The Drow War Book Two. The Dying Of - RoseRed

27. Slag Heap
This is a high pile of black clinker and ash, shovelled
out of the furnace.
28. Iron Pig Storage
This long, windowless wooden shed is unremarkable.
A wheelbarrow stands by the door, which appears to be
firmly shut.
The door is locked; and Open Lock check (DC 20) will
open it. The shed is full of crates, which in turn are full
of iron pigs.
29. Eight-Legged Watchdogs
A truly gigantic spider hunches here, an iron chain
attached to its leg by a thick band. The chain leads
to a fixture in the ground. The spider is a sickly red in
colour; its body is like a vast boil, its legs like distended
veins. Its eight beady eyes seem to glow slightly, as if
there were something even more unnatural about it than
its colossal size.
The drow have placed several pets on guard here,
Colossal fiendish spiders provided by the Ennead.
These are kept restrained by long iron chains to prevent
them wandering off. They have so far caught and eaten
a couple of dwarves who tried to make a break for it.
The spiders can roam up to two hundred feet from the
tether points indicated with an ‘X’ on the map. The
tether points are metal girders driven into the ground,
the remains of an old fence now destroyed.
