Organ harvesting and going down on the Maw

by Jeanne

And so down we go~
Our current plan was to go down for one day and then go look around
And Heidan is our walking lexicon for all stuff maw related, pretty handy - as well as mobile with those wings
Takes some time to get down effectively because of the terrain
 
Some time down we take down one of the weird bird creatures flying around
It takes a couple of time, arrows and bolts because we can't hit for crap x'D
Also there's not much meat to the bird, but hey, it's something
Some of us even see the stuff we were looking for on our way down, even though we wanted to harvest the 'drugs' on the way up
Yep we definitely found the correct spotted moss
Flavius even confirms that it isn't poisonous
 
Aaaaand we harvest the drugs
Also the moss or something in it was moving while Heidan harvested it
To be precisely it seems to be a colony of teeth living in there O.o
We've got a quick talk about whether those 'teeth' are needed for the drugs
In the end we concur that we shouldn't take that stuff down into the maw with us, so it's a 'way back problem'
 
Heidan and Thazz are the ones leading the way down
And it seems like Heidan takes on a little bit of a tinge of the background
On our way is a big venomous arachnid waiting in ambush for us
 
In order to lure out the creature Siv tries to catch a squirrel with a net
And catches themselves
Thazz with his javelins is far more successful by gutting on of the little furry creatures
He then throws it into the hunting zone of the spider creature
 
Aaaand we killed the spider thing super quickly
We try to harvest the spider silk stuff, but loads of it is in pretty rough shape
We also try harvesting the venom gland with me roughly locating it
Mortimer is more or less great in actually removing the thing
But hey, paralyzing poison!
 
After that we press on and keep an eye out for a place to stay
Also the terrain gets continously rougher
We then find a 500 meter drop
And our prime solution is jumping and then using feather fall
There also seems to be some magical weirdness on the way down
 
When we arrive we see a dark old lodge
With dim firelight inside and a couple of eyes looking at us from the 2nd floor
