Path
Detailed Walkthrough
Before you can enter the main part of the Jabal Grotto, you must progress through the quest A Web of Terror, started by talking with Centurion Kanum in the Jabal Hills encampment. After getting through the magical barrier, you will want to take the southwest path from the main chamber. You will have to fight your way through a Druid and a few spiders. After rounding the bend, you will see an offshoot being guarded by a Monstruous Spider and many Bloodcrawlers. After destroying them, you will find a lootable corpse among the dead. Here you find the Love Letters from Lady Leanna. When you are once again able to leave the grotto, make your way to Freetown to find Lady Leanna.
The Lady will be wandering around near the middle of town. Her attitude is less than cordial, and she immediately accuses you of attempting to blackmail her when presented with the letters.
