[QUOTE="Carlo-One, post: 7857487, member: 7015827"] After taking what things of value were on the pirates' corpses, the group carefully explored the remainder of the cave. On the opposite side of the tunnel complex, large webs were found blocking their way, but were quickly shredded. Upon entering the chamber beyond, the group was rushed by two blood-red giant spiders. Veran and Jokull were bitten, but the spiders were dispatched relatively quickly. Brok-Tul then used some salves on Veran to ameliorate the effects of the spider venom. Although one of the spider bodies was hacked up beyond recognition, the other was relatively intact and Rahnee identified it as a Bloodback spider, which was wanted by her brother Madrigal. Rahnee, simultaneously happy with her find and cursing the need to bring back the whole spider, accepted Jokull's offer of a large cloak, tying it with a rope around the spider's body and hauling it behind her as they exited the cave. Back at the tower, Rahnee proposed checking the ship, then resting in the tower for the night. As the water was too deep to wade out to the ship while armored, she divested herself of her leathers and swam out, a dagger between her teeth, followed by Veran. Shivering as they climbed onto the deck, they checked the hold and found it empty. Once back on shore, Rahnee cursed the freezing water and wrapped herself in Brok-Tul's spare robe, teeth chattering. The companions discussed their sailing experience, which amounted to very little, making the idea of sailing the ship back somewhat problematic. Deciding to call it a night, the group re-entered the tower, started a fire on its first level using a broken table for kindling, and spent more time examining and sharing out the loot taken from the pirates' cave. Rahnee agreed to take first watch as the others prepared to sleep. Aerikoth's raven familiar, Zeluth, took up station on some broken furniture next to the fire. After two hours of keeping watch with nothing but the crackling fire and whistling wind for company, Rahnee woke Jokull to take the next shift. Jokull spent his allotted time softly pacing the chamber, sword drawn and alert to any possible disturbance, before rousing Veran. Veran in turn woke Brok-Tul two hours later, informing him that there had been a noise outside the door, but in the end it appeared to be nothing but the sound of waves against the shore. Brok-Tul rose and briefly checked outside, finding nothing. A short while after Veran went to sleep, Brok-Tul gently wakened Aerikoth, who had wanted to rise early in order to study his spells. The others roused themselves at dawn, slowly getting up from the hard stone floor. Once outside, they saw the sky on Nightal 14 was darkened with snow clouds, keeping visibility limited out to sea. The group resumed their debate from the previous day on what to do with the ship. Rahnee and Jokull were for attempting to sail it to Westgate, while Aerikoth logically pointed out that none of them had the capability of sailing such a vessel.
