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.
