Spiders Nest

Where the ground gives way under a treasure hunter it is not always the gnomes who have been digging. Some holes are older, and their walls are grey with web from floor to roof, so that a torch shows a long tunnel and the next turn of it and no more. Spiders live there, great ones and small, and the small ones spin all day and very carefully. They keep their larder along the walls, and there are shapes bound in the web that were travellers once. Bundles of thread lie where they were dropped, and the weavers make silk of it and do not ask where it was found.

Details

• No road leads to one. Dig for the treasure of a treasure map: some treasures are a chest, and others open a hole that drops the digger into a spiders' nest or a gnome burrow.
• Any level may go. The nest is made on the spot, and its spiders are of the level of the one who dug it open.
• Bring a weapon, and room in the pack for thread.
• Bring a way home. 'recall' leaves the nest; there is no stair back up, and a nest once left should not be counted on to be there again.
