tl;dr[edit | edit source]

All the adventuring teams in Erin's inn enter Liscor's Dungeon through various entrances. Griffon Hunt awakens a extremely large nest of Shield Spiders.

Synopsis[edit | edit source]

In the aftermath of the bar brawl, Relc takes a report from Erin. As the instigator of the brawl, Ilvriss will have to pay for damages.

The various teams meet up at Erin’s inn before venturing into the dungeon. Griffon Hunt and Halfseekers choose the main entrance, The Pride of Kelia and Gemhammer the rift, and Horns and Silver Swords the third, unaccounted for secret entrance, at Skinner’s tomb.

The latter two show two distinct styles of exploration, the Swords are more brash and confident than the careful and pragmatic Horns. Falene relies too much on her magic, Ylawes is overly confident, and Dawil yells loud and eager to proceed, so much so that the Horns immediately worry about having been already discovered by his actions.

The Silver-ranked adventurers enter through the rift and are immediately ambushed by Raskghar and cave goblins. The Raskghar repeatedly need to call for reinforcement. During the fierce fight the two teams get a measure of their foe, and the mute adventurer joining them shifts the balance in their favour. Until a properly armoured Raskghar and another with an invisible bow enter the fray, shooting at the adventurers with arrows that pass through armour.

Griffon Hunt passes through more trapped rooms, confident but careful, and reaches a point where they would usually have stopped at. With the previous accusations of cowardice in mind, they move on and find another room. Triggering the trap removes the floor, showing a deep nest of Shield Spiders, ranging from regular to house-sized and beyond.
