In my case, Astarion was busy making one of his famous snarky comments when BOOM !! My spider familiar made him all squishy.

That was one priceless moment.

I also learned that from then on, if I was doing any climbing I need to swap my spider for the raven until I finish the up/down stuff, and then swap back to spider-dude.

Planning to try and drop spider on a goblin or three next time I hit their camp.
