Wispy, hot crevice that is surrounding by a bunch of skeletons. A pile of treasure sits in the middle. Hundreds of hungry vultures stare down upon the treasure, eager to devour any adventurer that draws near.

I am the Spider in the fable of the Spider and the Fly, much beloved by the children of the realm. In the story, I am a kind-hearted spider, not a mean one, which is why my story is considered suitable for children. When a fly gets caught in my sticky net, I have a choice: I can kill the fly and eat him, or I can free him and allow him to fly away. That's what I do, for I am a kind spider.
Hello vulture! It's nice to see a fellow living soul around here. I couldn't find much friendliness in these skeletons here. Ach, your legs are very... tickling... ahahaha, stop it! Oh, I'm so sorry! I always forget that I'm so ticklish. Do you forgive me? Oh, well, your venomous bite took down that last adventurer quite nicely, so you're not a bad sort.  Nothing to forgive there, friend! Me, take down the last adventurer? I think you have the wrong idea about me. I am a friendly spider. I always free any flies that get caught in my web. I would never harm a person! Ah, perhaps it was that scorpion over there.  I was, I admit, a bit peckish, so I might have gotten a bit forgetful amid the feasting. Yes, you are probably right. I tried to make friends with that scorpion but he threatened to sting me. It's sad because I was going to give him some of the treasure I've found around here. Well, he looks a bit angry all the time anyways.  I mean, look at him, he's always red in the face! Yes, you are quite right! But dear vulture, do you think you could help me out a bit? Well, it isn't like there's much else to do.  Those gold coins are glinting in my eyes terribly, so a change of pace would be welcome. Oh thank you! Can you help me on to that chair over there? I'm afraid this desert heat has taken all the energy out of me. And I know with your power of flight, it would be easy to lift me. Ok... just... hold still.  I wouldn't want to squish you on accident!  Here we go!
