Spiders!

Like a toddler hopped up on candy (Sweets in britland) Azrials last weeks Thunderwave that shook the Ash Zombies in the Smithy caused a little more havoc. As we started todays session we find that the party were in a little trouble. With the explosion from the wizard the Ash Zombies were pushed back but it had a secondary and more unexpected problem. It angered the spiders that Desmond had just recently calmed to allow the party leave without a fight.

The Spiders charge in and attack the party, three Spiders attack the group causing significant damage. As the group attacks the spiders they quickly manage to take out one of the spiders while Desmond causes one of the spiders to fall off the roof of one of the buildings with his fire attack.

When this happens a much larger spider appears through the roof of the building. The Spider Queen leaves the building and attacks Pfenix. This monster attacked the party causing significant damage. One of the spiders inleashed a web attack that trapped a number of the party.

Mean while a stranger who followed the party from Phandelver managed to catch up and reach the outskirts of the town just as the thunderwave explosion took place. This female barbarian warrior took no time in running into the fray towards the explosion. There she saw Azrial escaping the zombies as they left the smithy. With her massive battle axe before she rushes towards the zombies drawing her axe over her head and without even feeling the weight of the blade in her hands she swipes the blade towards the zombie she turns the zombie into two half zombies as she bifurcates the monster into two. She then draws her axe back once again and slices the second zombie from shoulder all the way through to the other waste. As the axe swipes through the ash zombie it continues until the axe embeds itself into a tree.

As the Queen spider attacks it calls for its mate, another large spider reveals itself and leaps and lands next to the queen. It then the pair spiders attack the party it takes some and Pfenix almost dies as the party manage at long last to kill all the spiders.

The group decides to continue to explore the rest of the town. Azrial like a puppy runs into the nearest building and starts searching. The rest of the party break up to continue the search. Kal and Astrid head to the north and find a building that has been locked for a significant amount of time.

Desmond, Victor and their new friend that they learn is named Vadania search another of the buildings.

Azrial and Pfenix find that the next building they explore is closed, after a quick look they find that it is occupied by a group of armored warriors. These Dragon Cultists have recently arrived to serve the young green dragon. Azrial calls the rest of the party and the cultists look a little shocked that 8 members of the party arrive and surround the cultists.

Kal talks to them for a few minutes and informs them that the Dragon, Vanomfang has left the area and that they should leave as well. Looking worried the cultist leader tells the rest of the party that they will leave. As the party head back north to the building that was locked up. The party manages to pick the lock and get into the building, they find some supplies.

As everyone heads to the last building they find another bundle of ten twig blights, The party manages to dispatch them quickly as they decide that they would head towards Neverwinter now as they have swepted through the town it’s time to move onto the next adventure.
