Fame & Fortune Confront Redfang the Unruled	6/5/07 - 07:15
This next entry into the Log of Fame & Fortune is a cautionary tale of magical meddling into the makeup of creatures without the guidance of the Divine Flame. Fame & Fortune were contacted by a certain Basil Tallbarrow, a meddler into the structure of creatures better left to those more wise and skilled than himself. In an ironic twist of fate (or the guidance of the Deity?) this Tallbarrow had been forced to flee his laboratory after creating an especially large and lethal form of arachnid, which he named Redfang. This monstrous spider was lairing in the depths of Tallbarrow’s laboratory, defended by others of her kind released from Tallbarrows bondage, and worse still, possibly breeding. An abomination surely, but then we have seen so many since coming to Stormreach. Fame & Fortune recruited Girder the Warforged and Nepcal the Dwarf to add clout to our extermination efforts, and quickly moved into the Laboratories winding entrance tunnel. Any doubt about the presence of spider was quickly dispelled by the thick, clinging webs the obscured our sight and obstructed our path. The passage was also trapped, presumably an effort by Tallbarrow to contain his specimens. Large brown spiders and Glass spiders swarmed about. Normally we would just crush them, their appearance is worse than their bite, but they were distracting us from the process of finding and disabling the traps. At least once this worked in our favor as one of the many legged nuisances triggered a jet of flame upon itself. We quickly learned to stay away from the silken cocoons of the glass spiders at Garmans expense. They explode at the slightest movement, and their fragments inhaled quickly sap the strength of the unfortunate victim. Fortunately I was able to restore the Halflings strength, but I must admit there are times that I wish he was not so impetuos. Further into the Laboratory we encountered scorpions and more of Tallbarrows trickery. He had arranged for the gate to the lower level to be opened by two levers on elevated platforms in a vain attempt to contain the bestiary. The larger spiders are quite cunning though, and one of the beast was well positioned to attack anyone attempting to operate the mechanism. After several attempts, we sent the Warforged over the top to slay the beast, as his kind has greater immunity from poison. This monstrosity slain, we proceed down into the dungeon. Fortunately Garman spotted an acid trap before anyone was harmed, and disarmed it. The next room was again guarded by a huge, poison spitting arachnid. This creature had the wit to call itself Venom, proving that Tallbarrow has gone too far with his manipulations of the natural order. Named or not, we slew the spider, hacking its legs from its bloated body and retrieving its sting as proof of our conquest. We took advantage of a nearby shrine to replenish our strength and clean the gore from our weapons and armor. So far things had been going well for us, but we were on guard. None of us appreciates any 8 legged being larger than a mouse, especially not our smaller friends who could potentially become a meal for one of these giants. The door way to the lower levels was trapped with spikes, but Garman again proved his worth quickly disarming it. The room below was trapped, again with spikes, spearing up through the floor. We avoided the spikes by following the ledges that lined all of these areas. From here Haraldos bow was highly effective. We continued on to the next hall to find it extremely effectively trapped. Numerous vents in the walls were spewing toxic stream in various directions and at different times. Garman was doing his best to disarm them, but to no avail. Within moments most of our party were suffering from exposure, and in a severly weakened state. Here again the Divine Power intervened, and I was at least partially able to restore my comrades to their full health. No sooner had I done this than we were beset by Venoms brother, Bile. We dealt with Bile as we dealt with Venom and proceeded. The hallway descended and Garman disabled several more fire traps before we reached the lair of Redfang the Unruled. Her caverns was tremendous. She had been busily at work. Cocoons and silken webs covered everything. Two of Redfangs minions quickly sprang to her aid while she kept at a distance with her poisonous sting. Neither she nor her offspring were our match though. In the end Redfang was slain like the rest. Basil Tallbarrows traps had been a more dangerous foe. We eviscerated the beast and removed her sting to prove the deed to Tallbarrow and hopefully show him the consequences of his meddling….

....The bow is not the only thing that is too big for that dwarf. His mouth is as well... ...

......You mean the brave dwarf protecting your back, killing the beast you are facing with one critical shot while you are trying for hours to give him a scratch with a pocket knife, right?....
