Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mistwell" data-source="post: 6305010" data-attributes="member: 2525">Session 4August 15, 2013Venturing further into the caverns, you passed another set of spikes set in the cavern floor, presumably the other end of the carrion crawler lair.Beyond those spikes, you discovered some spider webs, coating from ceiling to floor the entire passageway.  Using some torches you found on entering the dungeon a couple days ago, you burned these as you continued onward.Suddenly, Bear was struck by webbing shot from somewhere to the darkened north! This of course marks the third time in a row Bear has found himself frozen (first turned to stone, then paralyzed, and now restrained by webbing), so he didn't look surprised at all to find himself unable to move once again.The party moved in and attacked what turned out to be a giant spider lurking on the ceiling.  It took a bite out of Bear, but otherwise went down fairly quickly.On burning away more web, you found a couple of semi-mummified corpses, wrapped in copious amounts of web.  Cutting away the wrappings, you discovered the bodies had some rotted weaponry, and a few pouches of coinage, which you pocketed to count later.Moving further north through the webbed passageways, you were again surprised by what this time turned out to be not one, but two additional giant spiders.  One was a giant brown sucker, and the other an even more terrifying black one.Bear got another bite taken out of him, but the party managed to take down the black spider, as the brown one fled from your slings and arrows.Coming across a rail track that led from east to west, which appeared to be a mining path of some sort, you found yet more giant spiders.  The two new ones, which were eventually joined by the wounded prior spider that had fled, ganged up on Bear once again.  Wounding him graciously, Bear withdrew as Luther and Milo filled the gap in the battle lines.  Arrows, slings, and spells flew north as the spiders attacked back with their deadly mandibles.  Finally, Milo's thunderwave spell seemed to take the fight out of the creatures, blowing their webbing back, slaying one and heavily wounding the other.  The remainder of the spiders died quickly thereafter to the clean-up sling shots and arrows of Luther, Slink, and Hollin.The battle won, the party continued to clear out the webbed caverns, and discovered more semi-mummified to the east and west, with one batch somewhat wealthier than the other.Returning to the rail tracks, you peered to the west and found the tracks carried on into the distance, while to the east you found an abandoned empty mining cart.  Then suddenly Bear spotted a Kobold in hiding to the east.  Sly dog that Bear is, he played it cool, not giving away that he had spotted the Kobold, and informed the party quietly of his discovery.The group quickly conceived a plan involving a bluffed vacating of the area and heading south.  The Kobold did not take the bait, so the bluff was further reinforced with mentions of abandoned food.  Finding the Kobold was determined to not follow, you eventually opted for the more straightforward approach.  Luther led the way, as the party charged in to the east, past the mining cart and into a further chamber......Only to find a room full of creatures!There stood the Kobold on guard, backed by two shadowy flying creatures to the south that appeared to somewhat have the shape of Kobolds, but also seeded to be made of shadowy somewhat insubstantial material.  To the east there stood a shamanic-like Kobold, and behind him, up on a pedestal, glared a Spinned Devil, rather similar to the one you fought earlier, down to the golden trident grasped in his claw.[Out of Character, we discussed adopting the new playtest packet rules, properly leveling everyone up to second level, and Max making his own character some time this next week.  For the next three sessions Jason is likely out, and otherwise Max, Noah, and John are in for next session.  Treasure for this session, and the prior one, will be listed early next week, I hope].[ATTACH]61810[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
