which spider hive you refering to?

Protection from poison, Fireball spells (or the wand) but be careful in aiming that thing, you can lose a party member that way as well.

Use Cloudkill-instant death

I save and make sure i got lots of slow poison spells ready.. as well if you have any create monster spells... focus on the spider queen first and kill her... if you use entagle on her spiders helps a little.

Then just kick some butt. heal lots and use that slow poison.

The easy way is put your mage in front with a t formation, before you go in cast all spells that protect you, cast ice cone and have another person summons animals. the cone kills about 1/3 spiders, than magic missle pai,na to death and attack her with tank to. she walks up to your mage and tries to cast but gets interupted because you are attacking her so she protects your mage while she gets her ass kicked by the time shes dead get rid fo the rest of the spiders and get the pale green ioun stone in the center.

I had my fighter with Red Dragon armor on advance into the room. He's practically immune to fire. I cast two fireballs, one on either side of him, and most of the spiders were dead. Mopped up the rest.

You could also cast cleric spell Protection from fire on someone, and do the same strategy. Make sure the person has low AC and good poison resistance.

Cloudkill works as well.

There are three people up the top left which burst into spiders, and another person off to the right which does the same.

Simply launch one fireball at the top three before they burst, and dialogue initiates. As soon as they burst, the fireball is right there and boom... no spiders. Except for the bunch that came from the guy on the right, but hey, who can't beat them?

Very simple area, no need for protection spells or anything. Just run in there and clean em up!

Maybe, a "change area" strategy may help:
1. Let the spiders pop up.
2. Leave the the nest. Some spiders may follow you but not all of them. Kill them. Repeat until there are too many spiders in the nest.
I haven't tested it (I was always enough strong to kill them all in the nest).
The spiders have only a few HP, so Fireball, Sunfire, or Cloudkill sould work safely. Well, you get harmed but the spiders should be dead.

Give a tank the "Periapt of Proof against Poison" and let him squash the spiders...
