Sword Spiders and Drow Dualing Pits

I just had the easiest time ever in the dualing pits. First Anomen took out the fighter and the cleric without any problem. This is nothing extraordinary, though. But then came the first mage fight where I had Edwin enter the pit. Edwin cast Spider Spawn and conjured up two Sword Spiders. I immediately let him cast the spell a second time and got two new swordies. The mage didn't get off a single spell before dying. In the two mage fights that followed, Edwin didn't get off a single spell either. The four swordies were left in the pit and killed each mage within a few seconds! I could hardly believe it - on the other hand, 5 attacks per round and spider makes 20 attacks per round! And how ironic for the drows to be killed by a surface dweller's spiders...

That is ironic.

I'd never tried Spider Spawn in the pits. I usually send a cleric into the second fight and have him/her summon skeleton warriors. They last through the rest of the fights and make them easy to win, too.

I guess the drow didn't want to attack the spiders.

What pit fights are you talking? I remember Shauaguin Prince, Beholder, but Fighter or Cleric?

Heh, i had a ez time in the dueling pit, send ja with her rhyan staff +4 and she whiped the fighter and cleric druid with no problem, she had two ring of regeneration and -10 ac so

then i had my kenshi/mu fight the mage, oh boy, it was pure murder, the kenshi class hadn't reactived yet, only level 13, dualed at 13, but anyway, it was pure murder i love the hmm what was that spell where u get those magic stone that u hurl , ah merserf's mini metore, i got a batch then i tensored transformed, along with stoneskin, and improv invisiablity, and owned their poor ass

and that's with a level 13 mage that has yet to level to 14 and reactive the kenshi, if the kenshi was activated, well it would had been pretty much one sided

Yes, that's the right one you're mentioning. Try the left one instead to fight the drows.

The best items for the pit fights are the Staff of the Magi, and Cloak of Mirroring. With the two of these, you can go invisible to prevent mage spells as well as attacks, as well as reflect enemy spells (The beholder went down almost instantaneously...
