GAME NOTES
We start to the south, and run into some fresh spider webbing and then 3 Giant Spiders on patrol. Then we see three more. We go back north to explore options, but they all lead to dead ends. We use the Driftglobe to lure 3 of the spiders up a hallway and then lay waste to them. More exploration to the south, then NW.
We discover a group of troglodytes being held as food, they dash out of prison past us drawing a posse of 1 Drow & 3 Quaggoths. We attack them as they attack the Trogs and 3 Giant Spiders join the battle. As we are finishing them off, 3 Drow warriors join the fight from the north but Arin destroys them immediately with a well-placed Shatter.
The Shatter spell collapsed a kitchen wall and we question the fettered goblins & bugbear enslaved there: Blarg, Bootlick, Earstabber and Globby. Blarg tells us we can get to Skullport by going south to the river. We let the goblins escape to the north, but keep Blarg as a swordsman.
We ambush the returning war party: 2 Giant Spiders, 1 Quaggoth and 3 Drow. Leading off with a Lightning Bolt from Jitters and followed up by Spike Growth from Mira. One dies, two get away. Then two more join from the east and 3 grimlocks come up from the south.
The fight gets pretty serious with Ceol almost going down. We manage to kill everyone, but are left wounded, low on spells and with the sense that the town has more defenses.
