12.2 - Arachnid Negotiations

General Summary

As the cold weather set in and food is becoming more scarce, Councilwoman Fox, Grunk, Hazel, and Matthias heeded the call to establish a trade route between Last Rest and the Druid Circle. Between the strange mountain waste to the north, and the spider forest to the northeast, the roads for caravans have been treacherous. The only way to get a trade route was to deal with the spiders.
Quickly, the party learned that the spiders had become more intelligent since their last encounters, and the group stayed their hand after initiating combat. Having formed a system of governance, employment, and roles, the spiders kept referring to "The Big Guys" as the feared leaders of their woods.
It wasn't long before they found out who the "Big Guys" were: mutated spiders that had been eating nuclear waste, and grown to a massive size.
In a close battle, the party managed to dispatch the terrifying monstrosities, and negotiate an easement with the spiders as "the new authority in town".
