[b]On the North East road to Overresch[/b]
A small caravan of gypsies are making their way to the the Overresch to take a ship across the Trieste sea to a rumored kingdom of gold. Tales of what lay across the sea have always been fantasized about but little fact is known about what is actually out there. Each wagon is lead by four horses and carries 6-12 people each. The wagons follow each other at a steady pace as they approached the most dangerous part of the route. At the midpoint between Rothenburg and Overresch was the least amount of protection from the wild lay, and where the forest grew closest to the road, so close you could see the webs in the branches. The forest looks as though it has a constant lay of frost, an illusion created by the eight legged inhabitants. 

Lurking in the treeline, they all skittered behind the trees and shrubs, some climbing up into trees and others shoving themselves in the dirt. They waited, lurking the shadows waiting for the human prey to move just past their location, allowing them to surprise their prey. Quickly crawling out from the shadows they all emerged and moved in on the caravan. The largest one, bigger than the horses and carriages, waited for the initial panic of the humans to send them all running, so it could feast on the horses. The massive swarm engulfed the caravan, feasting on the bodies of the gypsies, and dragging some back into the forest to be eaten or be used as an incubator. After the carnage settled all that remain were the carriages, still filled with the gypsies belongings, and some bloodied remains.

[b]Settlement in the northern clearing Northeast of Augsburg[/b]
The houses in the small village settlement are all abandoned, filled with webs and decaying bodies, the houses have become nests, filled massive egg sacs. The settlement was initially started by The Filtiarn company a few months ago, to establish a stronghold against the spider menace. The humans living in the settlement lived long enough to build it, and that’s about it. Most of the houses don’t have furniture as few had actually ever been able to move in. The ground around village is completely white with webbing.

[b]Rothenburg[/b]
In the kitchen of a small house on the lower west side of the city, an elderly woman sits down with her husband to enjoy a hot bowl of soup. Unfortunately, when she went to the market earlier and unwanted guest tagged along in the small crate of fresh produce she brought home. It had crawled out of the crate upon arrival and made itself hidden. As they sat blowing on the hot soup and enjoying each other company, it made its way across the floor and crawled up the backside of the old woman’s chair. Making its way to the back of her back, sitting on the edge of chair and her dress, it sunk its poisonous fangs into the old woman.
As her basic motor functions began to fail, and she slowly slumped in her chair much to her husband’s dismay, the spider quickly crawled up into the woman’s ear, hidden by her hair, and began to make its nest. It would nestle its eggs into the ear canal and would slowly begin to eat through the eardrum. It would only be a matter of time until the eggs would hatch releasing hundreds of spiderlings, who would then feast on their host to start their own life cycle. 
An often occurrence in the kingdom, the hosts of the spiders often die as they remain in a vegetative state, unable to move due to the constant flow of venom from the spider nibbling its way towards the victim’s brain. When diagnosed, the best course of treatment is a dagger to the heart, and to burn the head of the body.
