A few important events happened the night of the feast that I will get to later. The importance of those events to the plot hasn't been revealed yet.
The morning after the King arrived from waterdeep, several members of the party were awoken to find out that the king, his son Geoffrey, and several of House Lannister's retainers/guards, had decided to go on a morning hunt. Aldepri was immediately summoned to accomany them, and most of the party members were asked to do so as well.
The house of Lannister I will expand on in furhter posts. Here I will point out that that family rules from Baldur's Gate. The family is allied to the King by virtue of the King's marriage with Cersei Lannister. However, House Winterfell and House Lannister are by no means allies, and in fact are somewhat hostile to each other. Thus, the presense of several Lannister guards, brought by Prince Geoffrey, on the hunt is indeed very disconcerning for the PCs
During the hunt, the party was all assigned to a group with Prince Geoffrey. After a few hours Prince Geoffrey spotted a large stag and began to pursue it with his companions. The party attempted to keep up with him. AFter a long chase, the stag apparenly went into a small cave, with three of his men. The party eventually caught up and senced somethign was wrong. It was unusual for a Stag to enter such a cave. Nevertheless, they felt bound to follow, so they cautiously entered the cave. The cave started with a narrow passage. Aldepri, who entered first, noticed that there was a large mass of spider webbing at the top fo the passage. Aldepri continued, and entered a small (naturally made apparenly) chamber. He noticed a clicking sound, and began to listen more closely. He then saw an second opening of the chamber, from which the noise was coming. Eventually, the noises source appeared, a large hideous creature Aldepri later identified as an Umberhulk, with a large spidery-like creature on it's back, waving some sort of wand in it's mouth. Convinced this creature was beyond the party's powers (Aldepri had some knowledge of such creatures being a drow), he immediately turned around and shouted for everyone to flee. TYhe pary immediate exited the cave, mounted their horses waiting outside, rode a safe distance from the cave, and waited...
