As they leave, Alzar heads into his OtherSpace for a few minutes to take a quick assessment of his items. Suspecting Air based forces, he looks at potential protections or ways of dealing with them. He grabs a potion of Elemental Form, Scroll of Protection vs Elementals, and that’s about it. Not a lot of anti-electric, anti-air, or anti-elemental stuff here.
A few more miles rolls by and as they do, a trio of giant winter spiders led by a frost giant. Alzar prepares spells as the giant spiders breathe large snowy webs at him. His Ring of Free Action keeps him from being tied down, and he takes 8, 11, and 10 from them – 29 damage total. The giant flings a boulder at him and misses (Cloak of Displacement) -
50/79
Alzar doesn’t need to cast his best magic spells to blow through this encounter. Instead he casts Evard’s Black Tentacles and 26 tentacles launch from the ground to grab and secure the spiders and the giant. They take some minor damage and are tied down. It’ll take a few turns to deal with all of those tentacles.
Alzar then grabs a small bone from his belt and casts the 2nd level spell Blastbones on it and launches it at them. The combination of the blast and the Tentacles badly wounds them. The spiders have died, and Alzar secures the Giant with the tentacles, which hit him some more. He agrees to tell Alzar what he knows for his freedom. He was hired by the master of the Spindle to guard in a couple of weeks ago. The Master is a great, noble, giant Efreet. Alzar laughs. An Efreet with djinni as its servants? That controls a great giant cyclone? Hardly! He frees the giant and shoken up, he gathers it’s things and flees.
