Session 8

·      Outside the spiders next, our heroes rested in preparation for their incursion. When ready, they advanced carefully into the save and saw bound-up bodies flanking the cave walls – all male.

·      They fought a number of giant spiders and ettercaps, and saw in the caves off from the main ones more and more bound-up males. After Sebastian slapped one for a laugh, and they freed the others who were bound, they noticed a Drider sleeping deeper in the cave.

·      After debating for a long time whether it’s kinder to kill the rest of the people tied up in the save, they snuck deeper in and prepared to fight. Lurtz burned the web to start a trap, burning the drider, waking her up and starting the fight.

·      She phased out, and reappeared closer to the party – and all fought. It was a bloody combat, with the party almost deciding to retreat, but in the end Lurtz buried an agonising blast into her spider tits, exploding her body everywhere.

·      The team rejoiced in their victory, and headed back to the Rare Lady before things deeper in the cave come forth. In exchange for the poison spider glands, Otrodin is now allowing the party to drink of the foreseeable future.

·      Grzegorz tried valiantly to get into the wizard’s college, but his efforts were in vein, while the rest of the party bribed their way into Champion’s Halls as Lurtz did not have a Champion’s Pin.

·      They all met back up in a room with a very serious disposition, with very thick tension. They sat down next to: Grugz, a large half-orc; Jack, a lithe human; a gnome who’s name they didn’t get and who Grzegorz pissed off; and Gorthaur, a human who set himself up by investing in the Xiltryms, helping set up the defensive structures in Moarkaliff, and who Grzegorz asked about his BMI.

·      Then, on stage at the front of the room, Opius Rolar delivered grave news to the hall; the Hell Mouth, at Iron Vale, is going to open. Last time it was an apocalypse event, narrowly averted, and there is a few weeks at most to tie up some loose ends before the battle.

·      Grzegorz shouts ‘yay’, and the party saves their own lives by calling him demon spawn. He was beaten down ruthlessly, but stabilised by Sebastian, before being dragged away by guards.

·      Opius Rolar then rounded up by saying that from tomorrow, teams will begin being sent out tomorrow – and to speak to them with any questions/ for a duty.

·      Our heroes are now in the hall, and the news is sinking in.
