"It might be assumed, since you do not have access to the same methods of travel as I do, that you came here through a doorway?" Inatai spoke up, looking at the rest of the party. "It might then be further assumed that you killed anything that might oppose you along the path from here to the door? Leaving a safe path out?"

"Time is pretty relative when you can't see the stars, but I've slept twice since I've seen Kartenix, and three or four times since they held me with Mirtala. I'd say a little over a day, and more than two. As for me, I may be old, but I'm not as helpless as you might think. That blade she's discarding over there might be a bit large, but I've wielded larger in my lifetime. Using that I could defend myself well enough, and you'll need me to point out these relics."

"True enough." Norian turns to where Karan is, and announces  "Karan, if you would give the gentleman your old sword, we need to hurry a bit and go further in, see if we can find someone else." He looked at Inatai "Yes, we've cleared a path. I don't know if it's still clear, but we'll find out when we head outside to camp for the night. Doing it in here has been deemed a little too risky."

- "Well I don't think we can just have him go to the city alone - even assuming there are no goblin marauders outside of the dungeon, he could run into some monsters like we did on the way here. On the other hand if we escort every person back as soon as we find them, the others will have to wait considerably longer." - Graven turned his head to Sertanian - "In the end I guess this depends much on your condition and will. If you're in state to do so, and are willing to risk it, we could push a bit further - with you staying away from the combat of course - to see if we can find one or two more people, and pull out when just before we'd need to rest before venturing further anyway. If not, then we'll escort you back to town right now."

"Well, as much as I would like to slay some goblins myself, I think I'm a bit old for it. But I can certainly hold my own if I need to. Let's go find some more of the townsfolk, shall we?" Sertanian grunted cordially and walked over to Karan. "If you don't mind, I'd like to borrow your old weapon. If you're anything like me, it takes awhile to get used to a new weapon, and you still long for the old one for awhile. I could hold on to it for you in case you decide you'd like to change your mind."

Graven nodded - "Please keep close to Norian, hopefully that should be the safest spot. Well, we have an unexplored corridor here, let's see what's around the corner... literally."

Karan turned to the old man, giving him something that might have passed as a pretty warm smile. She reached to the place where she stashed her old fullblade and passed it to Sertanin, bowing slightly.

'Thank you for your suggestion, I would be forever thankful should you keep it stored for a while... Maybe, one day, I'll be able to enchant it and fight with it once more she spoke. 'But for now, have it. It's a good weapon, should defend you well.'

Walking around the corner, you're greeted to a flight of steps. There's still no light source besides Karan's sunrod and Adis' spell, so you proceed with a bit of caution. At the top of the stairs, things get interesting. The landing you walk out onto appears a bit dirty...sticky in fact. Oh, wait, those are spiderwebs. In front of you, a lump of dirt rises up and presents itself to be an ettercap. With a squint you notice two more. Shouting Sertanian to watch the stairs, you press forward.

Encounter: Spiderweb Landing

The ettercaps could hear and see you coming, so they get a bit of a drop on you. The two closest lurch forward and strike. Karan's armor absorbs a blow, but Graven finds a hefty chuck bitten into him by a greataxe.

You try your best not to look at their faces, as a mass of pincers and feelers seem to twitch angrily at you.

"Ah. Glorious. A nest of traps and trickery," Inatai commented as he drew his sword and stepped forward. "Mind the snares... no telling what else lurks around here," he warned, as he called up the shadows of surrounding creatures to strike out against one of the Ettercaps, though it looks like the blade only sliced some webbing instead...

The Webspinner shoots off a bursting sack of sticky goo, which explodes all over Karan, Inatai, Norian, and one of the Fang Guards. Inatai and Karan gets stuck in the goo, but Norian and the Guard escape its effects.

It scuttles away after firing a websack at Graven, which Graven narrowly evades.

- "Threat assessment - high. - rune on Graven's head flared as he brought down his blade on the head of ettercap before him, and then again as the creature was reeling from the first blow. As his body delivered the punishment, his mind worked in unison with it - using the psionic energies to mend the wound, put down layers of protection and finally grasp the minds of the creatures before him and making them acknowledge the warforged as a threat.

    "Be careful. These Ettercaps are known to keep 'pets' "
  Taking caution to avoid getting caught in any webs, Adis began a new incantation. "Mind the skies, beware what flies. Tear the skin, slice them thin. Trust not your eyes which fail to see, the difference  'tween fiction and reality"
  The Ettercaps' attention began diverting to an unknown assailant, but it did not seem to hinder their focus on the party in any serious way.

Karan knew a far simpler solution to all of her problems. Wrestling her hands free from the web in which they were entangled, she shrieked and struck down with all of her might at the creature in front of her, whipping herself into battle rage. Without a moment of delay, she follows with yet another blow, only slightly lighter than the previous one.

Norian tries something a little differnt than his standard starter, and attempts to burn an Ettercap with some Sacred Flame. Sadly, Norian's aim is off, and the creature dodges the light from above. He looks at the web afterwards, and wonders if trying to burn it off would be a good idea. he decides to take a closer look at it

Graven does some spectacular spider bashing, and you can sure tell the Ettercaps aren't happy about it. Can a spider-man-thing squeal in pain? Hard to tell, but they sure can gurgle up blood!

Karan goes all rage-y to try to top him, but misses the Ettercap with her first attack due to dense webbing.

In retaliation, one of the Ettercaps binds Graven with webbing before sneaking away. The bloodier one attacks with his Greataxe before sneaking away, but Graven's amazing (temporary) fortitude absorbs most of the blow.
