Into the Spider's Web

 is a Sunless Sea Story Event based on the events at Saviour's Rocks.

Trigger conditions
This is triggered after delivering 3 x Tomb-Colonists in Preparing for the Festival of Silk.

Overview
Once you start Into the Spider's Web, you can't return to your boat until you complete The Web of Stone, either by using up all the actions (see below) or choosing to Burn the Tree of Seasons.

Into the Spider's Web provides some colour and background to Saviour's Rocks. There's a chance to earn a handful of Fragments and reduce a little Terror, so explore all the options - there's very little downside. After making it over the bridge of webs, you'll find yourself at the The Web of Stone, where your story choice is made. If you choose to Burn the Tree of Seasons, you'll head down the path of Scourge of Spiders. If, instead, you choose to leave it, you'll be summoned to A council of sorrow and head down the Stooge of Spiders path, which will ultimately lead you to The Wreck of the Nocturne and a pretty cool fight.

Into The Spider's Web...
This is triggered after delivering 3 x Tomb-Colonists in Preparing for the Festival of Silk. The status of Caught in the webs of Saviour's Rocks remains at "A Supplier to Spiders" throughout.

Sitting next to the Emissary of Spiders, you travel through a wasteland of webs and the glimmering eyes of their spinners.

The Web of Stone
The only way into this section is from Into the Spider's Web.

The choices below mostly present a chance to learn more about the Spiders with little downside to exploring various options. The Spying requires increasingly higher Veils checks. The Walk Into My Parlour, Said... acts as a timer of sorts - everything you do increases it by 1, so you effectively get 10 actions before you are summoned to A council of sorrow and will have no choice but to leave. There's also a chance to end the Saviour's Rocks story by attempting to Burn the Tree of Seasons.

The last remnants of an ancient citadel, now home to the spider-council of Saviour's Rocks. Eyeless Weavers and Widows busy themselves tending to the spiders and their Tree of Seasons, showing neither interest or concern at your presence. You will be Summoned.

Burn the Tree of Seasons
Doing this will cost an action, even if you decide against it, so only choose it if you're certain it's path you want to take. If you take this path, it'll ruin Saviour's Rocks, allowing you to become a Scourge of Spiders. Note that you'll take 1 or 2 Menaces: Wounds so if you have one or more, you might die. You've been warned.

A deep breath. A moment to collect your thoughts. Even if you escape alive, it will not be without cost.
