Hexcrawl 78 - Forest Spider Battle and Elvish Temple Ruins

Lysander the satyr bard leads a low-level mess-around with dwarf life cleric Grom, goblin rogue ZaZa "Hounddog" Jenkins and new feytouched wild sorcerer Flip - they set off to find some recently discovered elf temple ruins near the burgeoning town of Rickety Bridge. We try out our new poker-chip travel system, and Lysander and the crew have trouble locating the ruins. In the night, Lysander is attacked by spiders (again) and it goes badly. Grom and his trusty porter charge in on their dwarven battle-goats and narrowly save the other characters from becoming spider food. Before dawn that same night, ZaZa gets charmed by the nixie Kallista who wants him to serve her for a year. He promises to return after they explore the ruins, which they finally discover. ZaZa triggers a trap, they encounter the cold-cursed and sorrowful elf Quoemin who makes Flip sad, and battle some boggles in a tight room. The party barricades themselves in an apparently safe room and STAYS IN THE DUNGEON for next time...
