Joho begins the session looking for healing potions, and when he can’t find any, looking for drugs. He ends up buying some from an undercover constable, and is brought before the court. It’s explained to him that he must convince a jury that it wasn’t a giant wolf spider (stand in for Joho) that was trying to buy the drugs, but entrapment by the horse (stand in for the cops). Joho, utilizing a new ability, speaks to both the spider and the horse, and convinces them to play along. The horse pushes away from it’s handlers and goes right for the drugs. The spider stays unusually quiet. Joho is found not guilty. The horse goes back to police work, and the spider is sent to the fighting pits.

Grabbing Joho before he can get into any more trouble, the party heads to the dungeon. In through the hobgoblin caves, they head to the west, then down into the hothouse. Exploring a new section they find a peaceful old shrine, but while they’re there, a trio of giant spiders readys an assault. Joho is bitten, and begins to shake and undulate, and Boris is weirdly overcome with the same shaking in spite of not being bitten by the spiders. Even after the spiders are killed, the pair of them continue to twitch. Holing up in the shrine, the party waits it out....

After 2 hours, the shaking stops… but they’re so exhausted that they collapse into a deep sleep.

17 hours later, they finally awake.

Resuming exploring they find an old conference room, untouched by the water and dirt and plants. And within a hollowed leg of the table that dominates the floor, a stash of coins and a potion of treasure finding! They also take the boring landscape from the wall.

Heading out, they’re set upon by 2 giant bees as they reach the second level. The bees are quickly killed, and the party makes it back to town.

Gains: potion of treasure finding, minor coins, large but boring landscape.
Kills: Giant bees, giant spiders
Losses:
