With so many newcomers this session, it was mainly spent getting to know each other and tentatively exploring Spider Village. Treasure is the main coin with which we measure success.

I'm going to give you a little something for your role-playing and working together. I really liked how some of you were quite imaginative with what you found and your ability to improvise on the spot (Herman the boatman, the metallic substance in the flask, etc.). Keep that up and the RP XP will go up.

Let's hope the cautious exploration, the herbal supplies, the kobold note and killing the spider pays off with a big reward later. What's with all of the spiders and kobolds? And what about the tall palm in the deep cistern?

Hi guys,

A couple of things to note. Role playing XPs are going to be those that you hand out to each other. You can use whatever criteria you wish in giving them out. Who gives what will remain anonymous. Until I say otherwise, you'll have 50 to give out each session no matter how many people show up.

The 'Adventuring' XP are for those activities that earn your PC experience that are not directly tied to treasure or combat. For example, avoiding combat or traps, use of potions and magic items, overcoming puzzles or tricks, etc.

The Delvers managed to get the Spider Queen back to the boat and into the cage to take her back to Redgorge. It wasn't easy keeping her alive.

While hoisting her out of the village well, the group's lack of teamwork, inexperience with lifting so much dead weight and the restless spider caused them to drop her. She plummeted perhaps 60-100' into the water at the bottom of the well. If not for her natural buoyancy, the trussed Queen would surely have drowned.

Alton used his ranger skills to climb down the tall palm and retrieve one of the ropes. He ascended with it and gave it to Cadfan. Cadfan made an incredible effort hauling the spider up to a place where she could be re-secured. Suitably chastened by their previous effort, the Delvers worked better as a team in their second attempt to lift her out of the well. Tenkar provided some comic relief as he slipped during the effort sprawling on the ground.

The next morning, the Delvers managed to avoid conflict with a small group of tribal halflings who are now accompanying the group back into the village on their looting spree.

Overnight, Alton has noticed that his tracking skills have become much better and he feels much more confident as a combatant.

In this session, Cadfan stood firm in his refusal to hand over the Spider Queen to the Halfling tribesmen. The party helped the tribesmen fight off a surprise leopard attack. They learned not only of the ferocity of these wild cats, but also of the durability of the tribesmen.

When the Delvers descended the well, Alton wanted to continue to the bottom where he remembered seeing a shape in the cavern. After much discussion, the party decided to lower a boat into the well to navigate the waters below.

In the process, they re-encountered the tribesmen, who helped them carry a boat to the well. The tribesmen were especially interested in the palm, which they climbed and collected something from it. They left before you discovered what they found.

At the bottom of the well, Alton, Cadfan and Leo showed their ingenuity in using the boat. With the help of lantern light, they were able to determine that the shape in the cavern was wrapped in heavy webbing. the creature had a serpentine body with several pairs of legs and a large head resembling a dragon or crocodile. The decided to let the (possibly) sleeping reptile lie.

Once finished investigating the well, they reascended and looted the Spider Queen's lair and recovered a few bodies. The Delvers took everything back to the boat and pushed off, leaving Fara and the tribesmen behind.

The experience will be modified once the loot has been evaluated/sold.

The Delvers outfitted themselves for the trip to the anvil monastery. They could not find Zorovar and he left no word of his intentions, so the Delvers left town without him. They succeeded in getting a local huntsman, Rhoddam, to lead them to the site. He may have had second thoughts about the wisdom of this expedition....

The Delvers only needed to camp one night in the jungle before they reached their destination. It turned out to be quite eventful. First, a warthog rumbled through the camp and attacked Rhoddam, delivering an ugly wound that left the huntsman unconscious. Alton and Leo learned the ferocity of these beasts and eventually killed it. Alton paid for this knowledge with some nasty wounds of his own. Rhoddam may have wondered (in between consciousness and blacking out) who was keeping the watch. Deakon learned that he is not really comfortable fighting.

Meanwhile, Cadfan and Olli dealt with a pit viper that had been attracted to the smells of the camp. Olli clumsily tried attacking and learned the error of his ways by being bitten. It's a wound he doesn't seem to have recovered from yet as he is still nauseous, dizzy and weak. He comes in and out of consciousness. Thinking quickly, Cadfan used a brand from the campfire to scare off the snake before it did further harm.

While recovering from their late night excitement, they saw something else that may have been a threat. Once again, the Delvers learned that caution and quick thinking could help them avoid deadly fights instead of wading in needlessly. When they saw that a herd of warthogs were approaching camp, the Delvers quickly created a defensive trench and stoked their fires to ward off the beasts. It worked. The whole time, a group of tribesmen had climbed a nearby tree and watched calmly. Alton's attempt to make friendly contact with the tribesmen was neither accepted or rebuffed and the tribesmen continued on their way.

