Lonesome Wanderings, Session 13

 In which Badger...

• Hires dwarf cleric Chum to accompany him back to the Red Blade lair
• Arrives at the lair and only to find the Stone Seekers, and adventuring party of 5 members which is also after the treasure and tells the duo to get out, this is their turf.
• Leaves the treasure to the Stone Seekers, but follows them to their next job at a stone mine, discreetly.
• Listens in on their conversation, and once the Stone Seekers have entered the mine go into the mine office to speak to the head dwarf.
• Tells the head dwarf that in fact his party are the Stone Seekers and the others imposters, for which the dwarf sends 2 more dwarves into the mine to call back the Stone Seekers (leaving just him and a single dwarf).
• Gets the head dwarf and his companion buzzed with some wine he found elsewhere, and then gets permission to go into the mine himself to "deal with things" while the lead dwarf settles things with the "imposters".
• Enters the mine to find it partially cleared out, and luckily avoids the Stone Seekers who are clearly irritated at being recalled to the miners camp.
• Discovers a room with living silver statues and some gold coins, and fights one statue but leaves the remaining 11 undisturbed.
• Avoids a slime in the dungeon, letting it go on it's merry way.
• Runs into the Shroud Spider in its lair that's been harassing the dwarves, and luckily escape as the spider is more interested in a golden and silver belt it has acquired and lets the party go once they leave its lair.
• Ties a silver statue to a rope and lure the spider to the silver statue room, where well armored Chum activates all the statues that attack him but do little damage.
• Runs with Chum leaving the statues to fight it out with the spider, heading to the lair preparing to ambush whomever enters.
• Sees the spider with it's collected loot of 12 destroyed statues enter, clearly injured, and with a few hits finishes it off.
• Collects the gold and silver belt, the silver statues, and some gold pieces lying around the lair and runs out of the dungeon - and makes it into the wilds just in time to outrun the irritated Stone Seekers and dwarves who've discovered the deception.
• Sells off the treasures to get the gold and return back to Sukisyn to count up the loot.
