The Quest of the Spider Queen

As they ate, Jack went on;
'I'm afraid I don't have a copy here, but the first mention of Queen Arachnia in the Overworld comes from a memoir written by an adventurer that had returned from the Underdark after some pretty hair-raising adventures.
In the book he tells us that she has been known in Underdark folk lore for hundreds of years. He never went to her lair, but their is a chapter in the book dedicated to all the information he found out about her.' 
He then reached into a magazine rack and pulled out a chap book.
'This, however, is more recent. A chap book written by Mr Modrick Templeman. It's three years old and I should imagine a lot of it is simply made up, but it recounts the tale of a group of dwarves that managed to find her lair, enter it, steal some treasure, and returned to tell the tale. I wouldn't put much stock in it, to be honest.'

Fenrir brought a round of drinks and gave Templeman 20 gold 'to support the arts'. Templeman was already a great admirer of Fenrir and happy to help. He had a copy of the relevant chap book.
'I will cross out the bits I made up,' said Templeman, taking a pen.
'Here, here and ahh... here, I made all this stuff up. But the rest I heard from a dwarf, who told me he had heard the story at a place called the
"Eight Ways Tavern" in the Underdark. None of it may be true of course, but this fellow said that he and his friends had made their way into the realm of Queen Arachnia and... well, you can read it for yourself, here you are my lord!'
Fenrir thanked the writer and stashed the marked up chap book somewhere safe.
Later that day, Fenrir, Reinward and company began to make preparations for their inevitable new journey into the Underdark. They went to the shops and geared up, engaged Nocknod 'Dinkledonk' Brightman to come with them (as he had been to the Underdark before) and instructed the other three mercenaries to help guard Fenrir's house until their contracts ended.
In addition they hired a female human druid who was an expert tracker called Soledad Marris who would help them find their way through these same countless tunnels that I had lead Fenrir through just a few months before.
Fenrir arranged for one of the six judges of Westgate to hold the fort for him while he was away - Jenner Fields, who was clever and wise, but since she was lowborn she would be assisted by Gneiss the Dancer, a very noble dwarven Duke.
