My next destination is the part of the Cloakwood Forest inhabited by the Shadow Druid Enclave. The video concludes with me bringing Chelak's Body back to Tiber for 800xp. Now I explore the southwards portion of the area, disarming traps, and killing multiple groups of spiders with the same methods. The video concludes with me stepping back outside and killing a few more Huge Spiders. This will be Kivan's weapon for much of the game. The container behind her holds Chelak's body, as well as Spider's Bane (+2 Two-Handed Sword, Free Action on wielder). Centeol apparently doesn't want to live anymore, so then I walk up and kill her as well.Ĭenteol herself leaves behind a Wand of Frost. A double shot of Fireball from Imoen and an Oil of Fiery Burning from Khalid, both carefully placed a little behind Centeol, suffice to weaken the spiders and make killing them in close-up combat easier. Combat is inevitable, whereupon many spiders of various sorts will appear. Inside will be a hideous bloated creature named Centeol. I continue westwards, and find the entrance to a large cave. I thus find it prudent for Imoen to hold it in place with a Chromatic Orb. Sword Spiders don't cause poisoning, but they can attack multiple times per round. I continue westwards, and run into a Sword Spider. I conclude the video by going up the ravine, and bumping the north edge of the map in order to make the next area of the forest accessible. I now make for a narrow ravine that leads towards the northeast corner after Imoen disarms another trap. The scenario of danger that I described still plays out, but I survived precisely because I took every edge that I could. Once they close in, Imoen starts tagging them with single-target spells. Kivan scouts out their location, and then Imoen hits them with a Fireball from outside their fog of war. I start with a tried and true tactical theme. But a group of them can lead to multiple party members getting webbed and poisoned. A single Giant Spider isn't especially tough. Imoen takes her time to disarm them, and to lead any Ettercaps she comes across back to the waiting arms of the party.Ī little further west still will be a trio of Giant Spiders, which are now enhanced in SCS with web attacks that can paralyze a single party member. During the first such sequence, it is becoming obvious that a LOT of Spiders are heading my way, so Imoen grabs the opportunity to damage many of them with a Fireball.įurther west is an area that has both a few Ettercaps, and plenty of web traps. The moment either a spider or an Ettercap comes within view, she immediately regroups with the party. Imoen activates her book, and treads slowly forward looking for traps. I cross the ford and meet a man named Tiber, who wants me to find his brother, Chelak, who's gone missing. So I'm wondering if anyone has first-hand experience.Īlso, if it's at all possible, I want something that won't immediately drive off every spider in the area.I arrive at the next part of the Forest, and am immediately attacked by a pair of Phase Spiders that can teleport around. And will it work on the eggs? Google seems to reveal a number of different answers, but some seem kind of dangerous (burning?). I've seen a lot of stuff recommending their use, but not a lot on the right procedure, as it were. Also, there's not much on the proper protocol for using them-mix in water and squirt it at them? Rub it around their living space? I know eucalyptus oil is easy to come by (I can just walk down to the pharmacy and buy some), but it's more dangerous than citrus oil, I think. I've done some searching already, and I've seen people recommend citrus and eucalyptus oils, though they seem to vary on whether or not it kills them or simply drives them off. So I am looking for a way to get rid of black widow spiders and their eggs that is pet and people-safe. Also, since they're near my equipment, I get a mild case of the jibblies myself (I like spiders, but am wary about the more venomous ones). I have reason to be concerned about my pets, since my cat tries to play with insects and arachnids of all stripes with abandon and has been stung/bitten by several things for her troubles, and we're getting a dog in a few weeks. And since there's eggs, there will be (or are) a lot more of them. They're not exactly being clandestine, and they're in fairly close proximity to places my family hangs out. There's a couple adults and an egg sac, though I can't tell if it's hatched or not. Recently, I've unearthed a nest of black widow spiders living on my back porch, near my exercise equipment. Figure this is as good a place as any to ask.
