Quid occurrit

Grignok smells something to the south by south east, with his whiskers feeling the motion. He thinks the smell is a spider. So he quickly moves towards the smell and motion, and sees the outline of a spider coming around the corner. He growls, which baffles everyone, but they all think he's growling for a reason, and turn toward the spider. Tonfa Guy moves back and draws his tonfa, and Augustus steps and casts Haste 2 on Tonfa Guy. Felcanis casts Sunbolt 3d.

The spider crawls into the room, and now everyone can see it. Grignok pounces at the spider, but lands without hitting it. Tonfa Guy moves through the webbing. The spider tries to bite Grignok but misses. Augustus steps and pulls out his broadsword but gets stuck in the web, while Felcanis aims at the spider.

Grignok jumps over the spider and turns around. Tonfa Guy moves towards spider. The spider turns towards Grignok and again tries to bite him, again missing. Felcanis steps and the webbing sticks to her, but she still tries to throw her Sunbolt anyways, missing. Grignok tries to claw the spider's face but misses as well, and Tonfa Guy moves toward the side, still getting near the spider slowly.

Augustus tries to cut his way out of the webbing but can't get a good hack. The spider bites Grignok and Grignok claws it right back. Felcanis casts Sunbolt 3d again, while Tonfa Guy keeps moving towards the spider. Augustus casts Might 2 on Tonfa Guy.

The spider bites Grignok again, and this time Grignok cannot land a blow back. Felcanis lobs her Sunbolt and misses the spider as well as Grignok and Tonfa Guy. Tonfa Guy glares over his shoulder at Felcanis before stepping into a web, which sticks lightly to him, but doesn't stop him from whacking the spider over the head, knocking it out. Grignok then rends the spider to death.

Felcanis casts Major Healing on Grignok after Augustus fails, bringing the smell of rotting flesh with his failure. Then they go through the nest, burning any eggs they find, and looting any bodies in the sacs. They not only get a lot of money—2,000 copper farthings—but Felcanis finds a magic bronze brazier.

They leave the nest, getting the thanks of the village of Bóllā. Felcanis and Augustus each pay Dénnos 100 copper out of their share, and Felcanis takes the brazier to the wizard Praidīvós and pays for the identification out of her share once in town. Praidīvós finds the brazier can grab specified items within 5 miles of it that weigh 10 lbs. or less if you speak the item loudly and put a rock in the pot within a half-hour of sundown.

Dénnos goes back to being a sage. Felcanis goes to work in the Temple of Saundīvós, and casts Bless 2 on Augustus, Grignok, and Tonfa Guy. She says she can renew the spell for a donation of 50 copper if needed. 

Res aliae

As a memorial to our late friend John, Felcanis gets a nice retirement, offering them Blesses.
