B’Luthyrr-Orbb (Bow of the Spider), +2 Longbow

This +2 longbow and quiver set was originally crafted for the Drow Malfeem Despana, the favored Master of Arms for House Despana and consort to Matron Ardulace before the house’s fall from Lloth’s grace centuries ago. It was lost for some time before being rediscovered. The bow appears to be formed two spider legs joined at a web wrapped handle and jointed partway down each arm with the string being spider silk. The bow can be folded at the joints to be packed into the quiver which expands to accommodate it and springs open when drawn. Once per short rest the wielder may cast Hunters Mark as a bonus action which lasts for 24hrs and does not require concentration provided the bow remains attuned to the creature that cast it.

The quiver is woven of spider silk and adheres to the wearer but can be removed or attached with a mental command as a bonus action. Within the quiver live an unknown number of tiny magical spiders that change ammunition placed into it by grafting themselves to the head of the arrows making it appear that the arrow heads are made from spiders with all 8 legs with razor sharp edges becoming the point of the arrow. Each arrow gains a +2 to damage but only when fired from B’Luthyrr-Orbb, additionally three arrows become Web arrows that on a hit explode with sticky webs (see web spell PHB pg 287 with the following changes) in 10’ cube centred on the target and last for 1 min with a dex save DC of 14. Three more arrows become poison arrows that on a hit deal an additional 2d10 poison damage and require a con save DC 14 or the target becomes poisoned for 10 minutes. The attuned character knows automatically which arrows are which and how many are left. Fresh ammunition is changed over the course of a long rest with depleted web and poison arrows being converted from the regular ammunition in this time also, the quiver able to contain 24 arrows.

Should the bow and quiver be separated by more than 60’ the bow string and quiver disintegrate and a swarm of incorporeal green and white spiders race from the location of the quiver to the bow at a speed of 30 and do not stop until they reach it. Once they reach the bow the arms fold in and the spiders begin to weave a new quiver between them which takes 1 hour. In this time the bow lays dormant. Any attempt to use the bow or remove the quiver before it is finished results in the process starting again.

Proficiency with a Longbow allows you to add your proficiency bonus to the attack roll for any attack you make with it.
