"Dargun and a number of his followers were clearing a dense forest in order to construct a fortress. They brought in us from a nearby village, and then went to scout for more villagers.

They threatened to destroy our villages if we resisted.

''There was an odd shaped dirt mound, sort of like a giant ant hill, which was in a clearing. Dargun ordered us to clear it to make way for his courtyard.''

That's when the dirt began to move.

''The further we dug into the mound, the more the ground would shake, as if we were stirring up something beneath the surface. He forcefully made us continue our dig. Deeper, and deeper we went. Just as I left to gather more tools the ground collapsed and the mound disappeared, along with all of the villagers who were on it.''

Dargun peered into the darkness below, and jumped down - unprepared for battle due to his arrogance.

Then they appeared.

''Spiders, large and small attacked the villagers and Dargun from all directions. Thinking he could dispose of them like normal spiders, Dargun readied his sword and began slashing away. To his surprise these spiders had unbelievable powers.''

''Some blew up into smaller spiders when they were killed. Some confused, or set alight those that were close when they were slain. Some were thorny, others had a diamond-infused body which made damaging it difficult.''

''Dargun, realising his mistake quickly signalled for us to close the hole, and climbed out, bruised and battered. We covered the opening with stone, dirt and grass, whatever we could get our hands on.''

''Eventually the trembling stopped. Having caught his breath, Dargun left, saying he will build his fortress elsewhere.''

The spider's nest is one incredibly dangerous place."
