As we rounded the corner, we realized why the door had been blocked. We had found a spider lair. The six small spiders quickly died to a combination of arrows, bolts, axe and sword. We found little of interest in the room and turned back towards the tunnels. We rounded the corner and more hairy shapes scuttled towards us from a room beyond. The spiders we had encountered before where mere babies in comparison with these. Some spiders as large as humans and two where even larger than that. Our fighters formed a line in the narrow passage leading into the room, and though the spiders' where dripping from their mouths with poison none succumbed to it. Heion was eager to try a new spell and fried the spiders with a fireball. At the same time, three ettercaps emerged from a side tunnel, rooting our fighters to their spots with their webs. Swyth and myself formed a new line as our fighters struggled to break free and with Heion at our backs peppering them with spells and arrows we managed to whittle them down. Errol dealt the final blow with a well aimed arrow from his bow. Once the creatures where gone, it was a lot easier to get them loose. The room beyond was the Ettercap lair and we wasted no time in moving beyond the stinking chamber. A small opening at the far side of the room opened up into a cave with several angry monsters ready to attack us. Two Ettercaps and a large hideous monster with fangs scuttled towards us, once more rooting Errol and Darius to their spots. Skaven, a Halfling wizard was also in the room. Heion covered the room in webs and I tried to silence the wizard with a spell as well. Neither proved effective. As the combat ensued, the Ettercaps where dealt with first, then the large beast. The wizard proved troublesome, with lots of powerful protection magic as well as stinging spells. As we cornered him he tried to escape with a potion of Gaseous Form, but as he moved towards the exit a constant hail of fire from bolts and blows of our strong attackers knocked him out. We all felt a bit winded by now and discussed our options. We decided to rest at least a little, but considered how we would go about masking our entry into the alien fortress if we wanted a lengthy period of rest.</blockquote>
