37. Second Cloakwood Sector (West of the first Cloakwood sector)

  • Almost immediately after entering this sector, you'll meet Tiber, who will give you a quest to rescue his brother, Chelak, who entered the forest with the sword Spider's Bane to wipe out the nest there.

    Map of the second Cloakwood forest sector, which is where you can find a leader of the spiders infesting the Sword Coast.

  • There are web traps set by ettercaps all over this sector. Ensure you are actively looking for traps with any thief characters in your party. Often there are spiders or ettercaps waiting near traps to pounce on unwary adventurers. Sending a character up front (especially one equipped with a potion of freedom) works well too - if that character triggers a trap, the other party members can provide covering missile fire.

  • Just to the northwest of the middle of this sector, near a sword spider, is a cave entrance, and inside the cave is Centeol (36 hp, level eleven), who has managed to kill Tiber's brother. A couple nice fireball spells when you first enter the room will help to clear out the spiders. Stinking cloud and entangle spells work well too. Centeol is vulnerable to spells that normally affect humanoids, such as command word: die or hold person, and you have to take him out quickly to prevent him from summoning more spiders. In the lair is the body of Chelak, a ring of folly, and a two-handed sword +2: Spider's Bane. There's no way to restore Chelak, so just take him to his brother to claim your reward.

NPCs in this sector: Centeol and Tiber

Enemies in this sector: Ettercaps and huge, giant, phase, and sword spiders

Magic items in this sector: Ring of folly, two-handed sword +2: Spider's Bane
