Phardril Lice-Drilloth nodded to Krayt and said; "It goes nothing against my oath that spiders behave in their normal activity even if I led them through minion to become trapped. However so far as I know this hivemind is more intelligent than just being mere swarm. It will not be fooled by simple strategies as dig tunnels and your running in. You either get full swarm after you or none depending how well you can bluff it off."<br/><br/>Then matron mother looks on Shan'sail and replies; "Spiders are highly resistant to venoms, they after all envenom their own prey which they need to eat. However I know dispersing the swarm weakens the hive mind and somepoint the hivemind status ends but it's uncertain can I keep the spiders at all together or do I need permanently keep them separated. As usual when such swarm forms it seeks to reform itself earliest opportunity. I would prefer remove them completely and perhaps make them attack and appear on another house than mine, make that house get on serious badlight from the public.<br/><br/>However I can also try to rebuke the swarm, it's treated as single spider entity with rather enormous power and so spells and powers which affect the singular mind also works now that it has hive mind. You just need target it right to center of the swarm. However I am also ready expose our house present crisis to public if it what it takes to deal with the swarm without me forsaking my oaths. As if I defeat this challenge from Lolth and succeed convince public about it, then it would make our house look strong."
