All Of Our Yesterdays
Whenever I need to chill out I beam up...
This time it was....STAR TREK (TOS): ALL OF OUR YESTERDAYS
http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/All_Our_Yesterdays_(episode)
Kirk, Spock, and McCoy are trapped in a planet's distant pasts, where Spock finds "love" with an exiled woman.
"I heard the spirit talk to him. He answered...and did call it "Bones"!"
- Constable, relating Kirk calling out to McCoy
"Witch!! Witch!! They'll burn ya!"
- Mort, in her cell
"Captain's log, stardate 5943.9, subjective time. People of this time believe in witches, and witchcraft is what I've been accused of. Five witnesses heard McCoy's voice speak to me and thought it was an evil spirit. From what I know of witchcraft trials, I don't have much chance unless I can get to the prosecutor."

Tygart Spider Revision
A little less deadly?
Spider
of Ygiiz Group, Small, Devious, Planar
Grapple Attack (see the Cold Grasp move)
6 HP, 1 Armor
Special Qualities: Grapple Attack
Among the first beings drawn through Ogo’s starry portal, the spiders are not arachnids in the true sense. They most resemble enormous six-legged ticks, the size of large hounds. The Spiders are perfectly black, so dark that they reflect no light whatsoever, appearing as only the absence of any color, as if reality itself had been cut away in the Spider’s form. The Spiders wait for the PCs to enter the darkened garden before attacking—springing through the air and bearing a single victim to the ground. The touch of the Spiders is as cold as the void, searing targets with frostbite. The Spiders tears freezing chunks out of its victim, permitting a swarm of local natural spiders to swarm into the wound, eager to please their extra planar allies. The Spiders of Ygiiz makes a final attack, crushing the spiders infesting the wound, releasing a flood of toxins. Victims will fall into a coma and struggle to regain consciousness.
Instinct: Serve Ygiiz, the Demon Spider-Mother
- Scurry higher to attack from above
- Focus Attack on single target
- Use normal spiders to distract prey

Logan Howard's Superior Spiders!
Here’s my attempt. I turned the grapple attack into a move and changed your monster moves so that they are giving the GM additional options rather than doubling up what the attack does. That’s something I learned from +Ray Otus. -Logan Howard on the Dungeon World Tavern website
