Maloof keeps a very watchful eye on the webbed corridor.

We could try burning the webs. That's a thought, not a command, though. I'm speculating.

Yes, but we might risk damaging any treasure hidden somewhere within.

What's the condition of the webs? do they look dusty? are there new, sticky strands?

Is it correct there is no tunnel or passage through the webs, just a solid wall?

Once we've inspected the webs to our content, I suggest we open the door on the north wall, since we've not done that yet as far as I recall.

The ones close to you are dusty

Is it correct there is no tunnel or passage through the webs, just a solid wall?

You could walk down the corridor though the webs, but the webs are very thick and you would be constantly clearing them aside with something more than just your arms

Once we've inspected the webs to our content, I suggest we open the door on the north wall, since we've not done that yet as far as I recall.

I'll wait for feedback on this suggestion, then act on it if none is forthcoming

You open the north door onto a 20x40 room filled with webs. In various places around the room you see foot-long spiders, in the middle of their webs, three all told. They haven't moved yet. Empty husks litter the room, and near one you see the glint of silver and gold, and a weapon

Let's ready a volley of missile weapons & shoot the spiders from the doorway! Wiglaff's men-at-arms will stand ready to hold the door against their approach.

Aldbane has a sling and will use it if needed, but will yield first shot to anyone with more skill.

I'll let Rhod, Grampus and Wiglaff get off shots. One at each, or concentrate your fire?

Good question. If we each fire at a separate foe, we probably won't kill any of them. But if we concentrate, that potentially leaves two completely unwounded and one wounded but still active.

Screw it, let's all fire on the closest one. And have somebody ready to slam the door in case they might get out and overwhelm us.

Agreed.
