[Ozarck]

Having gotten used to having some semblance of light, when you look out the door and are confronted immediately by pitch black, you take a few moments to let your eyes adjust. They never do. 

[Harry Baldman]

"Clunkers, headlights please."

[Pancaek]

"Statement: This one had forgotten we were in an cave for a second. Lights coming up."

Activate my eye lights and the light of my staff to illuminate our surroundings. Take a look around.

[killerhellhound]

I don't think that's normal darkness

Search around for a torch or other light source.

[Harry Baldman]

Inspect the light source in the cursed treasure room.

Inspect the light source in the cursed treasure room.

It's a burning trough of imp fat. Which apparently burns forever.

[MidnightJaguar]

See if illusions work as a lightsource.

you see thin strands of some substance thickly interwoven throughout the passageway several dozen yards along, completely blocking the way forward. something is moving within the strands a shot hway in, kind a jerking about.

there's the burning fat PW mentioned, Fiddler's wristband, and Clunkers' eyes.

See if illusions work as a lightsource.

They do not.

"Prediction: It's fucking spiders, isn't it? Or some other disgusting organic insect."

I say we kill it with fire

[Pancaek]

"Pondering: However, perhaps the thing we see moving in the strands is one of the underdwarves, trapped."

[Harry Baldman]

"Prediction: It's fucking spiders, isn't it? Or some other disgusting organic insect."

"You'd think a spider would make a web it could move through. So it's either not a spider and is instead something like one of those annoying-as-piss caterpillars that ruin hedges or a really tiny swarm of spiders."

"With that in mind, you seem to be the sole wholly inedible member of our motley crew, so it would probably be sensible for you to go and check deeper in."

[Pancaek]

Clunkers fixes its one working eye on Fiddler, giving his ruined arm a little jangle.

"Statement: Inedible, but not indestructable. This one will take a closer look, but will remain at a distance for now. This one expects the lot of you to have its back."

Make sure my staff light is on in addition to my eye light. Go and take a closer look, but keep at least a body's length distance between myself and whatever it is.

Prep my sling ready to give covering fire to Clunkers

Deeeeefinitely spider thread. And yes, there are numerous relatively small spiders in it. But yo uget the distinct impressiuon that a more massive spider lurks beyond as well. Perhaps it has paths other than the tunnels through which it travels, or perhaps it nests, and simply waits for meals to come along.

As for the twitching thing - it is some kind of animal, and not a dwarf at all. it seems nonsapient, far as you can tell.

Prep my sling ready to give covering fire to Clunkers

You crouch, whip out your sling, and hop back and forth, looking left and right with an "aha!" at every shadow.
