This is post #4 of what began as a three part series inspired by the fictional work Ol’ Cob’s Webs, the Spell as well as Eruditio de Sodalitas des Occultus Aranea, the Mythos tome which describes the history of how the forbidden knowledge first came to man’s attention. – KO
Cob's Web Guardian in Cobweb Form
The casting of Ol’ Cob’s Webs summons these Cob’s Web Guardian creatures to lie in wait while they perform the task of guarding a specific item or location. Once triggered, a Guardian will transform and hold an individual fast until further commands are given by the summoner. If the command is to feed, the guardian will consume the creature they have grasped in a horrific fashion. If the command is to release, the guardian is also released from servitude and leaves the plane of existence. As summoned entities, these nightmarish creatures are tied to the caster; should the summoner die, the spell will be broken and the creatures will leave this plane of existence.

| Description: In their Cobweb form, Guardians appear as little more than thick cobwebs and dust. Guardians are always covering an object or a location they were summoned to protect. |
Description: In their Spidery-Hand form, Guardians appear as bony hands with elongated digits fashioned of the legs of large spiders. The backs of what would be described as the hands hold a myriad of lifeless insectoid eyes. Their mouths are lined with needle-like teeth. |
