Expedition 57c - Koko's Account

August 8, 2024

We descended to the depths along a narrow winding tunnel to discover a pair of caves, our thief transformed into a feline and scouted ahead, they appeared to contain the magical web we sought, and so we advanced and set about extracting it, I started to wrap one on the ground as our thief used a potion to climb and wrap another.

Using the arcane sword I flew to start wrapping a larger web as the thief did the same, but our dwarven ally called for assistance as a spindly figure emerged from the other cavern, our cleric cast burning oil, and I swooped down to assist and in striking it dead but took a bite to my arm.

Two more arachnids appeared, one burned to another clerical flask as our thief stabbed it from his invisible elven-cloaked perch, the other was dispatched quickly by my sword.

Alas the pain in my arm was great, I requested our dwarf retrieve the polearm from my retainer and they swiftly severed the lower part, the blood stemmed by the dwarf's magical shield, so now I join my cleric comrade in his unidexterous endeavours to spread the word of Mar Nod.

I returned to wrapping the mystical webbing with my remaining hand and ignoring the pain, our thief continued but his potion failed and the webbing was destroyed.

We moved to another part of the caverns to retrieve more webbing, thankfully we were undisturbed and decided we had gathered enough to make our way back and attempt to resuscitate our fallen comrades.
