Clyde, with Alecto's help, works the crowbar into the doorjam. There are a few minutes of prying and pulling and then, with a snap, the door opens. The hinges shriek in protest but the thick door swings into the spider chamber.
Light, a bit brighter than torchlight spills into the chamber. You each also feel a wave of warmth, several degrees warmer than the chamber you are in.
The room beyond the door is 10 feet wide and 20 feet long, with a ceiling of about 8 feet high. It is a drab green in color, with the floor, walls, and ceiling comprised of 5 feet square panels. Three small cages, similar to the one above the door, are set into the ceiling at intervals each containing dark broken orbs of glass.
To the right of the door, near the ceiling, you see a small square opening is set into the wall, its front covered with slat like bars.
The light source stands in the center of the room. It is a large yellow glowing crystal, rectangular, roughly hewn, about four foot tall and the width of a man. It glows, emitting steady light and heat.
Arranged in a circle on the floor around the crystal are what appear to be eggs. There are 10, each about 1 foot in diameter. Their surfaces are green, flecked with orange-brown spots. They are attached to the floor with what looks like a sticky green membrane.
Otherwise, the room looks bare. There are a few pieces of glass and metal on the floor, but the room is otherwise free of debris.
At the opposite end of the room is another door, similar to the one you have just opened.
