Chapter 7: The Temple of the Tainted

The young woman guided the Company through the dense woods for several hours before bringing them into a clearing. There, the woman and her sisters - calling themselves the Daughters - revealed their desperate need - one of their kind had been captured by an evil force in the forest. This same force, which the woman called the "tainted ones", was responsible for poisoning the forest's heart. Unless the party agreed to rescue their sister and cleanse the woods, the magic power of the Grove would be denied to Thomasin. Seeing no alternative, and with Thomasin's time growing short, the Company agreed.

Following the Daughter's directions, the party quickly found the web-shrouded heart of the forest. Climbing into a large cyst like structure, the party found a chamber filled with web cocoons. Moving beyond, the party entered a large chamber, dominated by a large pit that contained a massive web. Here, they were attacked by a black-armored warrior, who quickly disappeared after striking from behind. The attack, however, summoned the attention of a humongous spider which laired at the bottom of the pit. Through a desperate coordinated effort, the party managed to destroy the spider and heal the blight at the heart of the forest. But before they could escape, the party was attacked by the drider priestess which inhabited the temple. Auriga was captured, but Thomasin and Leif managed to rescue her. During the battle, Leif stabbed at the drider with the Wyrmfang, and it was wrenched from his grasp. As he fought to reclaim it, he and the drider were sent plummetting to the forest floor. When Thomasin managed to climb down to his friend, he found the drider had escaped, leaving Leif with the Wyrmfang plunged deep into his chest; however, upon drawing the blade from Leif's chest, the ranger came back to life with a sharp gasp. Leaving the horrors of the Spider Temple behind them, the party returned to the grove.

Back at the Grove, the Company rested and celebrated their victory. Thomasin was taken into the Elder grove and healed of his wound. Ash revealed gifts that he had created, including a bow for Leif and a harp for Thomasin. The daughters were also able to shed light upon Eudora's message, and provided directions to the small mountain called Watcher's reach.
