[Petals & Thrones] Session 8: A Time to Stomp

 Session VIII

Our party continues their trek deeper into the spiders' nest. We are without Parth this session due to RL conflict. Ribbles, due to his deep gnome heritage, is proving to be by far the stealthiest person in the party (essentially never goes below a 22 with the Stealth check). All of their hirelings are kept in the back, using them as reserve forces for when they enter a larger room. As before, Aquilan's high AC and Morluck's strong attacks keep the smaller encounters from being a threat. They're mildly paranoid, but in a joking way, of the the occasional trapdoor spider due to their surprise attacks.

The second large room they come upon reveals to them the elf corpse's notes necessary for messing with pheromones, and they stop for a time to make a couple doses of self-destruct, which they end up forgetting about and only use one on a spitting spider in the final egg room. 

They are low-key surprised to find the skeleton of a brass dragon in this room, along with its hoard. Morluck negotiates with the Vlatla Clan for additional reward in exchange for the elf corpse's notes on pheromones, managing to get Ribbles access to one of the thrall's spellbook to copy from.

We end the session at this point, skipping the return trip to Ramshorn due to the late hour. Tune in next time for when they do that and attend the Occult Conference.
