s Galmair's medico, Amelia Rotholz, is working on developing a new antidote, she finds herself lacking a crucial ingredient: spider venom.

To procure samples of the spider venom, the mercenary captain Malchus is helming an expedition into a spider nest and calls for adventurers skilled and fearless enough to join this venture. Their mission is as important as it is perilous: They will descend into a lightless pit of cobwebs and thronging swarms of spiders to pry the spiders' lethal weapon straight from their piercing, venom-dripping fangs.

The expedition will gather at the given time at the Hemp Necktie Inn to prepare and deliberate on their course of action before venturing to the spider lair.

Will they succeed and procure the venom samples needed for the life-saving antidote, or will they fail and suffer a slow, agonizing death through the very venom they sought as they become the spiders' next meal?
