Before you is a large hallway, big enough for whatever industrial purposes went on here before the Fall. The hallway slopes downward away from you. In the dim gloom you can see the webbing along the corners grows unevenly further down the hallway. Before it vanishes into darkness completely, it looks like a funnel-web spider's lair on a giant scale, if the spider was really, really drunk.

You are standing in what was once two or three small offices, the walls long ago smashed down leaving this a single 30x40 space. From here you can't see the opening in the ceiling where the child disappeared. The larger strands that snatched him aren't obvious, especially as everything seems covered by smaller webs.

Behind you the wall is mildewy and warped. From the previous room (where you killed your parishioners) the rotted section would open into a brick casement leading Light only knows how far up and down.

To your right is the room you were just in. Only the tiniest traces of sunlight shine from the outside entrance or holes in the roof far above.

To your right is the young woman. In front of you, and closing fast, is the beast. It's form is barely outlined, but you'll get a full view all too soon. It looks like a spider the size of an ox, but with a person's head and torso where the spider's head should be. Or maybe it's a rider. Somehow that option sounds less horrifying. You can see glints coming off of the carapace and legs, shiny and smooth like swords and armour.

Are you sure you want to stop and perform some rather involved mystical math at the moment?
