474
With a deafening explosion the bottle erupts, showering tendrils of liquid fire in all directions. Against the side of the Arachnari the detonation tears at its carapace, spewing pieces of its body across the web, and shattering its abdomen. In a melee of flame and thunder the monstrous spider dies, its body mangled and smoking.
Deafened by the blast you stagger backwards, amazed at the power of your improvised explosive but grateful also that there is no need to fight the beast. Unfortunately your troubles have not yet ended. From behind the body of the spider a flame bursts forth, illuminating the nest and quickly building into a spreading fire. Fed by centuries of debris the fire grows rapidly, searching out the thick webbing and consuming everything it touches.
Immediately you see the danger before you and run for the walls of the pit, lunging for the safety of the stone and a possible escape from the flames.
