General[edit]
The Spider Symposium is a carousel in The Singing Mandrake, released with Mr Chimes' Grand Clearing-Out. It is a variable length activity, and uses Chelicerae Clicked in Applause as a progress quality. Each point of these have an assumed value of 0.1 Echoes, as well as a bonus of 1.5 
for turning them in, although this takes 3 actions in addition to gaining the progress qualities. Any surplus points of Chelicerae Clicked in Applause you may have are exchanged for a secondary reward. The activity focuses on 
Persuasive.
The Academic Mood serves as a randomiser, similar to 
The Airs of London.
This carousel is one of only three sources of Lost Research Assistants.
The symposium cannot be exited without claiming a reward, making the Opportunity Deck unavailable during this carousel.
