=== The Temple of Lolth ===
=== The Temple of Lolth ===
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
Here is the description of my experience in the temple of Lolth
We set out to explore south of the camp.  Paul wanted us to accompany him to do research on a ruin that had been noted not far off.  We made our way there, Paul, myself, Sabbatical, Yewvane, Reedy and Paris.  Pexx and Daq also accompanied us.  When we reached the location we took time to review the structure.  It was much older than we expected, and none of the barely discernable markings were identifiable by anyone in the party. Cautiously we approached the entrance and made our way inside.
 
The first room was spacious but dark.  We began to move into it to get a better look when suddenly scurrying spiders emerged from various corners, and we were beset on all sides.  We stood mostly near the entrance to avoid them, using ranged attacks, though Yewvane and Sabbatical were willing to get in close.  The spiders were imposing to see, but ultimately not very tough and we fought through them with minor injuries.  Sabbatical took some damage but shook off my initial offer of healing.  We made our way through the room to an exit opposite the wall through which we entered.  We passed through the doorway and came into another decently sized room, and again were beset by spiders.  These were larger than the first group, each as big as a person, as compared to the first few which were more the size of Daq.  The party again engaged the spiders, but these weren't just unnaturally large - they were also possessed of a magical nature that allowed them to use their webs to blast us with magical energy. 
 
We fought on and eventually defeated the creatures, although the damage we took was more significant.  When finished we noted the main feature of the room other than the spiders was a statue at the rear of the chamber.  It was of a woman who was beautiful but also had spider-like features.  It was a statue of Lolth, demon queen of spiders, whose trickery and deceit are renowned. She stood with a hand outstretched, palm up, as if waiting to be given a gift.  With nothing particularly obvious to try we moved on, out another door that lead to a hallway.  The hall was lined with what appeared to be large spider legs, though composed of ooze and not carapace.  They moved like spider legs though, and tried to strike any who came close.  But they were fixed in place and we were able to destroy them primarily with ranged attacks.  I've never used my eldritch blast so much!
 
We reached another simple room, one which had an air of being a preparatory chamber, and which had a significant door to our left as we entered.  We were again beset by oozy spider legs and a few spiders.  As we defeated these, Sabbatical indicated she'd taken a decent amount of damage, so I used a cure wounds spell to heal her a bit.  Yewvane made his way to the main door and opened it, and behind it was a horror.  A spider-like creature, horse-sized, loomed over Yewvane.  It seemed to be the source of the ooze legs, and appeared to be half-ooze itself.  A tough  fight commenced, and several of us were affected by fear and took some tough injuries.  But ultimately the bit of healing I could do was helpful with others' abilities and we managed to keep our feet and slay the foul beast.  We then searched its chamber, and Reedy's keen eyes found both an obviously magical cloak, as well as a large red gem that seemed just the right size for the palm of the Lolth statue we had previously seen.
 
Heading back out of the temple we stopped at the statue and placed the gem in its hand.  Doing so revealed a secret door that opened in the wall behind the statue, and behind the door was a passageway that lead quickly to stairs heading downward.  We chose not to explore further, and left the red gem with Paul.  Reedy claimed the cloak, and the rest of us divided up a few gold coins we found.  Then we headed back to camp to coordinate with the rest of the expedition.  I don't think I'll want to explore the stairs any time soon, but if needed I'll definitely step up to the task.
