The ground is cluttered with leaves, decayed remains of webbed crickets, beetle, rats, dogs (?), and even humans. You begin to wonder about what lies ahead.

The limbs are coated with cobwebs and seem unusually strong for tree branches. Paths lead in four directions.

You sense some order in their markings. ~ 63 0 2 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 6302 S #6304 Webby Passage~ Another webby passage, all sticky and wet. Tiny ballooning spiders fill the air. It seems that these young ones are newborns. ~ 63 0 2 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 6302 S #6305 Beneath the Busy Path~ You hear the sounds of crawling arachnids above. The rhythms of the footsteps suggest a primitive order in there movement.

There is evidence of webbing here, but it is of a finer quality. ~ 63 0 2 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 6310 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 6312 S #6312 Tree Lair Entrance~ It seems the inhabitant of this place does not web her victims, as evidenced by the remains before you. The area is cluttered with desiccated corpses, apparently bitten but unwebbed, and drained of their life juices. ~ 63 0 2 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 6311 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 6313 S #6313 Wolf Spider Lair~ Very dark, as all lairs of spiders are. Not much of furnishings save an exit. The wolf spider keeps no corpses here, but rather throws them out at her leisure. ~ 63 0 2 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 6312 S #6320 The Webless Path~ Strange. No webbing here. In fact, no sounds whatsoever. The path continues northward, where you find that you may have to tightrope your way across a ravine. ~ 63 0 2 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 6309 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 6321 S #6321 Above the Ravine~ Stranger still. Your feet get a real firm grip on the spiderline. You are above a deep ravine. This line connects you between two trees. Below you can see a prismatic web with lots of animal bones caught in it: some bear and small deer bones in fact. No human skeletons are visible (yet). ~ 63 0 2 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 6320 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 6323 D5 ~ ~ 0 -1 6322 S #6322 The Rainbow Web~ This is the rainbow web--each strand, each link, a hue of violently sharp colors and contrasts. The resident here seems to have a command of light as well. ~ 63 0 2 D4 ~ ~ 0 -1 6321 S #6323 The Web Forest~ The trees here take on a different appearance--they are not trees anymore, but disjointed make-shift silken made shafts, sticky to the touch, and webby in texture. This is another world it would appear. ~ 63 0 2 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 6321 D5 ~ ~ 0 -1 6324 S #6324 The Slave Pit~ You have entered the slave pit. A voice blares in the distance, "Get back to work, maggots!" Rails upon rails of mined gold and silver clutter the trail beneath you. ~ 63 0 2 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 6325 D4 ~ ~ 0 -1 6323 S #6325 The Tether Path~ Another tether path just like the rest of them. Surprisingly well -lit by the golden orbs that hang from the sides, you can see the paths become finer and finer in quality. ~ 63 0 2 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 6326 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 6324 S #6326 A Road Crossing~ Another shifty little strand of webs, almost ethereal in nature. ~ 63 0 2 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 6325 D4 ~ ~ 0 -1 6327 S #6327 A Leader Strand~ This strand is weightier, more sturdy. It shimmers as you step on it. You are definitely not in the Midgaardian realms anymore. Just where you are you can't tell. It feels like you're moving through ether. You can still get back down to more surer lands. ~ 63 0 2 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 6328 D5 ~ ~ 0 -1 6326 S #6328 The Entrance of the Ethereal Web~ You are at the entrance to ethereal web.

You feel that humans have been played with here too, and eaten later. You sense that the maker of this place has an appetite for dragon meat, and uses this room as a breeding area. ~ 63 0 2 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 6331 S #6331 The Base of the Web~ Large strands connect at this point. The node shimmers and flickers within the ether. You see many flying creatures-- insects, pegasi, and dragon wormkins--navigate the dangerous passages of the web. Exits go in many directions. ~ 63 0 2 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 6330 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 6332 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 6333 S #6332 Through the Trees~ This part of the web intersects through the branches of some trees. Various leaves and other debris that the many drones have not picked up yet lie here. ~ 63 0 2 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 6331 S #6333 Above the Clouds~ You can see all of Midgaard in this ethereal web. Many of the larger dragons that do wish to fly seem to fly away from the sticky strands of the web. ~ 63 0 2 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 6331 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 6334 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 6335 S #6334 On A Cloud~ Rather thick in consistency.

Various tomes of arcane lore clutter the area, along with shards of armor and weaponry. ~ 63 0 2 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 6336 S #6341 Another Tree Limb~ Once again the web crosses another tree limb. To the side you see the possible entrance to another creatures lair. ~ 63 0 2 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 6336 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 6342 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 6345 S #6342 The Bird Spider's Lair~ This is a big game hunter among most spiders. Crush jewels and other weapons suggest the inhabitant must have powerful jaws. Beware! ~ 63 0 2 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 6341 S #6345 A Link in the Ethereal Web~ This is another link in the ethereal web. Various creatures seem to get caught (or hypnotized) by its sticky strands. ~ 63 0 2 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 6341 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 6350 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 6346 S #6346 The Quiet Tree Top~ Here is a quiet tree top. ~ 63 0 2 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 6345 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 6347 S #6347 On The Web~ RRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAARR!

You shiver in your boots as you tiptoe on this section of the web. ~ 63 0 2 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 6346 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 6355 S #6350 The Ki-Rin Chamber~ A wise ki-rin was entrapped here many years ago. It is from her that the ruler of this realm steals his magical strength. ~ 63 0 2 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 6345 S #6355 A Link in the Ethereal Web~ This is another link in the ethereal web. Various creatures seem to get caught (or hypnotized) by its sticky strands. To the west you sense the heavy breathing of a fiery animal. ~ 63 0 2 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 6347 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 6360 D4 ~ ~ 0 -1 6365 S #6360 Yevaud's Lair~ Yevaud, the Usurper of Midgaard, resides here. A voice cries out, "BEWARE, the Usurper of Midgaard lives here! FLEE while you can!" But even Yevaud has his master...or so you deduce. ~ 63 0 2 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 6355 S #6365 A Link in the Ethereal Web~ This is another link in the ethereal web. Various creatures seem to get caught (or hypnotized) by its sticky strands. A single spider line lies to the north, while ghastly seemings are due southward.

The wails of slaves and the howls of wolves are the only way you can describe the sounds you hear. The walls are thin and wispy. The only light you receive is the shimmering from the strand of the ethereal web you used to get here. ~ 63 0 2 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 6371 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 6369 S #6371 The Single Spider Line~ A single spider line supports you once more.
