Wangah Rah sent the following report to TMN:

H'loi Para.

In an interesting twist, the blue pants merchant turned out to be an excellent tactical retreat location in a recent hubbub at the arachne cavern to the north of 'noids. However, there was a price to pay for its convenience.

The cause for this need was because of a summoning experience gone awry, in which apparently dozens of arachne muted into much stronger variants. I felt a dark presence deep in the cavern, where we found a Dark Recluse spider. The creature was very strong, and took several dozen exiles several puddlehours to whittle down, until it finally emerged from the cavern and a stable rod working in conjunction with strong fighters managed to fell the beast, with notable appearances made by Captain Stinkfist, Entil'Zha, and other members of the Pirate crew.

Regrettably, I did not take any snapshots of the monsters themselves, but my hours of work and excitement were enjoyed by a large group of exiles. Be wary of traveling alone in that area in the near future, lest you fall prey to their webs!
