Message: <blockquote data-quote="iserith" data-source="post: 7420005" data-attributes="member: 97077">More illumination fun at Friday night's Planescape session:The PCs were on a quest to rescue a wizard friend of their NPC ally, Wanda Curelight, who was trapped on the Infinite Staircase in an area claimed by a glabrezu that had taken some treasure off the PCs in the past as a toll. So they had good reason to go and get some payback in addition to helping Wanda.The Staircase is basically a bunch of platforms and stairs with plenty of opportunities for precipitously dropping from perilous heights if you're not careful. On one broken landing, the PCs encountered some spiders swarms on a web-and-stone bridge (of sorts) that Skaldi the yeti costume-wearing barbarian talked to and tried to convince them to let them pass unmolested. After a botched ability check, the spiders got the impression that the food that was offered was the PCs themselves, so combat was on. The excited motion of the spiders drew the attention of two giant spiders that were underneath the platform as well as The Exile Skein, a drider, who had made this area his lair after crawling through a portal from Menzoberranzan. Skaldi had a light spell on him from Wanda. The bard, Bo Low, had a torch lit.Anyway, the hillbilly wizard Robert Bob Roberts gave the paladin Carl Lagerbelly a snort of crystal haste. The self-proclaimed avatar of Tempus, now all hopped up, charged to the far side of the platform toward the darkness where the drider war lurking. The drider slinked away closer to the edge and then withdrew underneath the platform again. Carl, being human, could see nothing in the darkness and was blundering around. Bo Low, the insane dwarf clown (who may or may not have formed a posse at one time), was shouting at him not to fall off the platform, giving him directions on where to move and stand to avoid an almost certain death from falling. It then became a fun little game of the PCs trying to keep their light sources on either side of the platform as the party split up trying to fight all the spider-related monsters at the same time.Carl's view:[ATTACH]97491[/ATTACH]Bo Low's view:[ATTACH]97492[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
