Something nastier.  A huge monstrous blue scaled hunting spider! [1/2 Blue Dragon]They charge into it.  Mostly from anger of finding Hardfist’s body but also to defeat it before it can prepare for them.  A powerful Acidic [fire] ball blows up on top of the creature.  Even as it shrieks in pain and agony Charger crashes into it.  Arrows pin its eyes.  More magic slams into it and it quickly goes down.They pick up several large expensive gems here along with more money….. the ½ dragon spider’s hoard.Diana spots a hidden narrow passage at the far end of the cavern.  “Look what I found.”</blockquote>
