Hmmm. I think you were going easy on them...
With the room description I immediately stepped into the webs... and we only got 1 round of "pelting them from above" (the Wizard and Scout, no one else had readied ranged weapons) and now
everyone is in Close Combat (spiders have a serious Move).
Which is fine for three of us (Barbarian, Scout, and Thief), but the Cleric, Knight, and Holy Warrior have shields and Reach 1 weapons... so I've suggested they try Shield Rushes to free themselves up some space. I'm hoping the Wizard has an "I win" spell tucked away...
The Barbarian (me) tossed aside the great axe is about to hug that spider to pieces. I'll love him, and pet him, and call him George.
