Scribe Notes - Vol. 3: An Unfit Adventurer

If you haven't already done so, be sure to read the previous posts in the Scribe Notes series for the complete back story!

Vexing sounds in the forest... or a lack of noise, really. Webs. Thicker as we go. We heard a scream in the woods. Ava found its source - a large hold in the ground, covered in webs. Trym scouted ahead... loudly, and led us to a cavern full of bodies and spiders. Odd humanoid spiders. Grotesque creatures! Something about the close quarters or unfavorable surroundings made it hard to get out effective spells. Ava took quite a beating from these arachnid monstrosities. But all was not for naught, for we found quite a horde in that hole. Trinkets, coin, and magical items. A pouch most curious. Seems to be bigger on the inside.

Ettercaps, the creatures are called. Spider shepherds. We pulled a live human from the webs. Thaelin is what he can do to heal the poor lad.

The boy's name is Taman Starag. He took quite a beating. Risked his life to be an adventurer. His whole party was killed chasing the treasure that horde. We gave him a share of the gold and my long sword. He was exceptionally grateful, and told us to look him up in Neverwinter so he could repay us. I hope he makes it home in one piece.
