Ok, picture the scene. Kelias, Pounder and I explored an area that nobody else had been in. When we got in, we realised there was no exit. We find a NPC who wants a codpiece. We set out to find that codpiece. Pounder suspects that we're in Shelob's lair. But we really didn't want that to be true, in such small numbers. We trudge through, Osse following us. Suddenly we all lose Kelias (the party leader). While I'm stood there, Shelob runs past me (I would have warned Kelias, but I couldn't remember his goddamn name!) This is where the log starts. This Shelob is WAY more scary than ANY assassin could ever be when she's hunting you down.



Kelias leaves west.

You follow your leader west.
    The floor of the tunnel seems to be set on quite a steep
slope, making you watch your footing.  The tunnel stretches on 
endlessly in both directions.  Shadows dance madly around the 
walls, forming a backdrop for the chaotic, paranoid mind games 
these tunnels seem to summon.
    The only obvious exits are west and east.
 Kelias the sindar Enchanter (Villainous)
 A dark green frog

Pounder enters.

Pounder says: shit i don't like this:P

Kelias looks at A dark green frog.

Kelias leaves west.

Pounder leaves west.

You follow your leader west.
    The shadows in this tunnel seem filled with the threat of
hidden eyes.  The walls feel smooth and worn with age, and a 
weighty, pregnant silence lays an almost tangible hand upon your 
soul, gradually isolating you from life and warmth.  You strain 
your senses to the full, trying to locate some movement or sound
in this eternal sink of shadow and evil.
    The only obvious exits are northwest and east.
 Pounder the dunedain Knight (Heroic)
 Kelias the sindar Enchanter (Villainous)
'it's all good

Kelias leaves northwest.

You follow your leader northwest.
    The walls of the tunnels are smooth and worn, and the floor
is sloping gently.  It is completely quiet in here, making
your heartbeat seem like thunder in your ears.  As you look
around, you realize that this tunnel is exceptionally featureless. 
Without your eyes to guide you, you'd probably be hopelessly lost!
    The only obvious exits are northwest and southeast.
 Kelias the sindar Enchanter (Villainous)
 A patch of mushrooms

Pounder enters.
You say: it's all good
{HP:230 EP:65} 
Pounder says: for jsut for the record

Pounder falls down laughing.

Kelias leaves northwest.

Pounder leaves northwest.

You follow your leader northwest.
    You have reached a fork in the tunnel.  A choice between two
fates may lie here.  Either may mean salvation, yet the dry
fetid air and the crippling stench it carries suggest a less
glamourous destiny for those lost in these black catacombs.
    The only obvious exits are northeast, west and southeast.

may result in a prolonged aimless journey through these eternally 
twisting passages.  Perhaps the end comes only when the screaming 
cells of your body finally succumb to, at best, a painfully drawn- 
out death of thirst and deprivation.
A perfect web blocks off the tunnel to the northwest.
    The only obvious exits are southwest and southeast.

Shelob enters.

{HP:199 EP:38} You miss Shelob.

Shelob sinks her fangs into you.

Shelob grabs you with the claw on her leg.

Shelob slices you with a blow from her leg.

    The tunnel ahead splits into two paths, each offering the
hope of an escape to fresh air and freedom.  The thick, still 
atmosphere and the sense of depression that pervades this 
labyrinth makes even the alternative to life seem welcoming...
    The only obvious exits are northeast, northwest and east.

Shelob enters.
{HP:183 EP:39} Doubts and fears assail you, filling you with the desire to just give in.
{HP:183 EP:39} You hit Shelob with the flat of the blade.

Shelob chomps you.

Shelob misses you with her sharp claw.

Shelob stings you with a fang which drips poison!
'i'm so dead :p
You say: i'm so dead :p

Shelob impales you with her poisonous fangs!
You feel sick to your stomach, and very disoriented.

You miss someone.

Someone stings you with a fang which drips poison!
You are unconscious and can do nothing!
{HP:17 EP:4} You are still unconscious.
You are lifted up and bound in cords...
You are still unconscious.

    Pain arcs through your body like a white-hot bolt as two huge fangs
stab into your abdomen; hideous hot, acidic saliva bubbling round the
wounds, and you suddenly feel as if you are falling, falling from a
terrible height, into the heart of grinding, poisonous blackness. Before
consciousness flees your screaming brain, you feel a terrible suction
inside you, accompanied by a horrific slurping sound. As the innards are
sucked from your convulsing body, your eyes close for the last time.
You have died.

You have a strange feeling.
You can see your own lifeless body from above.

Shelob eats a bundle of webbing.

    This is the heart of Shelob's domain. Vast walls of grey granite
tower above you coated with thick drapings of spiderwebs which
swing softly in response to unseen vibrations. Mounds of slowly
decaying weapons and armour lie half uncovered amidst the
disgusting dark layers of blood, flesh, and soil which have
gradually formed to make a squelching floor of sorts. A stench
of rot and death pervades the dust filled air, and looking up
you see strange shapes hanging from the ceiling, bundled in
Shelob's spinnings. A thick strand of web reaches down from the
shadows above you, to almost touch the floor.
    The only obvious exit is north.
 Corpse of Gazza
 Shelob, spider of darkness {above you}
 A strange runed staff
 A small blue bottle on a string (closed)
 A large red shield
 A pair of mail pants
 A Rohan helmet
 A golden ring with a red ruby attached
 A large black cloak
 A suit of chain link mail
 A studded leather baldric containing a bright runed longsword
 An Orc courier pack
 Some gold coins
