OK -- I've just moved my post beneath Bethberry's and will edit it to make a more seamless transition momentarily, but first. . .

The attack is underway, and I wanted to be clear on the geography of what's going on.

The company is in a long narrow passage with no branches, turns or outlets: there is only forward or back. With the little nasties coming on us, you have three choices: stand and fight, run back the way you came, or run forward.

If you go back, however, you will find the passage blocked by a new web that is impenetrable by weapons and the little beasties wil soon find you.

If you go on, you will find yourself in a huge cavern with many branching tunnels leading off from it, but all of them are likewise blocked. The cavern is full of dried bones and skins and the air is almost unbreathable for the reek. Again, the little beasties will eventually pursue you down there as well. Shelob is hanging back for a bit to see how this turns out so we won't be seeing her again for a little bit.

But don't worry, She is still coming. . .
