Session 3 - Marpenoth 19 (Day 5)

The party decides to continue their penetration of the drow caverns. When they reach the end of the shute, they are attacked by drow warriors, a drow spellcaster, an undead skinned drow and another undead spider. The party can dispatch the undead and the drow warriors but one of the drow warriors, although severly wounded, can escape. The druids question a drow warrior who was taken alive but the male is unwilling to share information and is killed.
When they search the cavern, they discover it leads to the top of a major underground cavern that has a huge web against its side. The vermin master sends his scarab minion onto the web to investigate. The tiny vermin gets stuck on an invisible strand. When the paladin tries to help him, he gets stuck as well. When he cut's himself loose, he disturbs the strands and an enormous spider approaches and attacks the party. The battle is a close call but in the end the party, mainly the paladin of Lathander, can defeat the spider. Exhausted and wounded, the party decides to withdraw and rest.
