Luckily I found a way - I had a few points in UAI and was carrying scrolls of Haste and Tenser's Transformation. I used these and also cast a spell of Bull's Strength for good measure, before taking the spider down with a few lucky hits. I kept the other henchmen well back of course
I also had scrolls of Chain Lightning and Blade Barrier which I used for the end boss and her acolytes. UAI and high level scrolls worked like a charm
Unfortunately the spider is only worth about 400-500xp and had no other treasure apart from the healing potions I found in the nearby container. Still, I'm glad I found a way of beating it with my main PC.
