Dungeon 15 Turn 27
————
Sue climbs up the no-longer-trapped ladder and uses her magic lens on the juvenile gargantula. That’s a big old spider, all right! Also, the fact that’s it’s a juvenile implies the existence of an adult gargantula, but we’re not going to talk about it because sometimes denial is all we have left.
Amadeusz remains behind and eats some more raw meat, recovering 3 HP.
Ricki and Lara return to the oddly-shaped room. Lara runs past all the enemies in the room, then climbs on the ceiling and opens the chest there. She finds a pair of cool gloves that match her outfit and also her whole general vibe. She then leaves the room, taking no damage from the two purple widows.
…However, the drider didn’t attack her. Instead, it notices Ricki rubbernecking in the area, picks her up, and throws her to the other side of the room, dealing 1 unblockable damage via the fall. Daisy, ever loyal, jumps off the platform to stay with her owner and also takes 1 unblockable damage. It looks like neither of them can easily climb back out, and Lara already left the room.

The juvenile form of a creature conjured by the Goddess of Spiders. They exist to follow the directions of arachnomancers, and can become confused when no directions are given. If they survive and feed for a while, they will grow to their more powerful adult form.
Does it make any sense to ask Lara to use her SubdueSpider on that Gargantula?
It could become docile. Or it could become a pet for this dungeon. Or a permanent pet, that could grow just like Princess.
And we might get Lara healed with meat and/or calling Paws and trading treasure for potions.
ah yes.. Everyone already already has a pet, so I guess not an option unless we have some means to i.e. send one home, hard choice :/
Unfortunately we are full on pets, so at best it becomes docile if we go that route.
Lara: Right, help Ricki and Daisy to the left side of the room. Head left to the entrance room. Use your action to think about the Spider Idol you hold, specifically whether or not it would encourage intelligent enemies, like the Arachnomancers, to attack whoever holds it like the Killer Spiders did to Wolf.
Ricki: Get grabbed nerd. Head left to the entrance room. Go case the Puzzle Chest (avoiding the ladder rung trap along the way) then head up to Wolf and Sue.
Wolf: Eat meat. Fully belly.
Sue: Head left back to Wolfadeusz. Mend Daisy when she arrives. Poor girl.
