"Why of course, well spoken m'lady. You are free to rest up here, in my humble hall. It's not much, but it's a roof over yer head and strong walls around yeh."
The people of the town also bring spare rugs, cloth and straw to make beds for your stay. The townsfolk come and stay with you for a lot of the night, listening to stories woven by Rosli and Dani, giving thanks to you so that they can finally go home.
As the evening comes to an end, people begin walking back to their respective dwellings. However, before you can test your tired heads-up you hear a scream from the courtyard!
The villages have created a wide semi-circle around a gruesome scene. A pool of blood stains the ground and you see a wild-eyed humanoid creature, holding a decapitated villager by the neck. It has small, beady, wild eyes. It's skin looks like some sort of exo skeleton and it's vertical mouth is lined with teeth. It has a long tail which looks like a living vine circling it's body with a scorpion like stinger on the end. You see it, just as it pierces the body of the villager it's holding and the body begins to wrinkle and prune. The colour gets sucked out from their body as the creature trills in delight.
It drops the empty, lifeless husk of the human on the ground, crumpling flat in among their rags of clothes. Then, something frightful happens. The creatures body begins to wrench and wrythe, it's exoskeleton protruding in some areas and re-shaping it's physical appearance. It looks as though it's transforming from a small humanoid adolescent to a tall, gangly, thin and hunched adult. It's eyes become larger and rounder, it's mouth now in a horizontal axis and larger.
You see it stand up from a shell of it's old body and stretch. "Ahhhhhhh, Stage two." It says, in an alien sounding voice. It turns, looks around and hisses. It points a clawed finger at Dani and says "I crave the monk's energy." Before it begins to back up. It looks like it's about to run.
Danica scowled and as it retreated she whipped out her blowgun with one of the poison tipped needles. "Here, have this instead." She murmured and blew.
(spending Inspiration to get advantage on the attack roll)
Attack: 20 Damage: 7
(had to do it backwards, blowgun damage is 5 straight and the 1d6 is the poison)
Crispy had nothing to do with the others, the weight of the current situation weighing heavily on her mind.
She tried to sleep, and for the last few centuries, they were somewhat restful, but that night was different, like it was the night before.
She dreamed of a world of fire, of mountains, the skies red like blood. A soldier in the background, patiently waiting. She tried to make out who it was from the distance but could not. The soldier walked closer to her, and it was a paladin, in tight form fitting armor - with a huge hammer. She was about the same height as Cora, her hair almost as red as the sky. She was lean, cut, like her physically, but the power behind her strength was something divinely inspired..or created.
"I will find you.." Misha said.
A scream woke her from her vision, and she startled violently to her feet.
"What the ****.." she breathed, looking for the others.
Making her way outside and seeing the creature Rosli will do what she can to close the gap if it looks like it's going to flee and throw a few attacks at it.
Attack: 19 Damage: 6

Watatsumi takes wing and flies around the village courtyard, swooping down to cast Color Spray (impacts 28 hitpoints worth of creatures...centered on the main beastie) on the ugly monster....who is now blinded until the end of next round.
Yasei uses this blinding action to her advantage, and sprints into the center of the courtyard and engages the blinded beast in melee combat:
The creature hisses at this assault and jumps up from the ground, insect like wings protruding from it's back. "Hhhaaaargh- your world with FALL, I shall claim this earth for my SPAWN!" It then flies 60' in the air, in an unpredictable, irregular pattern as it attempts to wipe the colour spray from it's eyes. It appears to be retreating.
The creature begins to fly towards the direction of the Spidersilk Woods. It stumbles and jitters in the air, as it wipes the orange from it's eyes. Eventually, it gathers itself and looks down at it's persuers.
You can see it considering combat for a slight moment, before the scales on it's skin begin to shimmer individually, each turning into the colour of the night sky behind it- before it is completely out of view. Invisible.
"I will be hunting you- I will rule this world."You hear it hiss as it fades from detection.
Dani. This must be the entity Ken has been tracking. An abberation, not from this world or time. Asside from Cora appearing from the nine hells- it appears something has followed her through the portal she used. Or perhaps a different one?
You all finish up your rest proper back at the village before heading back to the dreaded woods. No Druid is there to greet you this time, as you retrace your steps to find yourselves as the enteance of the Spider's Hollow. Below is a map of where you explored last time. Where would you like to go?
You move through Area 3, having cleared it out earlier and in area 8, you spot two giant spiders hanging from the ceiling, ready to pounce. You can engage and roll initiative, or retreat.
Watatsumi leads off by casting Superior Invisibility on himself, disappearing while cuddled up on Yasei's shoulder.
Superior Invisibility. As a bonus action, the dragon can magically turn invisible until its concentration ends (as if concentrating on a spell). Any equipment the dragon wears or carries is invisible with it.
Yasei pulls her longbow out from its bindings on her back, and nocks and looses a single arrow at one of the spiders:

Yasei and Watatsumi both go invisible to the eye as Yasei lets out a wide shot. Spider 1 moves down towards Rosli, thrusting it's pelvis forward and spitting out a WEB! 18 If hit, you are restrained As an action, you can attempt a DC12 Strength Check in order to break free on your turn. Spider 2 then moves in for the tandem attack on Rosli! It's huge fangs quiver in excitement and anticipation at this exotic feline treat. Attack: 21 Damage: 6 plus 7 poison damage.

Rosli throws a Boomerang, it clunking one on the head before falling and getting caught in web about 15' away!
