1. Entrance
When approaching the entrance d4 Arachas cultists will
try to stop the players from entering. The entrance is
dripping in old spiderwebs.

2. Crystal Cave
Obsidian crystals are growing here. Players can make a
STR save to obtain one - take Injured condition on failure.

3. Arachas’ Chamber
If players have not yet encountered Arachas, there is a
100% chance she will be here waiting for them. There are
three mouse children tied up in spiderwebs here. Searching
will reveal 2 treasures.

Defeating Arachas will allow players to harvest a vial of

spider venom. Anyone drinking it will have their DEX
reduced to 1.

Roll for an encounter every time the players enter a new

chamber. Re-roll duplicates.
