Session 68: Of Moths and Spiders

Fortune's Vanguard faced off against a group of strange giant moths with centipede-like faces and tentacled maws. Strange droning moth noises left half the group confused, and Ripley decked Xael and pistol whipped herself in the face as a result. Xael and Cleis Frostclaw were paralyzed and nearly absconded with, but thankfully were freed and the moths slain. The party discussed what to do next, with several members wanting to continue forward on foot and Xael proposing the party return to The Discovery and follow the shoreline.

During watch in Woodsworth Moure's Sylvan Hideaway Cleis was assaulted by a strange goopy thing that snuck in while a gathering swarm of undead vermin was dealt with. The creature attempted to pull him into the floor but was thankfully saved by the group's less sound sleeping members. The rest of the night went uneventfully to the party's relief. As they continued further westward an even greater threat was encountered. A colossal spider climbed overhead, shaking the trees as it slowly stalked its hunting grounds from above.

For 10 minutes Fortune's Vanguard waiting in silence, terrified of the great beast as it disappeared into the snow and fog. Later that night as they rested within the hideaway, they were awoken as the entire space began to rumble and tilt! The tree the hideaway was concealed within began to fall, and as it did the extra-dimensional space twisted 45° and the group found themselves crashing to the wall (some more gracefully than others) that was now the floor. Shaken, the party resolved to continue their rest and find out what happened in the morning.
