The team collected the bejeweled mirror frame and returned to the elves on the lake shore to collect their reward.  They then stripped all the gems from the frame and headed north toward the mine they’d heard about. 

Outside the mine they met a gnome named Vissaryon and his eight dwarven miners.  They learned the dwarves had broken into an older mine complex and a natural cave complex.  Within they encountered some orcs.  Then, the orcs stopped troubling them after they accidentally released some kind of black monstrosity from deeper in the caverns.  Vissaryon suspected it is a type of spider, and they have offered a reward if the party will kill it and even more if they will rescue any missing gnomes and dwarves. 

The team set off into the darkness and roamed around a bit.  They saw the spider’s glowing blue eyes in the darkness but were unable to catch up.  They came across a cocooned orc and learned the orcs worship the spider but it is now free due to the miners accidentally busting it free from its lair.  The orc, of the Nyy-akk tribe, agreed to leave the party alone if they left it alone.  The group went off in search of the spider in its lair.  They found a ledge leading to another tunnel they had previously overlooked.  Stellara led the way up into the chamber and was immediately killed by something!
