So the group pushed forward coming to a slop the headed down. As they decended the realized that the floor had been coated with something and started loosing their traction and slid down the slope. Once in the room where the slope ended, looking around it looked as though all of the walls had images of shadows on them. Suddenly a giant spider came out of no where, literally, and snatched Barnin up were he stood, Barnin got an attack off, but it wasn’t enough to deter the beast from disappearing with him.
Barnin continued to struggle, but in his current state, he was little more than a child in the arms of the Shadow Spider. They seemed to be traveling incredibly quickly through what looked somewhat like the cairn they entered, then they weren’t there anymore, and he was be unceremoniously dumped in what looked like the spiders nest. Before Barnin could protest the spider was gone, leaving him alone to ponder what to do next.
In less than a minute the spider returned to Eligos and Donner. And attempted to make an accord with them. If they dealt with the Mage that was pestering him, we could have our friend back. They explained that they were just here for Allustan, and described him, the spider told them that Allustan was just in the next room trapped. The quickly hurried to help Allustan.
As they entered the next room the saw that Allistan was indeed trapped, in what seemed to be a giant sphere of lightning. After a short brain storming, Donnor came up with the idea to cast spell immunity on himself so that the lightning wouldn’t harm him. As he entered the sphere, he did so very cautiously, still not sure that the lightning was a spell effect, in which case the spell he cast to protect himself would have been of little use. But he entered the sphere and wasn’t harmed, and as soon as he touched Allistan to pull him out of the sphere the globe disapated. And Allustan began to regain his ability to move. Barnin healed him just incase he was injured from the lightning globe, but after a few minutes he seemed to be fine. After being updated on their current situation, he agreed to stay behind with the spider while the group left the cairne to recover their strength, and to get Barnin back into good health before they would be able to help the spider deal with this undead wizard.
