...and in comes Shelob *evil* I have introduced her 'coming' in a way in this last post. Prepare for the attack...

*Rubs hands together gleefully*

My vote for most atmospheric Lair-Post goes to Aman!

That having been said, don't anyone get carried away and have Shelob come at the group quite yet. . . (Yeah, I'm looking at you Kransha and Himaran

)

Never fear, she'll be making her appearance, but she's got some plans to make, some webs to spin, and some traps to lay first.

Be afraid, be very afraid.

What does she win?

So...who's going to die? It's been the topic of thought for several posts now! Will it be the Dwarves? The Elves? The women? The MEN?

The suspense is killing me!

Hmm...good question...who is going to die?

Certainly not I...for I have plans for my Elf...

Oh well...we shall see, very soon.

My SAVE is filled. I do need to apologize for my lack of regular posting. I just started a new job, and I've been working a lot of extra hours.

I'm really excited about the scene to come. I'm terrified of spiders, so I may need therapy after this.

I'll have to use my psych classes to get me through...*mumbles something about desensitization*

I've been caught cross-posting. My post needs to come after Aman and Sarin's but before Captain of Despair's, I think. My character asks Grash for advice about the monster as part of a strategy for defense.

Fordim, is Darash' question to Grash okay with your planned attack for Shelob? I hope I haven't put you off your post.

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. . .
