"Nonsense ye old crone! My name is Sir Knight, and I fear nothing that walk, flies, swim or crawl above, below or on this Earth.
Where is this Chasm Spider, and what kind of monster is it?"
"For honor is my greatest shield and justice the truest blade, I cannot turn my back upon this quest. Please, maiden of ages past, tell me how that I may find and slay this spider."

"Nonsense, ye old crone! I am a Knight, and I fear nothing that walks, flies, swims or crawls above, below or on this Earth. Honour is my greatest shield, and justice the truest blade. I cannot turn my back upon this quest. Please, maiden of ages past, tell me where is this Chasm Spider, and what kind of monster is it?"
The old crone points westward. "The Chasm Spider is, as it seems, a great spider, as tall as five horses and ten times as long. It hides in the Chasm, waiting for those who might cross its path to devour them. It is too great for any man to slay, but I hear that it is almost completely blind - but if it hears you, you will be gone in an instant. You are a fool, Sir Knight, but I wish you luck on your journey."
The old hag bids you farewell and continues along her way. You ride westward, seeking out this Bright Chasm.
After a time, you come across a peasant in a green tunic. He looks up at you and narrows his eyes.
"Greetings, sir. Who are you?" he asks.
"I am a Knight of the realm!" you say.
"Mm-hmm. And what is your quest?"
"To save the princess from the demon!"
He seems to study your eyes for a moment, then pulls back and nods slightly north-west.
"You'll be looking for the Bright Chasm, then. That way, about a league. Best of luck."
"And to you, peasant."
You ride on, travelling the mentioned league before reaching a vast crescent-shaped crevice, festooned with criss-crossing lines of thick, rope-like silk and cleaving down for hundreds of feet. At the base, which is otherwise dark, you can just see a glimmering of golden light.
