My little spider friend helped a tough combat end in hilarity.

We’re at the tail end of the Drow civil war, and in order to reach the upper district, we had to teleport into a Drow household, which required me to be wearing a Drow matron’s ring, which among other things still contains her soul. She does not like us, does not like the daughter we worked with to see her dead, and would take over my body (Or try to) if I attuned it.

As we go through the house and are trying to leave, we are intercepted by some house guards, some Daegoloth, and finally the second daughter of the house who is pissed off and confused as to how and why we are there.

Things are a bit rough for our Rogue and Fighter, but we pull through. But in the last round of the combat, the daughter starts losing it and screams asking where her mother is.

I show her the ring, try and make vague talk about one of the sisters I am not working with, and she just starts losing it Azula style and sicks her remaining guards specifically on me at any cost.

One get’s stabbed in the ass by our Rogue, dealing 50 piercing and lightning damage to him without even needing a crit and killing him

The next comes for me but eats an Attack of Opportunity from the Barbarian, which lops off his legs and he bleeds out.

Then the daughter throughs out her best direct damage option at me…a 5th level Ray of Sickness, but thanks to my hidden spider buddy, I am immune to it, and her last moments are her looking down to see the Rogue got her with an Attack of Opportunity and she has a chunk missing from her torso.

The last enemy, the House Captain with 4hp left, looks at our kobold fighter, say’s he’s just going to just leave, doesn’t disengage and a crit from the fighter turns him into a large splatter on the wall.

      Throws. Her spell list seemed to be largely summoning, support and Insect Plague as an AoE, but the Plague hadn’t been doing much to me by luck, so she only had Ray of Sickness as a direct damage spell. And because of my little spider construct, I am immune completely to poison
