Didn’t it go like this?
As we all know Shelob was the largest and nastiest of the Great Spiders to survive the destruction of Beleriand. By the Third Age her offspring had taken over large parts of Mirkwood, while Shelob stayed in her den in Cirith Ungol, where she fed on any race who tried to enter Mordor (that passed through the mountains). In the year 3000 she captured Gollum, but let him go so he might bring more victims. In 3019 Gollum then brought Frodo and Samwise to her lair. Like we all know Shelob paralyzed Frodo with her venom. She would have consumed him but Samwise blinded Shelob with the Light of the Phial of Galadriel, then he severely wounded Shelob with an Elf Blade. It then appeared she crept away to die in her lair…
Could someone clear this up or correct me.
