Adri and Peter were moving slowly now. They hadn't seen any spiders since the collapse, but knew more were around. As they moved into the cave it became less a cave and more of a temple. Which was more frightening because temple implied people or at least something with hands was down there with the spiders. Peter was humming to himself and Adri hit him, she wanted to hear any noise in the dark, but there was nothing. Only the sound of their footfalls as they descended into the spider temple.

The cave gave way to a inverse temple, with floors upon floors of people wrapped in webbing struggling against the wrapping. It was horrific and took Adri and Peters breath away. At the bottom was a man spider. The bottom of a spider, but the top of a man, it was being attended by other smaller creatures like it. They were bringing it blood from the people up above. Adri was about to say something to Peter when she felt a sharp prick at her neck. She looked above and saw the spiders had the drop on them. Peter had be similarly envenomed. She saw him drop his hammer and then the webbing started, with dawning realization she caught on they had been lead into the very trap they sought to destroy.
