Sticky webs cling to every surface, draping from gnarled branches and dangling in ghostly strands across narrow paths. Cocooned corpses — animal and humanoid — hang like grim ornaments between the trees, their outlines barely visible in the dim light. The ground is soft and uneven, pockmarked with burrows, shallow sinkholes, and the shattered remnants of prey.
In summer, the air is thick with humidity and the scent of decay. The webs glisten with dew, and every step risks stirring the unseen watchers above. In winter, snow clings to the silken strands, muting the glade in a cold, unnatural stillness — yet the trap remains as deadly as ever.
Somewhere in this tangled web of death, the broodmother waits.
Spider Den offers Dungeon Masters a nerve-wracking location for ambushes, poison-filled encounters, or desperate rescues. Whether the players are hunting, hunted, or simply lost in the wrong place, this lair ensures one truth:
Struggle too long, and you will be wrapped in silence.
