A17 (Prison)

Biggin, here, is replaced by two large monstrous spiders and a number of spider swarms to harass the party. While it's possible to dash in, open the cage, gather up the prisoners and drag them out without killing all the spiders, the party certainly won't have an easy time of it. I suggest the following encounter for a party of five adventurers (plus Shalelu):

• 2 Blade Spiders
• 4 Bloodweb Spider Swarms

Total: 2,200 xp (Level 9 Encounter)

All of the prisoners here are left at 0 hit points, are unconscious, and are out of healing surges.
