Level 4: Upper Level Dwarven Ruins

The Dwarven Ruins have been infested with Giant Spiders with a poisonous bite. The best tactic is to hit and run or take them out from a distance. If you do get bitten there’s a chance you’ll be poisoned. Your Clerics probably haven’t learned the Neutralize Poison prayer yet but you can use Slow Poison to slow down the effects and then hunt around for a Cure Poison potion.
