The heroes first came in contact with the Cult of the Spider-God during the amnesia of Dionysos. After leaving Pteion, he eventually made his way to Yezud. There, he struck a deal of some sort with the high priests. Dionysos was given two Spawn of Dagoth Hill, Luba and Basil, in exchange for a load of gold and a trade permit to Stygia. He was married to Luba, with Basil provided as a personal alchemist.

Although the personality of “Master Bhaal” changed drastically in Shem, the two devil-blooded remained in the company of Dionysos. Luba remained as a close contact with the Spider Cult and eventually became a priestess. In Shadizar, the cult provided shelter, contacts and information for the heroes in their struggle against Zevras and the masks.

Luba plans to build a temple of the Spider-God in Nemedia and expand the cult’s reach there. Whether this will turn out to be a boon or a bane remains to be seen.
