Plot Synopsis
"Party" argues at the entrance of the spider cult lair in the sewers while Beretta, Hex, and Quin decide to return to the main town to better prepare themselves for the fight ahead. Vladisk arrives at the inn to join the job posting, and NPC awakens from his rest to rejoin the party. The party ends up meeting each other at the local blacksmith, who buys some old weapons from Hex and agrees to work on a small lead-lined box for Quin. The party then travels to the alchemist, who sells some health potions, dissolving materials, alchemist fires, and empty bottles. Vladisk, meanwhile, buys 2 rabbits and eats them raw, earning a warning from the local guards for public indecency. Afterwards, the whole party heads to the general store, where Beretta buys a new outfit while Hex gets more animals for Vladisk to try to avoid the same situation. Meanwhile, NPC and Beretta visit Kong Ru, and upon realizing that she does not want to buy anything, Beretta leaves through the window. After a misfire from Hex's gun, Vladisk decides it's a good idea to eat a freshly dead cat in public, and gets arrested. The party manage to convince Chang Fen to bail her out in exchange for docking her pay. They then return to the inn to sleep and eat.
The next day, the party heads to the entrance of the lair and fights a lone spider who was trying to repair the wall of silk that was destroyed. Despite NPC's gun breaking, they quickly kill it, with Vladisk claiming its blood and mandibles as trophies. Vladisk, drawing some of her own blood, manages to make a gap wide enough for the party to get through. They notice signs of a scuffle as well as the lack of the rest of the party, and are soon caught in a poison trap, leaving Hex, Beretta, and Quin paralyzed. Four fully mechanical spiders arrive to fight off the party or take those paralyzed deeper into the lair across the ceiling. While fighting, Vladisk gets KO'd and dragged along the ceiling, while Beretta turns into a bear to escape the grasp of the poison in addition to the spider. Frantically, NPC and Beretta (now humanoid) use gunshots and EMPs to take down the spiders carrying Hex and Quin, then use a C4 and healing to free Vladisk, causing a decent sized hole in the ceiling. Deciding they were lucky enough to survive, the party returned to the inn to regroup.
