And with that...
Dougal is gone! He disappears into the shadows, heading west. With every step he takes, the web twangs and vibrates. It looks like a wild ride, but Dougal feels totally in control.
In an earlier Adventure, we established that this area is teeming with bioluminescent creatures. Dougal is so engrossed in the thrill of webwalking that he doesn't notice the transition from lantern light to natural cavern-glow. His eyes adapt quickly to the dim conditions, and before he knows it, he's wandered farther from the group than he realizes.
Dougal passes by several discarded husks. It looks like the Spider-Goat consumed its webbed prey
in situ as opposed to moving the victims to a central larder. Most of the husks are the size of small animals like rats, but Dougal passes by 6 larger cocoons that he thinks could potentially contain hobbet-sized remains.
Along the westernmost edge of the Grand Chasm, Dougal can faintly see a dark alcove or cave. It's at eye level for him, meaning 50' below the ledge. Could this be the Lair of the Spider-Goat?
(The alcove is x, Dougal is the D, Kiplyn is the little k, and the other party members up on the ledge are O.)
