0.5-2 Going for broke

General Summary

Keen eyed bounty hunter Zar'ral Helvimtor has made his way to Yarrin on the hunt of his latest bounty, seeking Atrix Forde, an Elven woman suspected of kidnappings and murder. His prior investigations leading him to Yarrin, with a last known address.
Arrex Nairin has also found their travels have brought them to Yarrin.
Zar'ral heads to the local markets in search of information, and finds only livestock. He purchases a chicken before heading to the local inn, the Joyful Jay. He speaks to the barkeep, Ridga, and obtains some details about the address being used by many people. He then spends 600 gil on a bottle of Bony Heart whiskey.
Meanwhilst, Arrex notices some activity at a nearby house, their instincts drawing them in closer. Their approach startles the Tabaxi who had just entered, causing them to flee in a panic, heading in to the basement and locking the door behind them, whilst carrying a small crate with a small creature inside.
The noise draws Zar'ral from the nearby inn, and together they decide to approach, and Arrex kicks the door in, before the two search the house and head downstairs, Zar'ral picking the lock.
The pair climb down the flight of stairs, hearing stranger chittering and scratching noises before they turn a corner to see a giant spider locked inside an iron cage. Arrex opens the cage and the pair easily dispatch of 3 giant spiders before rescuing Gurdi Ginfrison, webbed within, left as spider food. Without means to heal him, the pair take him to the local temple for healing where he promptly informs them of a secret door within the basement.
Arrex and Zar'ral make their way to the basement again, finding the secret switch underneath some false webbing before making their way down a long corridor, failing to avoid the wandering Eye Bat that patrols, but through sheer luck, they prevail in combat despite Zar'ral suffering a serious wound. Towards the end they find a desk in a seperate room, with some leftover papers strewn about a desk as if by someone leaving in a hurry.
A note says "To Plume in the wind, I am heading to Padstow, to secure the Marlboro, and arrange for it's transportation. Yours, Atrix."
They also find some notes on various monsters, their weaknesses, habitats, strengths etcetera. Nothing considerably useful.
The pair then discover the airship to Padstow is soon arriving, and they set out. They abandon an earlier plan to try bribing the captain with alcohol, and Arrex pays for two tickets upon the airship, intending to reach Padstow.
