My curiosity gets the better of me, and I decide to take a closer look at the crack on the wall. As I approach it, I notice that it's a narrow opening, just large enough for me to squeeze through.
I find myself standing in an eerily dark and damp tunnel, my darkvision piercing through the gloom. The only sources of light are the faint glimmers from my surroundings reflected in my eyes. My trusty chain mail armor protects my body, while my black axe gleams menacingly in my hand. I glance down at my off-hand, which is currently empty. With a sigh, I realize that I have nothing to wield in this hand, but I suppose it can still be used for blocking attacks.
As I continue up the sloping tunnel, I ponder whether to head back to the four-way intersection, or inspect the edge of the pond.
Suddenly, I hear the sound of something scuttling towards me from behind. I turn around just in time to see a giant spider emerge from the darkness, its eight long, hairy legs dangling menacingly. Its bulbous abdomen glistens in the dim light, and two beady eyes gleam with an unsettling intelligence. Before I can react, it lunges at me with its venomous bite.
The spider's fangs sink into my flesh, and I feel a burning sensation coursing through my veins. I wince in pain as I suffer 7 points of damage from the attack. I curse under my breath, realizing that I need to act fast before the spider's venom takes effect.
I swing my black axe at the spider with all my might, but it nimbly dodges my attack. The spider lunges at me again, its fangs poised for another venomous bite. I try to dodge, but I'm not quick enough. The spider's fangs sink into my flesh once more, and I suffer 3 points of damage.
I swing my axe again, but the spider is too fast. It dodges my attack with ease and strikes again, its venomous fangs sinking into my flesh for a third time. This time, I only suffer 1 point of damage, but it's enough to push me over the edge. My HP reaches 0, and I succumb to death.
As my body falls to the ground, I realize that I haven't been healed. I have one final thought: "Well, this is just great. I died at the hands of a giant spider. How embarrassing."
