If ever there was a type of monster that should go "squish" when struck by the mighty blades of the PCs, it would seem to be the lowly small-sized giant spider. Spider minions, attack!

Crab Spider Tactics
Crab spiders prefer to drop from walls or ceilings onto their victims, then swarm over them.
I was thinking about doing a few separate levels of spider minions, kind of like the Angel of Valor write-up in the Monster Manual on page 16, but I don't really need those at the moment. Maybe later.
