- After returning to the upper levels of the cairn to rest the group returned to the room in which they had been ambushed by the spider to finalize their agreement. They walked through the shadowy spiderwebs in the room knowing this would let the spider know we had entered the room. The shadow spider arrived in short order. The group reconfirmed the agreement that if they were to kill the mage that dwelt in the caverns below the cairn, Allistun would be returned to them. The group knew that had little choice because none of them had the ability to walk in the shadow realm yet.
- The shadow spider then led them toward the river that fed down into the lower caverns. As they were approaching the spider told the group that there were earth dwelling creatures ahead. He said he would “deal with them,” if the group wished it. Looking over the situation, and not sure what he was talking about, the group agreed that the spider should “deal” with them. The group watched as the spider crept up and ripped the creatures to pieces. After seeing the beasts the group thought it was for the best that they didn’t try to fight the creatures on such a dangerously small bridge with a long plunge below.
- After following the red river a short distance farther, the group came to the first of what they were told were many drops leading to the bottom. This is where the spider believed we would find his mage. With that the spider vanished back to the shadow realm.
