Spiderweb shield
A shield shaped as an artistic representation of a spiderweb, which acts like a normal shield but also grants its bearer resistance to damage from ranged weapon attacks. It is currently equipped by Vichthart.
This shield was first found in the catacomb beneath the Spire of Enchantment, where Suithrathus Luirmo was unable to identify it, only supposing that it was a student project or an item in the process of being enchanted. Not knowing if it's dangerous, Kham insists that Mira is kept from touching it as he instinctively try to do. Grokko obliges by standing between Mira and the shield but, misunderstanding the cause for concern, touches the shield anyway to determine if it will fit in the Bag of Holding. He finds that the shield is too large for the bag's 2-foot opening, but also feels that the item is warm to the touch, meaning it is likely already enchanted.
Mira argues that it may be useful in their efforts to stop the Knives of Mystra from detonating the ashfire oil underneath Kade Sirrine Kathedrale, which convinces Vichthart to collect the item, but instead of immediately equipping it, he lashes it to his backpack for later inspection.
The party later takes a short rest after retrieving the Obsidian Claw from the vault of the Acropolis, and before using it to enter the Spire of Abjuration. During this time, Vichthart focuses on the shield to determines its properties, and begins to use it instead of his previous shield.
