🕷️ Backstory

Dark whispers echo through the caverns of the Underdark. Goblin traders mutter, broken bards whimper, and one very traumatized spelunker refuses to go near cobwebs again. All tell the same tale:

Arachnae, the Spider Queen—a devout concubine of Lolth herself—has seized a sacred relic: the Amulet of Lolth, pulsing with the goddess’s essence and her very, very bad vibes.

Now, Arachnae spins a web of conquest that stretches not just through the Underdark, but toward the surface. Her plan? To unleash jabillions (yes, jabillions) of spiderlings across the world until every field, farmhouse, and tavern is crawling. Resistance means death. Compliance means knitting socks for daddy longlegs. 🧦

Her loyal lieutenant, Ssythra, a massive arachnid with culinary ambitions, cocoons victims into Michelin-worthy meat rolls. Think Gordon Ramsay with eight legs and silk glands.

The surface teeters on the brink of infestation.

🎯 The Mission

(Cue A-Team theme… because spiders deserve style.)

The Curator offers a perilous contract:
Descend into the Underdark. Find Arachnae. Stop the ritual. Retrieve the amulet. Or die tangled in silk.

🕸️ The Four Paths

Heroes will begin separately, taking one of four deadly tunnels before converging in Arachnae’s lair. Each corridor comes with its own delightful horrors:

• Path One: Crawlers, skitterers… and their drider chaperone.

• Path Two: Goblins whisper, but something darker whispers back inside your skull.

• Path Three: “Trooooolll!!!” echoes in the dark. Enough said.

• Path Four: The ground trembles, rocks fall, and souls may follow.

🕷️ The Final Encounter

At the heart of the web sits Arachnae, clutching the Amulet of Lolth. Beside her lurks Ssythra, sharpening her cutlery and rolling her next entrée. Break the ritual, slay the Queen, and reclaim the amulet… or doom the realms to eternal eight-legged tyranny.

🕯️ Final Words

The Underdark beckons. The Amulet pulses. Arachnae weaves.

Bring your dice. Bring your minis. Bring snacks. And above all… bring socks.

Because this dungeon has legs. Lots of them.
