"Shall we move on, then? There appears to be little of interest here, right?"

Tsadok

Tsadok enters the room watching where he steps to try and avoid the spider's guts strewn around the room. He begins looking around for the spider's web or lair.

"I tend to agree with you my friend (looking to Houwlou). I'd like to be sure this level is clear before we begin to search fully. I'd hate to have something like this sneak up on us."

"I would like to be sure there are no more spiders berfore we leave this room. That one was sneaky and could have struck us from behind."

Harnrey pokes arond the room, paticularly from the direction that the spider came from, and looking for signs of webbing.
 

"Houwlou, you know a lot about critters right? Any chance we can grab some of this thing's bite juice? It ain't needing it anymore" Aodhán asks, pointing to the tiny drop of venom that clings to the fangs of the fallen arachnid.
 

[sblock=Houwlou/Leif]You are certain that this is a spider of a type that does not typically use webs to trap prey but instead hunts its food actively. The venom could potentially be distilled, so is likely worth something in the Markets in Katapesh.[/sblock]

[sblock=Harnry/DeWarr]No webs or signs of other spiders are evident on a cursory inspection of the rest of the room.[/sblock]

[sblock=Tsadok/MikeL]You make your save vs. spider guts and successfully manage to avoid the worst of the muck.[/sblock]
 

Tsadok

OOC - I'm guessing our wonderful DM would tell us if there were any bodies lying around in plain site.

IC - Tsadok is wondering what this thing was feeding on before we wondering into this room.

Tsadok will make is way back to the hallway were they entered this room and continue North.
 


Houwlou Groulenas

Houwlou seizes the opportunity to educate his comrades somewhat on the nature of spiders, "This spider was no web builder. See here how the legs are long and hairless. No, this spider is, was, one who prowled on the hunt for prey. And yes, there is a way to obtain the creature's venom, and it should fetch a good price in a decent-sized city." Houwlou will proceed to perform the necessary dissection of the creature, seeking to preserve and remove its venom glands.

OOC: Not sure what roll, if any, you will require for this. I'll just give you a raw d20, ok? spider dissection (1d20=13) If Houwlou can add his wisdom mod to that, it is a 17. If dex mod, it's a 15 or 16, not sure which offhand.
