Choice Text and Results
Pull it down
You attempt to pull down the sack, instead drawing the attention of its owner… and tangling yourself in the webbing.
You've gained 1 duration of Webbed.
(Fight Lurking Spider)
Cut it down
You don't have anything great to cut it with and, frankly, tearing it will probably draw way too much attention. You saw a little by the "corpse's" mouth and feel some faint breath. Hopefully they can hold on until you get some better tools.
Or, with a sword weapon equipped:
You slice the sack open with your sword, revealing an unconscious man within… along with a lot of baby spiders. He's been bitten a great deal but is still clinging on to life somehow.
Burn it!
You try to light it on fire, but whoever told you spider webs were flammable was selling you a bill of goods. Some petrol might do the trick, but nothing less is likely to work.
Or, with refined petrol:
You splash some petrol on the corpse, lighting it ablaze. If there's a chance it was alive, that should solve it… along with the wall it was attached to… and hopefully any spiders around here.
You've earned 4 XP in Will
Leave it
Something happens, but mostly it's just
