Part 3: The Spider's Web

1. On their way out of town, the party decided to visit the Shrine of Luck and spoke with Sister Garaele there
2. Sister Garaele asked the party to speak with the banshee Agatha at her lair near the ruins of Conyberry
3. She wanted the party to ask Agatha for the location of the spellbook of Bowgentle and suggested the party appeal to her vanity and provided them with a jeweled silver comb to offer as a gift
4. The party set out for Conyberry, encountering some skeletons along the way but they did not pose a problem
5. Arriving in Conyberry, the party quickly located the trail leading northwest to Agatha's Lair and soon found themselves there
6. Calling out to Agatha from outside the natural structure seemed to have no effect, so the party moved through the opening beneath the limbs
7. As they entered, the spectral form of Agatha the banshee appeared before them, demanding to know the cause of their intrusion
8. Quickly working to placate the banshee, the party spoke kindly and offered the comb that Sister Garaele had provided
9. Agatha accepted the party's graciousness and answered the party, telling them the spellbook had been given to a necromancer named Tsernoth from Iriaebor
10. Thankful, the party left and set off for the ruins of Thundertree
11. Encountering some orcs along the way, the party defeated them and questioned one about Cragmaw Castle
12. The orc could not answer any questions about the Cragmaw Goblins but he did reveal that his tribe of orcs were located at Wyvern Tor and led by Brughor Axe-Biter
13. Continuing on to Thundertree, the party found warnings of plant creatures and undead infesting the ruins and they encountered several as they explored
14. The party did find a building intact and, investigating it, found that it was inhabited by the druid Reidoth who suggested that the party heed the warnings he had posted and flee for their own safety
15. However, they insisted on staying asked Reidoth about the location of Cragmaw Castle, which he provided
16. Reidoth then suggested that if the party thought themselves strong enough that they might consider driving off a dragon named Venomfang that had taken up residence in the tower at the top of the hill
17. The session ended as the party was further exploring the ruins
