The Webbed Entrance~
Sticky, sticky, sticky! The ground is cluttered with leaves,
decayed remains of webbed crickets, beetle, rats, dogs, and even
humans. You begin to wonder about what lies ahead. The air is
damp here, and even the little light that shines through the
canopy seems to be absorbed into the webbing.

The Webby Passage~
You find that footing here is very good, almost too good. The
limbs are coated with cobwebs and seem unusually strong for tree
branches. Paths lead in four directions. The eastward path goes
down a bit.

The Wasp Hive~
Drones scuttle about in this room. The cells on the walls are
honeycomb in shape and many of the maggots and wasps you see have
fang-marks on their bodies. You sense some order in their markings.

A Split In The Path~
As always, there is a split in the road. One road is strewn with
cricket feelers. The other is well-kept and suitable for smooth
travelling. The webbing that was prevalent in earlier rooms is almost
non-existant now.

A Fuzzy Tree Limb~
You are on a 'fuzzy' tree limb. Interesting, since the branches
seem to have 'hairs' sprouting from its bark. As you look closer
you see millions of aphids covering each limb.

It seems the inhabitant of this place does not web her victims,
as evidenced by the remains before you. The area is cluttered with
desiccated corpses, apparently bitten but unwebbed, and drained of
their life juices.

throws them out at her leisure.

Stranger still. Your feet get a real firm grip on the spiderline.
You are above a deep ravine. This line connects you between two trees.
Below you can see a prismatic web with lots of animal bones caught in it:
some bear and small deer bones in fact. No human skeletons are visible
(yet).

anymore, but disjointed make-shift silken made shafts, sticky to the
touch, and webby in texture. This is another world it would appear.

A Leader Strand~
This strand is weightier, more sturdy. It shimmers as you step on
it. You are definitely not in the Midgaardian realms anymore. Just
where you are you can't tell. It feels like you're moving through
ether. You can still get back down to more surer lands.

A playpen of sorts, with maggots of wasps and other baby
vermin lying about. You feel that humans have been played with
here too, and eaten later. You sense that the maker of this
place has an appetite for dragon meat, and uses this room as a
breeding area.

insects, pegasi, and dragon wormkins -- navigate the dangerous
passages of the web. Exits go in many directions.
