Two red haired men and a elderly hobbit enter the Prancing Pony and find a table.
"It's going to be good to have a real bed again," Old Mugwort says.
"I was just happy that we didn't have to worry as much about being attacked in the middle of the night," Hunulf Munce says.
"That was certainly nice."
"Do you have a problem with orcs and goblins?" Tortwil asks.
"Some of our problem is orcs but they seem to be more focused on whatever they're doing in the ruins," Hunulf says.
"What's your big problem than?"
"Our camp used to be down inside the valley but massive spiders attacked us."
"Most of our group didn't make it out of the valley," Mugwort says. "The spiders came out of nowhere and and we were already panicking over the goblin attack."
"I wonder if they're the same brood that's set up a home near Ost Guruth," Tortwil says. "I've been sending adventurers into the hills the spiders have claimed to kill as many of them as possible."
"I've tried the same thing," Hunulf says "but it seems that no matter how many are killed more hatch."
"That's why I have egg sacs destroyed as well. I'm happy to see as many of them dead as possible. The monsters killed my family."
"I'm sorry to hear that," Mugwort says.
"I only wish I hadn't seen my son being bitten and wrapped in webs," Tortwil says. "That image haunts my dreams every night."
"That's horrible."
"We had the adventurers who entered the valley to kill spiders burn the bodies of those we lost so they wouldn't continue to be fed on," Hunulf says.
"I wish I could have given that simple respect to my family but I never got the chance," Tortwil says.
"They seem to have gotten more active as the goblins started moving more aggressively."
"I told a traveler to kill three of the great elder spiders that live near Ost Guruth. Hopefully the damn things start thinking twice before attacking us again."
"There aren't a great deal of old spiders in the valley near us," Hunulf says. "I did have the adventurer target the largest of the spiders though."
"I tried getting help from the Forsaken Inn but they had their own problems," Mugwort says. "The goblins and orcs are making a lot of trouble, not to mention the wolves attacking travelers. Though they said there was someone interesting that stopped by but he got distracted by the stories about red water in the swamp."
"All we can do is continue to kill them whenever we get the chance and hope we can find the main nest," Hunulf says.
"If we can find that we can burn it down and drive them out of the Lone Lands," Tortwil says.
"That sounds like a very dangerous thing to look for," Mugwort says.
