# 85_20210717 Hunting the Ice Phase Spider ## Session Summary We went to Neverdeath and sent Maestro and Snowflake out into the Protector's Enclave with the bell, trying to attract the phase spider and lure it over to Neverdeath. However, they heard another bell ringing across the bridge, near Castle Never. They ran back to tell us, and Keren teleported us to the Castle in time to see the ice phase spider rush over the bridge. We attacked it, this time armed with knowledge of its abilities, potions of resistance, and its truename. The fight looked to be won, but in the process, several of the frozen eggs on its back fell off and hatched, becoming spiderlings that attacked us. Ka'ira was on the receiving end of one of the spider's attacks, and in a fit of pain, lost control of the dretches she held within her. ^summary ## Recap of last session ![[84_20210711 Prepping for the Phase Spider#^summary]] --- ## Log Wands I could use for the [[Ice Phase Spider]]: - Master's wand of illusory ambush (4 psychic damage while affected, -2 to penalty to attack rolls) - Master's Wand of Cloud of Daggers (force damage per turn) - Master's Wand of Eldritch Blast (force) - Master's Wand of Eyebite (invisible to target, combat advantage) - Wand of Inevitability (+2 bonus to attack rolls) - Wand of Psychic Ravaging (eyebite, force) - Wand of Swarming Force (cloud of daggers, force) - Wand of the Hunting Hound (ignore partial cover) - Force Wand - Wand of Swarming Force [[Potion of Feyspeak]] for 5 minutes. Go to large open area near wall. Lots of grass, little stones. Follow bell. I'll heal you with fire, and your eggs too. Maestro and Snowflake leave to ring the bell, but a second bell sounds in the distance, seemingly towards [[Castle Never]]. I send another message to the phase spider to tell it that it's going the other way. Keren teleports us back to Castle Never. We see the spider coming back across the bridge.
