16. Spiders

The skittering of legs on large webs greets you as you enter the room. Two very angry looking spiders quickly close the distance between you and them. The door to this room is locked and trapped. If an attempt to pick the lock fails and the trap was not detected, the thief has to save vs. Poison or be knocked unconscious for 1d4 rounds. If the trap is detected but the removal attempt fails, the same consequences apply. This small room doesn’t contain much other than the spiders. However you do notice a small bag of coins stuck in one of the large webs. Maybe somebody lost them on their escape from this room. The sack of coins in the web add up to about 20 gp when counted out. 2 Giant Crab Spiders: AC 13, HD 2*, #At 1 bite, Dam 1d8 + poison, Mv 40', Sv F2, ML 7, XP 100 ea. HP Note: These spiders are juvenile; victims of their bite must save vs. Poison at a +2 bonus or become unconscious for 1d4 rounds.
