* As your hand nears the Grimoire, the skittering above crescendos into a sharp, chittering chorus. From the shadows of the ceiling descends a massive spider guardian, its body a fusion of flesh and obsidian, eight crimson eyes burning like coals. Its mandibles click in anticipation as it lowers itself on strands of glowing silk, positioning itself between you and the exit. The air grows thick with the scent of venom and rot.
The Grimoire hums faintly, as if reacting to the guardian’s presence. The moment to act has come.*
What will you do?
