The team decided to go up in the keep and try and neutralize the towers to aid in their eventual withdrawal. They went up one flight and found an officers’ quarters and a door locked from their side. Inside some chests they found Lolth prayer scrolls, coins, and some white mushrooms. They slid a daylight coin under the door and peeked through the keyhole to find a large but seemingly empty room. They threw open the door and discovered a drider around the corner! They shut the door back. And locked it. And walked away.
They went up another flight of steps and found a large table and chairs and a sign warning them to leave the food. Another door stood before them, and detect magic revealed moderate abjuration. Helg cast dispel magic and Zzyym could tell the magic was negated. They opened the door to find a short hallway with two more closed doors. While examining those doors, a phase spider materialized and bit Crimson repeatedly! He was poisoned, and the spider lurked in the ethereal plane while the party tried to figure out how to fight it. Ruby Rue was able to see the spider since he was blinking between the material and ethereal planes and was able to direct the party on the spider’s location. Zzyym and Intevar tried to lure the spider back into their realm by torching the nest they found behind one of the doors. Instead, the spider waited patiently as the poison ravaged Crimson’s body. Scraggy remembered some of his arcane training and stories he had read about such spiders and recalled force magic can harm them. Zzyym and Helg unleashed magic missiles and spiritual weapon while Ruby continued trying to bite and rend. The injured spider then fled down through the floor and disappeared!
The team was able to give Crimson a potion of neutralize poison and stop its horrific progression.
