Everyone was here for this session, but we got a really late start due to having everyone level up preemptively. We ended up having about 2 and a half hours of actual play.
The session consisted entirely of the major encounter of this adventure - the party's match (and the rematch of some players) against the tomb spider and its master, Lazlow "Laz" Dirgwyn. This fight was absolutely LADEN with saving throws, with many of the players having to make 4 a turn. Seamus & Vorgym spent almost the entire fight unable to move, which hampered the party's ability to coordinate their attacks. Amnon & Shivra both fell into dying status, and both nearly ended up dead - Amnon had one death save failure left before death, Shivra was one turn from being killed off by ongoing damage. This was an intense combat, and a long one as well.
Lazlow used his powers to heal himself by damaging the tomb spider, using its large health pool (226 HP) to keep himself in the fight. Before long, however, the party managed to get the upper hand, killing the tomb spider & Lazlow, leaving themselves with a broodswarm of the tomb spider's young to fight. This broodswarm managed to escape underneath a bronze statue of Lolth; this statue contains an open sarcophagus in its base.
The party recovered a veritable hoard from Lazlow's body: a spider-silk robe & a bronze spider crown worth 250 gold pieces each; a golf ball-sized black opal worth 500 gold pieces; a pouch of 180 gold pieces; an Amulet of Health +2 which went to Seamus; and a suit of Shadowdance Leather Armor +2 which went to Nirreh. We ended the session there.
I will be sending out PDFs of character sheets to Seamus & Shivra; Seamus' sheet will have the Amulet he received on it & equipped. Good job on this encounter everyone - this was a hard one and you prevailed! Seamus, I need to have you make an Endurance check to see what your filth fever did during the last extended rest; please remind me of this next week!
We will not be having the extra Saturday session this week, too many people unable to make it. See you guys Wednesday!
