Plot Synopsis

Party meets new members and goes to bed. In the morning, they eat breakfast at Bai An's inn and are later joined by a tired Chang Fen. Fen informs the party that one of the cultists killed another, before trying and failing to kill himself. There was a glow after the death, and a spider pendant the dead cultist wore walked off. The cultists work for someone known as "the Furen". After dealing with the party's antics, Z'rissi shows him out. The party is shortly kicked out of the inn for the day by An, as Ace and Quin threatened her and her child while the rest of the party spoke of interrogation tactics loud enough for her youngest son to hear. The party interrogated the third cultist, Zedong, who had returned from being treated at an Isis temple. Mostly through fear spells, they learn that the cult's base is located in the sewer, marked by spider silk. They then leave the tied up and traumatized Zedong along after Ace places a cactus in his lap. Moments after shutting the door, the party hears the clicking sound and returns to find that Zedong had freed himself with the cactus and was trying to kill himself, which the party stopped by knocking him out and taking his clothes and magic spider pendant. They were kicked out shortly afterwards by the guard.

Entering the sewers, the party spends several hours searching until they find a wall of spidersilk blocking the tunnel. After accidentally sending the spider pendant through the gaps and intentionally lighting it on fire to no effect, the party blows up the wall next to the silk and gets through it, barely avoiding collapsing the tunnel. Heading deeper into the base, they find 2 dog-sized spiders on the ceiling and proceed to battle, successfully taking them out.
