Otter blushes as he bows in gratitude to the dryad, admiring the elm leaf as he turns it over in the sunlight before placing it carefully in his pouch. Once the storm has cleared he searches the area for anything noteworthy.
Perception: 12
You see shiny objects in the riverbed upon closer inspection you can see a handful of coins if you take a moment you collect 3gold 17silver & 23copper
(Wondering can I choose Ring of Protection as the magic item Otter finds, or is the golden elm leaf the item he finds here? Or if that's too rare maybe something common.)
Otter forages for food and makes a stew for everyone as the sun slowly moves behind the western ridge.
Survival: 8
As the group gathers for the evening meal, he asks "Shall we depart for the Spiderwood at first light, see if we can find the Gnomish railroad Serba spoke of? Uhhm, sorry the stew isn't better, I wasn't able to find anything too savory out there. But this bark is really good for you."

Leif Aulderoot the small gnome with an unseen servant is playing with Ramona as they are near the rocky river bottom, she is laughing and doing what a toddler does from the woods nearby a swirl of butterflies appear they swirl around Ramona then land on her everyone draws a breath as all at once they take wing and swirl away...
”Destiny little one destiny has chosen you. Come one come all the time she is awaiting no longer. We must be off, we’ve lingered, but now must go. The Spiderwood is no place for resting but I fear we must persevere.” For just a moment to those who are watching very close, you catch the briefest glimpse of a skunk and a dryad near an old elm tree.
Dark woods thick with webs almost like traveling through tunnels spiders everywhere but they don’t come into the clear spaces as you cautiously continue forward a rather large (tiny size @ cat) spider jumps down in the path ahead.
Buzzz Buzzz Buzzz an eight legged flying creature that looks like a cross between an ant and a spider zooms past the party grabs the spider as it tries to escape...
crunch crunch crunch the spider-eater flies off eating its meal.
You continue moving through the webby forest and the silence is overwhelming. Then you begin to hear a sound like clicking and chittering as out of the web come 8 large spider-humanoids (ettercaps).

"So... what do you know about Ettercaps?" Otter asks Jackie in a low voice as he watches the creatures emerge from the webs. He tries to recall any stories he may have heard about them from other wood elves (Nature check?).

They are referred to as spider shepards and though they are terrible if allowed to expand their territory there are benefits to their exsistance such as silk and poison they are not overly smart!
Solasiel look at the monster "well that one is not easy to catch" as he get his long bow
As Solasiel draws his bow and arrow... all eight ettercaps extend out their abdomen and fill the area with webbing. 160 cubic feet of web fills the area.
Lets roll initiative. If you have a modifier add it to the number roll and we’ll commence. ettercaps. 13 Leif. 10 Solasiel. 5. Jackie. 10 Otter. 7 Serba. 20

Leif. 16. ettercaps. 14 Solasiel. 13. Otter. 12 Serba. 10 Jackie. 3 Leif will cast grease on Solasiel and Serba freeing them from the sticky webs, “We must not become food for spiders please my friends fight on!!”
The ettercaps will move in to attack one on each pc 3 stay where they are watching with their big black spider eyes.
Okay less about the numbers let’s say the area you are in is now full of webs everyone gets 1/2 cover and ranged attacks are out. Movement is difficult the Ettercaps seem to be calling spiders into the area.
Assuming none of the other party members are too immediately close by so as to be affected by the spell, Otter casts Thunderwave as a 2nd level spell (trying to catch at least one additional Ettercap in the cube area of effect besides the one attacking him).
Save: CON 14 (half damage) Damage:15
As the thunderous boom echoes off the surrounding trees, he shouts in the Common tongue, "Stand back, we only want to go in peace!" Though he doesn't have high hopes the creatures will understand or listen.

"Well glad its a bit over we should move from there and cross the forest before something else happen?"say Solasiel worried
Let’s proceed out of order we’ll post impulsively.
Solasiel the Dark Phoenix is flying in a circle way up overhead it may be looking for food metal or minerals the railroad may be close by.
as you notice this a swarm of spiders drop on you from the webs and start biting...
everyone is dealing with a similar situation.
