Legends & Lore
CoMMoN: Crypt spiders feast upon the corpses found in tombs.
UNCoMMoN: Crypt spiders devour bone marrow.
RARE: Crypt spiders use a powerful acid to digest bone marrow,
and they can spray this acid at aggressors when threatened.
obSCURE: Some say that crypt spiders gain the memories of
those they have eaten. Ancient texts allude to a rare alchemical
formula that calls for the brain of a crypt spider, which may
allow the imbiber to inherit those memories.
Treasure
The crypt spider’s full acid bladder can be harvested and
sold to the right buyer for 20 gp. The problem in collecting
these, however, is that the spiders tend to evacuate their acid
bladders as a last-ditch defense.
Hooks
Professor Pendrake approaches the PCs with a
proposition. He recently unearthed a major discovery
outside the city in which the PCs are currently located.
He has located the tomb of a legendary local hero.
The trouble is that the entire tomb is infested with
crypt spiders, more than the good professor and his
assistants can handle. Time is of the essence on
this mission, for there are many other parties interested
in finding the treasure supposedly located in
the tomb. It perturbed Pendrake to leave the site under
the watchful eye of his assistant Lynus, and he is now
eager to return to the ruin.
I honest ly didn’t know
Lynus was afraid of spiders.
I don’t think he’ll ever
forgive me.
