Description
Stage 1
Stage 2

'Oh, stranger, perhaps you will hear my sad story. I was a member of a group of merchants who were crossing the North Downs when we encountered a party of marauding Orcs.

'We fled from them, but did not escape tragedy. We encamped not far south of here, in a place I later learned was called the Snares, and with good reason. As we slept, our camp was raided by spiders! Only I escaped and was rescued by these Rangers.

'One of my companions was bearing a pouch of valuable gems on his person, which we were taking to Othrikar for trade. I do not doubt that it was still on his body when the spiders dragged him off. Could you go to the spider-lair and retrieve it? Without it, I will be destitute. The lair is to the south of here.'

The lost pouch of gems is somewhere in the area called the Snares, south of Esteldín.

Holger Tanner, a merchant who escaped an attack by spiders, has asked you to recover his companions' missing pouch of gems from the spiders' lair.
