to the city, taking two to the House Jorasco healers and Kelvin directly to Dean Harrison. Some questions that remain: Why did Kelvin remain calm while the ettercap followed him? Did this ettercap have a heretofore-unknown capacity for mind control? Was the boy delirious? Is the Dean being entirely honest? What possible reason would he have not to be so? Will the Dean’s intended chain of favors work out properly? [/QUOTE]
