A Dangerous Brew

Journal progression
Just south near the Harvest Festival of Little Grainwater, I came upon a quirky alchemist named Melvin Greyr. He wants me to venture into a cobwebbed thicket off the side of the road just south of the festival in search of parts from venomous spiders that reside there.
The man is obviously trying to fool reckless festival goers to do his dangerous work for him, but my curiosity got the better of me, so I agreed to fetch the spider parts for him.
He requested 6 especially hairy spider legs, and 3 of their eggs. When it comes to the eggs, I should look for a dark cave within the thicket, where the creatures have likely made their nest.
I’ve gathered the 6 hairy spider legs and 3 spider eggs the alchemist requested. I should return the spider parts to him at his cauldron just south of the Little Grainwater festival site.
The Little Grainwater harvest festival alchemist turned the spider parts I brought to him into a questionable looking green sludge, then packed it away into a box. He’s now asking me to deliver the box to someone called Iris Raven, who’s staying at the Singing Sparrow Inn in southern Haywind.
Does the whole situation seem a bit shady? Perhaps, but I’m told I’ll be rewarded once I make the delivery.
The less I know, the better I guess - the brew I can make use of.
