This
long sword of black adamantine alloy was made by Aractos, a very high-powered
drow Fighter/Mage/Cleric who was a follower of Lloth. He had many a spider
servants and made this sword to help better keep his spidery servants
"In Hand". It was unfortunate that he died by a female drow assassin,
possibly because he was getting too powerful for the female drow
clerics taste, however his sword lives on.
The
sword is fashioned of black adamantine alloy and thus exceptionally resistance
to harm (extra +2 on saves above in additional to anything else). Is has
on either side of the hilt a black spider whose mouth is pointed
towards the blade. The mouth emits a web down both sides of the entire
length of the blade to the tip. The spiders are made of pure obsidian and
the web is of pure silver.

INT: 12
Ego: 13
Alignment: none
Communication: none
ABILITIES:
When
held in hand grants the owner a +1 to all Poison saving throws. ·
The sword must however drain a victim's bodily fluids (just like a spider
feeds) to refuel itself or "feed" if you will. To do this the owner
must impale a victim with the sword whereas the sword starts draining
throughout the blade and into the spider (this in not seen unless Detect
Magic spell is employed). The whole process takes 1d6+2 Rounds where
the victim may try to fight for freedom in the usual manner. The sword
must feed at least once a week or it will lose all powers, becoming
just a +1 weapon until it feeds. Each day after it feeds its ego
increases by +1 until it feeds! If the sword takes control of the owner
it will feed and not care where it gets it from.
Minor powers:
It gives the owner the ability to Spider
Climb (movement 7) at will
It can also employ a Web spell at 13
th level once per week for its owner.
