Lost Mine of Phandelver - Session 4 - A Banshee and a Spider Mother

The party traveled two days to Conyberry without any noteworthy incident.  

They found Agatha’s grove and were successful in their flattery and information gathering mission.  Using the jewel encrusted comb, they persuaded the banshee to cooperate.They also found out that BowGentle’s spell book was in Neverwinter and that Sister Garaele was really an agent of the Harpers.

After traveling to Thundertree, the party fought off some Twig Blights and Ash Zombies.  They met Reidoth the druid who hired them to kill Morag, a massive spider mother that had taken up residence in the ruined town’s tower.  

Some initial battles with Morag’s children proved difficult, so the party decided to get reinforcements before challenging Morag herself.  

Reidoth agreed to tell them of CragMaw Castle’s location after seeing their injuries, and due to the persuasions of Innil, as he also agreed that they needed assistance for the battle.  He led them through the forest with the promise that they would return shortly to complete their mission.

The party leveled-up to Level 3 at this point in the story.
