20 = "You walk through a narrow gap in a crumbling stone wall. It is covered with webs, woven by the giant spiders you see to the north. The huge arachnids move around purposefully, carrying around items in sacks woven from their webs.";
21 = "Strangely, the spiders don't seem unfriendly. In fact, they immediately start talking about you in friendly, high-pitched voices! You can't make out much of what they say, but they seem to think you're _Cute!_ Others disagree, thinking you're _Neat!_";
22 = "You start to feel very confused.";
23 = "There is a small pool of viscous milky-white fluid in the middle of this chamber.";
24 = "";
25 = "You find a hole in the floor. It's probably too narrow for a human but just wide enough for an aranea.";
26 = "You block the hole with heavy rocks, so that aranea can't sneak in and pester the friendly spiders anymore.";
27 = "You try to climb down the hole. You don't get far. After getting a few nasty scrapes from the sharp stones, you give up.";
28 = "";
29 = "You nervously kneel down and take a sip. It's nasty tasting but slides down smoothly. Nothing happens to you that you can tell.";
30 = "";
31 = "It bounces up and down and shouts for joy, a shout that is soon picked up by all of the spiders in the tunnel. _You brought our eggs to us! Thank you, cute people! Thank you!_";
32 = "It has some spiders clear out the barrier webs in the tunnel to the northeast. _We trapped some nasty humans who were attacking us back there. You can take all their stuff. We don't want it. We just want bad humans and spiders to stay away and leave us alone!_";
33 = "";

35 = "You touch the goo, and it seems to seep into your skin. A warm feeling crawls along your body as the slime wraps around you. Then the feeling fades, and nothing else seems to happen.";

41 = "The non-smart giant spiders have assembled a representation of a huge dragon here, 15 feet long. Its body and legs are made up of thousands and thousands of pebbles, painstakingly piled up by the arachnids.";
42 = "You notice that, in their scavenging, the spiders picked up from somewhere (maybe the nearby mines) a bunch of coins, pieces of metal, and small gems. It would be simple to pick up a few for yourself.";

47 = "You pick out the nicest trinkets, which turn out to be even more valuable than they first appeared. It's quite a haul.";
48 = "As you turn to go, you start to feel spider bites on your legs. You look down, but you see no spiders and no bite wounds. Then it happens again. And again. And again. Then the feeling fades. You feel dizzy.";
49 = "";
50 = "This corpse was once the group's lieutenant. His weapon is broken and his leather armor is ruined. In his pouch, though, you find something very interesting.";
51 = "It is a vellum scroll with a red border. You read it. It is some sort of pass, offering passage for its bearer through all red class Empire checkpoints. Could be very useful.";
52 = "";
53 = "The spider shrine is still there, none the worse the wear for your desecration, except for being a little less glittery.";
54 = "";
55 = "You have to start breathing through your mouth. The reek of decaying flesh back here is overpowering. As promised, the spiders trapped a group of Empire soldiers back here with a wall of webs.";
56 = "The spiders didn't bite the soldiers. They left the surface dwellers in here to starve. An ugly fate.";
57 = "Some of the soldiers' equipment still looks usable.";
