Stonehell: Spellspiders

Session 119 was played on 1/19

Borumar, ½ Orc Thief 7 (Josh)
Joho, Mystic 5 (Chris)
Brother Dimetri Andropov, Cleric 3 (Jeff)

While putzing about town, and debating returning to the smoking dungeon, word spreads that Kallo and Drolo recruited their own hirelings and returned to the dungeon, recovering the bandit’s hidden treasure.

Brother Dimetri, before heading off with the rest of the party, heads to the market and hires on Thurg the dwarf at arms, Maxx the Man at Arms, Grubb the linkman, and Marduke the fighter. Most everyone gets some extra equipment, and then the party heads into the dungeon via the Hobgoblin caves. Circling around, they make their way down into the hothouse.

Taking a westward passage, they encounter a hall full of webs, and giant spiders… but not just any giant spiders, spellcasting spiders! Grubb and Dimetri collapse asleep as the first spider emerges, a second spider tries to charm Borumar, but the half orc resists, and then magic missiles shoot out from a third spider.

Thus begins a running battle that goes back and forth and lasts almost the entire session. After slaying the spiders, and looting their weird nests, the party, badly wounded, makes it back to town.

Gains: 3 potions, a ring, and some gold
Kills: spellspiders
Losses: NONE!

  1. No PC losses and the battle lasted most of the session... unless your playing 4e with healing surges, how is that possible?

    1. My terrible dice rolls. And about 4 or 5 healing potions.
