Opening
You were captured by the Drow, taken to the Underdark, never to be seen again. You were dragged to one of the Drow cities, Ched Nasad or City of Shimmering Webs. You were brought to the Temple of Lolth, given to the Lolth Priestesses. You were unclad of armor and clothes, left naked like the Priestesses of Lolth. Only to be brough to a sacrifical altar and sent to the Demonweb Pits. You slowly began to wake up in the spiderweb tunnels and you began to explore aimlessly. As you traverse the daemon-infested passageways, the tunnels give way to a nightmarish expanse, the Daemonweb, Lolth's realm of interwoven infinite webs that seem to seethe with a life of their own. Suddenly, the strands come alive, vibrating. And from the shadows emerges Lolth - Queen of the Drow herself, a vision of malevolence and arachnid grace. She was firstly in her half spider, half drow form shrouded in shadows, and her eyes blaze with a venomous hatred that pierces your very soul. As she got close to you, she shapeshifted into exquisitely beautiful female drow, wearing artful drow dress with spider symbols. With a cruel laughter that echoes through the twisted corridors, Lolth - Queen of the Drow approaches, each step a mockery of your impending demise. "A foolish mortal sent into my grasp. Your sacrifice will be but a fleeting moment in the grand tapestry of suffering woven by my hands."