Alton's efforts once again earned him the most respect of his colleagues followed by Leo, Tenkar and Cadfan. Perhaps Olli's early brush with death at the hands of a snake has made them wonder how experienced the naturalist really is.

The Delvers reached the monastery ruins early the next morning, but not all of them were ready to go exploring. Rhoddam agreed to accompany Cadfan and Leo on a scouting mission. Leo managed to spot an entrance to the lower level of the ruins and Cadfan's keen sight kept the group from walking into some rather large spiderwebs. Nevertheless, Cadfan tried to burn the webs and attracted the attention of a large number of spiders. Learning not too attack such a large group without fire or numbers, the scouts backed away and the spiders let them go.

The entrance to the lower level of the monastery had been cleared of the rubble that had choked the way down. Some beast seemed to have moved the stones to get to the depths. The scouting party decided not descend into the darkness in such few numbers.

While exploring the rest of the upper level ruins, the party was set upon by a prowling jaguar. Leo was attacked and knocked prone, but Cadfan managed to beat the jaguar back before the cat could finish him off the rogue. Nevertheless, Leo demonstrated his lack of experience by hastily leaping into the fray. The jaguar taught Leo how fragile he is with several lines of claw marks across the chest. Staggering backwards, Leo tended to his wounds and let the fighter do his job.

While Cadfan proceeded to deliver heavy blows, Rhoddam slowly got himself into good bow distance and managed to hit the jaguar. Badly bloodied, the jaguar retreated. Cadfan managed to hit it with his spear from 20 feet and Rhoddam shot it with the killing arrow. Deciding that was enough scouting for one morning, the three returned to camp with their kill.

With Alton and Tenkar feeling better after minor bouts of the 'jungle jitters', the Delvers explored the depths beneath the monastery's ruins. Alton's investigations determined that something large and lizardy appears to be making this site a lair. Nevertheless, the intrepids entered the dark descent. The chronicle of this tale can be told by others elsewhere....

Once again, the Delvers managed to pull victory (and Tenkar) literally from the jaws of defeat-- in this case, a giant lizard. With a young jungle halfling in their number, our intrepids ventured a second time into the ruins beneath the monastery. Following a trail of coins that looked suspiciously like a trap, they found its end-- a giant lizard lair. While the brave adventurers debated whether to slay the beast in its sleep, it woke up and was pleased to find tasty treats so conveniently placed for its dining pleasure.

The shock of the sight of such a monster up close and personal momentarily caused many of the Delvers to forget how to use their weapons properly. Leo managed to keep his head (and his distance) and fired off arrow after arrow with incredible accuracy. Perhaps it was his steadiness that allowed Cadfan to recover his wits. Tenkar was no match for the lizard and was quickly trapped in its jaws. In vain, the dwarf tried to free himself, but the lizard had a taste for the metallic flesh. Alton sprinted from the room and the new halfling, Nabeene showed her hunting inexpertise with the javelin.

Surrounded, yet with a tasty morsel to savor, the lizard made for the exit. Nabeene was slow to react and was trampled in the process. Leo was quicker and decided to give chase with a net. Cadfan also charged after the beast. As the lizard made for the exit and with Tenkar almost out of life, Alton placed himself in the middle of the hallway blocking the lizard's escape. The monster used Alton as a speed bump, but in the process exposed its underbelly to the little ball of halfling fury. Alton's well-placed gash caused the beast to decide that the dwarf was not worth the pain. It dropped Tenkar and fled.

The Delvers found that Nabeene had miraculously survived the attack as did Tenkar. They discovered that the stash of coins had probably come from the saddlebags of some poor creature the lizard had found in the jungle. Why it was transporting so much coin and where, they never considered. In any event, they spent much of the rest of the day hauling out their booty.

They managed to follow the lizard's blood trail into the jungle, where they cornered it and slew it at a distance.

Feeling like they had accomplished what they set out to do, they returned to Redgorge to raise some roofs and get the stench of lizard out of their beards. It's on to the Umeshti Crater next and Alex and Red's trail....

The Delvers spent the session outfitting themselves for the long overland journey from Redgorge to the Umeshti Crater. After buying some horses and mules and hiring a mule driver (Clarence) they began their expedition into the jungles. Various minor occurrences happened during the first 2 weeks before they reached a strange statue of a birdman who called himself Kukuro.

Kukuro pleaded for help, which Alton and Leo agreed to provide. Tenkar, perhaps feeling a bit paternal for Alton, went along with the plan and Cadfan was forced to follow against his better judgment.

A mask, and egg and a cave were involved. The journey into the labyrinthine cavern began and the adventurers have taken a rest to decide what to do next.
