## Episode 40 - The FeyWild West

Red guides Seline and Talia through Lord Longfellow's manor in the feywild to his garden. Red returns to the manor while Talia and Seline enter the maze. They reach a four-way intersection and while deciding which way to go oh, they look back and see on the balcony at the Manor several individuals and Lord Longfellow. He announces Seline and Talia as tonight's entertainment as they take on his hunters while trying to escape the endless maze. Talia spots a pit directly in front of them behind the illusion and Seline ask Talia for boost. With Talia’s help she's able to look over the walls of the maze and see one of the children hiding. Seline's able to see the exit is not far from the entrance. Unfortunately the maze the maze is moving changing the paths and spider-folk crawling through the maze. They choose the left path and start going down that way. Talia takes the lead moving through the twists and turns of the maze feeling like she's getting closer to the center. When she realizes they made a wrong turn she tries to backtrack to a t-intersection where the encounter to two of the red striped spider-folk coming down each side of this intersection. Seline and Talia quickly dispatch these two, Seline shouting up at Their audience, "Are you not entertained!" Talia leads the way down the correct path avoiding the shifting walls of the maze. Continuing on, the path to become more difficult to navigate until they run into and surprise three more hunting spiders quickly taking them down. Talia wraps one of the dead spiders in linen and put it in the bag of holding. Seline checks her watch. Deciding it would be easier to keep track of time with a light spell that only lasts for an hour, she casts light on her bird skull holy symbol. They continue on until Talia feels like she's lost sense of where they are in the maze. She boosts Seline up again. Unfortunately when Seline looks around all she sees is maze and the balcony is the same distance away. As Seline hops down she see a large phase spider materialize behind Talia.

> **DM Molly**As you get down, Seline you see standing right behind Talia one of the big ones just stepping out of nowhere... Seline: Hey Talia guess what?**Talia Argent-Grey**What?**Seline Argent-Grey**Take a guess... Take a guess what's behind you?...**DM Molly**... You just turn and it's still stepping out of nowhere into your field of view and its body above you, you just whirl around aim up and three shots all into its abdomen and it just empties its intestines out.[Seline casts prestidigitation to create fireworks. Their audience claps as Talia takes a bow and Seline does a Vanna White presentation of the now-dead phase spider.]

Seline has to recast her light spell. Talia feels that they're making progress considering that they've moved past the center of the maze and are working their way back toward the outside. Talia and Seline make their way down a pathway when they spot one of the larger and two of the smaller spider-folk coming down in adjoining pathway. After Talia kills the big one and Seline tolls the dead on another, the two smaller spiders decide they had a prior engagement elsewhere. Watching the spiders skitter away, they see a break in the hedge and follow. Here they find themselves stepping out of the maze and onto the balcony two more applause. At this Lord Longfellow awards them a favor. Seline requests Lord Longfellow destroy himself. After a moment of silence and some laughter, Lord Longfellow politely refuses stating he cannot fulfill that as host and to ask for something else. Talia in turn ask that he removed the glamour on his manor which he does. They find themselves in a giant web filled cavern with floor-to-ceiling webbing all around it with spiders crawling along with a massive web tangled trees. Lord Longfellow is also revealed 10 ft tall with eight limbs attached to a bulbous body with many eyes in his head blinking at them rows and rows of teeth in a humanoid mouth behind his massive spider mandibles, he is a giant spider. The guests don't see any change but themselves look now drawn and pale with sunken cheeks. Talia demands that the children be returned. Lord Longfellow feels that by feywild law he was within his rights and is unconcerned with mortal law. Further that it is unbecoming for the guest to make demands on the host. Talia resoundingly declares she is not his guest.

> **Lord Longfellow**Very well, if you are not guests, then you are food.
