Deep within the bowels of the earth, the Vault of the Spider Queen houses the infamous artifact, the Egg of Lolth. It's ebon surface pulses with the abyssal energies of the Demon Queen of Spiders, corrupting the minds of anyone foolish enough to draw near. Who among you is bold enough to seize this powerful relic? 

Blessing of the Spider Queen: 1/turn a dungeoneer that moves into a space containing a spider symbol immediately gains a blessing. Green symbols confer a random blessing, while the red symbol confers a blessing of the dungeoneer’s choice. Blessings persist until death or a new blessing is gained.

1. Whip of Agony: Gain threatening reach 5 (with all melee attacks)
2. Spider Climb: Gain a climb speed equal to your speed +2. You are unaffected by demon webs 
3. Child of the Night: Gain total concealment (-5 to melee and ranged attacks made against you)
4. Lolth's Sting: Gain a +10 bonus to damage rolls
5. Spell Resistance: Gain a +5 bonus to saving throws
6. Faerie Fire: Gain combat advantage against all enemies
7. Evasion: Gain a +5 bonus to defenses against area and close attacks
8. Bat Wings: Gain a fly speed of 5

Bridges: The rickety wooden bridges are difficult terrain.

Cave Walls: The walls of the cave rise 20 ft. to the ceiling above (DC 10 athletics to climb).

Demon Webs (hazardous terrain): These webs are infested with thousands of poisonous abyssal spiders. Squares containing webs (including squares directly above) are difficult terrain. If a dungeoneer is knocked prone on a square containing webs, they are immediately grabbed (DC 15 acrobatics or athletics to escape) and take ongoing 5 poison damage (save ends).

Egg of Lolth: The fabled artifact begins the match resting on the altar at the centre of the map. An adjacent dungeoneer can retrieve it with a minor action. Once the egg is claimed, it can only be released upon that dungeoneer's death. If a dungeoneer carrying the egg is dropped to 0 or fewer hit points, the egg immediately returns to the altar.
