Turns out those spiders actually do want to hurt us. What a shame, you think that maybe just once a spider will ask how your day is and maybe chat a bit about the weather but nope. They come down out of trees and through bushes and try to bite you really hard. With poison, no less. But we knew fighting was inevitable on our journey to find and save Thom Harper. We will show these spiders who is the boss. It is us.

Long Story
The Tower of Grey party has just been attacked by spiders, in the middle of a scary, dark Feywild! There are ten of them about the size of ponies, and they are currently surrounding our heroes. During the fight, everyone but Lahni gets wrapped up in icky sticky spider webs. The body that was wrapped up in webs falls to the ground, and Toby frees himself and goes over to the body, freeing him as well. It is Nook Nimmlock! They are able to kill some spiders, but more appear, and then a female Drow arrives, all in armor, along with a lithe Drowish man, and a massive spider, which changes its form into a third Drow!
Short
All that stuff happens. They fight spiders, find Nook and are attacked by three Drow, at least one of whom is a shape changer.
Trivia
- Michael makes a joke about some of the spiders' ichor landing on Tum Darkblade. This is a reference to the earliest episodes when Tum would get splashed by the remains of the enemies they fought
- Bachmann thought it would be funny to have one of his skeletons walk into the webbing and be caught last episode, so Michael grants him Inspiration now
