Lur Xanta is a spider in Grymforge during Act One. It can be found near the cages west of the waypoint with several other spiders and Murmath.

“

We do not turn on Father Murmath. But we do outgrow him. The fate of clan Lur lies with the Spider Queen!

Involvement

Act One

If approaching, the party can use  Speak with Animals to listen to the conversation between Xanta and the other spiders. Xanta is trying to convince the other spiders to leave Murmath and join the cult of Lolth. Depending on dialogue choices, the other spiders can attack Xanta, or be convinced to join the cult.

• I'd rather not get involved in your little coup.
• [RELIGION] I suppose the Order of the Soul Spiders would have room for you among their ranks. (DC 5)
• [INTIMIDATION] The Spider Queen doesn't suffer hesitation. I fear for anyone who resists her call. (DC 5)
• [BERSERKER] [INTIMIDATION] THE PRIEST IS WEAK. BECOME STRONG. (DC 5 )
• [PERSUASION] Among the Spider Queen's followers, you'd be revered as her physical manifestation. Honoured. Exalted. (DC 5)
• [OATH OF THE ANCIENTS] [PERSUASION] Being bound to serve Murmath spits in the face of natural order. It limits you. (DC 7)
• [OATH OF VENGEANCE] [PERSUASION] Why be bound to Murmath when you could be Lolth's avenging Justiciars? (DC 7)
• [OATH OF DEVOTION] [PERSUASION] Your duty is to each other, not Murmath. Embrace that, and power unlimited will be yours. (DC 7)
• [OATHBREAKER] [PERSUASION] You owe nothing to Murmath. Break your bonds, free yourselves. Become unstoppable. (DC 7)

Failing a check or choosing to not get involved results in Xanta being attacked by the other three spiders. Otherwise, the spiders are convinced and leave the Grymforge peacefully. Party members with the  Acolyte background subsequently gain the  Acolytes of the Demonweb Pits inspiration.

Killing each spider gives 40 XP and killing Murmath is worth 75 XP.
