Explore a spiders lair.
A blue shield or A bent blue shield.
Find a way up the cliff and through the webs into the lair. Put the prisoner out of his misery in order to find a key. Once you have escaped the nest find a hidden trunk inside the spiders lair.
Before heading into this quest you will need a reasonably powerful bladed weapon, once you have gotten that you can continue. Upon entering the starting room you will be attacked by A hairy dark spider. Once you have beaten it down to very low health it will retreat Spider climbs the mountain and disappears!. At this point you should go and heal (if you need to). Once you are ready to continue you will need at least one hand free.
climb up
You will one again be attacked by the spider who ran away from your before. Once it is dead you will need to clear the webs away from the entrance. Whilst wielding a relatively powerful bladed weapon.
cut webs
You will see one of the following messages.
You cut some of the webs, but the mass of webs is almost as dense as before.
You cut some of the webs, but the hole is still too small.
With the last stroke of your blade, the last of the webs falls away.
Keep repeating the last command until you receive the last message. At this point you should heal and obtain a light source of some sort before continuing, when you are ready.
in
You will now be attacked by another A hairy dark spider who will block your retreat Spider blocks you from leaving the lair!. When it is dead you should heal up before you continue.
n
In this room is An almost dead prisoner who will ask you to kill him The prisoner coughs in agony and mutters: Ple..asse... pleaaase! Kill me! please! they... they... they are inside.. Please kill me! They are inside ME!!. You can either wait for him to be killed by the spiders, or you can finish him off now.
kill prisoner
He will die very rapidly and thank you The prisoner coughs in agony and mutters: Thank you! Take my oil flask and burn this place, I came to loot the shield... the shield is here, but it is too late, burn it all! With a last rasping breath, the prisoner dies. Something moves inside the corpse, something that wants to escape!. You can now do one of two things, you can take An oil flask and burn the lair, which will start a fire which will only allow you to get A bent blue shield (a lesser version of the shield) and you will have to pick the lock on the final trunk rather than use a key. The other option is to wait until the spiders exit his corpse. If you want to burn the place you will need something burning (like A brand, if you are a Necromancer or Wizard you can also cast fireball or conjure flame arrow to accomplish the same effect).
