20 = "Nestled in a cubbyhole covered with thick webs, you find a rough stone nest. There is a large egg sac inside it, quivering slightly. You don't think that they are aranea eggs. If they were, they wouldn't be here.";

26 = "The table in this alcove is used for aranea alchemy, whatever that's for. However, the substances and reagents aren't stored on nice simple shelves like proper people with hands do. Instead, the globs of goo and fungus and other reagents are stuck to the webs.";
27 = "Unreadable notes are all over the place, written in elegant traceries of webbing. Whatever these spiders were doing, it's quite elaborate. It's also very fragile.";

44 = "You cut it loose. It's a very large, pale green worm. The room suddenly gets much colder. It's a dumb creature, nowhere near bright enough to comprehend the idea of gratitude ...";

46 = "At the core of the aranea nest, you confront their queen. She stares down at you from her perch, old and twisted. Her abdomen shows the scars and burns of a hundred battles and experiments gone wrong.";
47 = "She lets out a screech of incomprehensible babble. The clicks and scrapes of the aranea tongue are completely alien, but their meaning is obvious. Her guards lurch forward to attack you.";
48 = "";
49 = "The aranea queen hisses out a spell. You hear the bubbling of slime coming from outside her chamber, and the smell of vinegar fills the air.";

51 = "The ancient mother of aranea keels over. Her legs curl up under her, and she expires in an outpouring of squeals and slime.";
