Just had this action come up when I logged in:
"The Spider-Council"
"Excuse us. We need to do a tiny bit of record-keeping. What happened beneath the Silken Chapel?"
I had found that when I played through quite some time ago, that storyline ended abruptly and somewhat disappointingly. (especially as it seemed to prevent me from obtaining an Accomplishment I encountered elsewhere.) I answered the question honestly, but with the way the action is worded... perhaps I'll have another chance to properly encounter the Spider-Council once more?
*hope!*

I like to imagine my character being ambushed by a journalist while on his morning constitutional and saying "Oh yes... the giant spider thing. Yes, now that you mention it I do remember something like that, I think. Um, I'm pretty sure I killed it. Pretty sure. Did I set a fire and run away? No... no, I don't think so. But to be honest it's so hard to keep track of all the monsters one encounters and the fires one sets, don't you find? Ahaha. AHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA! Ahem. Excuse me, will you?"

I can confirm that there are either at least twenty-two Spider-Councils in Wolfstack, or two, of which one is an incredible escape artist.

An incredible escape artist, whose escapological skills are second only to their lack of strategic thinking. Getting captured once might be considered unfortunate. Twice, careless. I'm not sure what adjective I'd use for twenty-one times, but I think exclamation marks could justifiably be used.

Got this message as soon as I got back to London. Pretty sure I killed the first Spider-Council, but then I also caught some alive for Mr. Inch, and they all kind of merge together after that. Figuratively, of course. I'd rather not think of whether a Hepta-Council is possible or not.

I chose with my character's personality in mind. He never was very dangerous in the beginning, and a spider-council is... well, very dangerous. So I deciced that Emain fled, scared by the thing and judging that getting out of the building fast was the sure way to stay alive. n_n'

I couldn't remember, and decided to go with "Set a fire and ran away", because I thought it would be a better lead in for whatever continuation (I hope!) will be coming.

I also just received this query. It arrived (strangely) directly after I finished inviting a friend to the Private Rooms in the House of Chimes. After the episode, I spent some minute trying to find a reference to how high Arachnologist could currently go, for mine is now 4.

I answered (honestly, and that was quite a bit of journal-searching) that I killed the thing.
I did notice that the success result for slaying it indicated that there might well be other spider-councils out there. It will be interesting to see where this is going.

Cool, thank you. Was tour Arachnologist quality updated? Or any qualities, in fact
That option sets Arachnologists to 3.

It's a good thing the first option included "you don't remember," because I absolutely didn't!

The short version is that you were poking around Wolfstack Docks looking into where all the sorrow spiders were coming from and why they were stealing eyes. You found out. In the process, you came face to face with a Spider-Council, and had the options of killing it, running like the blazes, or trying to talk your way out (which never works). Either way you've likely disrupted the ecology of the Docks by messing with a major sorrow spider nest.

You can change what echo you're starting from in the url: I got lucky and my killing the Spider council was only 2 pages back from 500 (hence 520) - http://fallenlondon.storynexus.com/Profile/Parelle?fromEcho=520
