D20: 2

Once again it takes you a few minutes to find anyone you think might be working with the Zhentarim like you. You almost step on a flying snake that hisses at you but when they see you, they listen to you and race to go get more back up. There doesn't seem to be anyone else in the area related to the Zhentarim at the moment.

Delmalis casually avoids the spider's clumsy attack and strikes back again.

Attack: 22 Damage: 12
Attack: 21 Damage: 7

(Assuming no 3 is dead)

Sybil swipes the air as she moves the hexd to no 2 and fires another eldritch blast at spider no 2. (Attack on number 3 if it's still alive), "I know flies in soup can be a problem but spiders might be a bit much," Sybil jokes. 

Attack: 23 Damage: 14 Force

Hex damage: 3

If spider 3 is still moving, Lussa will fire at it, otherwise she will move her Hunter's Mark to an available target to attack:  Attack: 15 Damage: 11 + 2.

Mielikki Con

Sybil, you unleash a fierce Eldritch Blast at Spider No. 2 as it falls to the ground with Twitch still on its back.

With one spider left, Lussa's arrow sings as it releases and shoots deep within the spider.

Everyone is out of initiative as guards begin to swarm Drizzt. The Captain returns with blood on her sword and a slightly annoyed expression. "We have to cut our visit short. We need to get you to safety at the Yawning Portal. It's convenient as it's the last stop on our little event."

Drizzt emerges with his panther, both breathing heavy. "To the Portal."

Roland runs to the ground. "Does anyone need healing?"

Twitch is deeply angry that they did not make a better showing of themselves and shakes off Rolands offer of assistance, opting to go high whenever possible as they form a vanguard for Drizzt on the way to the Portal.

Delmalis shrugs and heads out, staying a little ahead to keep an eye out.

Perception: 15

Meep turns down the offer, but he'll cast Necrotic Feast once at second level, and once at first level, touching each of the spider corpses. They shrivel into withered husks at his touch, and he'll gain 11 temporary hit points (only taking the temp hit points from the second level spell).

Milekki Con

Roland nods toward Twitch and watches Meep's necrotic feast. "That's one way to do it I suppose."

Does anyone have anything else they need to do in town before they go to the Yawning Portal?

Sea Ward

After a few moments Rotthran, you hear a soft voice communicate with you that says "We heard about your Xanathar troubles. The boss sent us after learning of the butcher's incident." You watch as a couple of Zhentarim soldiers appear. Although they're in traditional City Watch attire, you see the flying snake symbol on their tabards. One of them, appears to be a lady dragonborn but her scales are sapphire. You've heard the rumors of The Sapphire Lady who can speak into the minds of soldiers. Behind her is a tiefling woman, Zeeki, who you know is a sorceress.

The Sapphire Lady nods at Rotthran. "There are more coming. This is worse than we thought."

You have three fellow Zhentarim with you and more coming. How do you want to proceed?

Sybil grabbs her backpack and ready to go whenever. 

Lussa shakes her head, "fine here, but thank you."

(She's ready to head to the Portal.)

Mielikki Con - Yawning Portal

It takes a couple of hours to return to the Yawning Portal. Some Con attendees are dressing their wounds and talking about all of the spiders and drow. The Portal is busy with folks, both regular customers, adventurers and even some Con goers. The Captain takes the six of you through a doorway that leads into a large room where there are dark elves, duregar and other Underdark denizens. These folks cheer when they see Drizzt and his panther take the stage. He begins to talk about his past and coming to the surface.

As Drizzt speaks to the crowd, The Captain turns to Lussa and Sybil. "Those spiders and drow who attacked. They weren't priest of Lolth. I found this on one of them."

She shows a piece of what you assume is skin with the beholder tattoo on it. "They're working for the Xanathar. I've heard you've crossed their paths before. I'm curious as to why The Xanathar wants you."

"I believe we have upset the Xanathar by stopping their plans by happenstance repeatedly," Sybil explains with a shrug, "We can just throw a rock at this point and we proably hit a Xanathar operative as well,"

 Twitch looks about for a rock.

" Xanathar are bad. Its alright to murder bad people.", Twitch nodded solemnly.

" We should murder more of them."

Twitch, as you say that, two men toward the front turn and glare at you. One of them is bald and has a familiar eye tattoo on their face.

Delmalis shrugs, "I don't know that they're after us because we're bad, it could just be business. We may even end up working with them at some point."

Lussa nods her head, answering the Captain but keeping her voice low, "agreed, every job we have taken recently seems to be at cross purposes to those of the Xanathar.  This has not been our intention, but a fact none-the-less."

Twitch flashes their teeth at the men and licks their lips, then clicks their teeth together twice.

Intimidation: 6

The men appear confused until a burly brown-haired man walks over and smacks them. He turns to Twitch and nods. "Apologies my friend. My associates aren't that bright." As he leaves, The Captain points at everyone. "That's Wheloon Moondragon. Rumor has it he's been missing from Force Grey action."

The rest of the time in the Yawning Portal seemingly goes without incident. As Drizzt prepares to leave, he bows to everyone. "Thank you for your help. I know you were paid to do this, but I appreciate your help."

As he finishes, a loud skittering noise echoes in the room as a creature with the body of a spider and the head of a male drow enters the room.

"The boss wants the stone. One of them has to know where it is," he shouts, before coughing and pointing to the party as everyone else scatters.

Another drider appears and launches toward the group as Drizzt intercepts it. The smaller drider curses as it turns to the group before the man who the Captain addressed before steps up and nods. "The name's actually Meloon Wardragon and allow me to help you in this."

I need everyone to roll Initiative. If you're higher than the drider go before them.

Drider - 18

Roland - 9

The Captain - 18

Meloon Wardragon - 3
