Hacking your way through the thick vines, you come to the base of a mountain. Rocky cliffs border a narrow passage which disappears up into the hillside. This could be the path that finally leads you back to the Wire Road. As you begin the ascent, the walls of the cliff become exceedingly narrow and you find a thick tangle of the silver thread lines blocking the way. Looking closely, however, you realize the lines are not the recovery thread Nydia gave you, but the web of some sort of spider.

You give the command for everyone to freeze. There are many species of spiders in the Deepwood and none of them are pleasant. Disturbing these webs could bring whatever lurks here down upon you.

Looking ahead, you find the path leads to a dark tunnel dug into the mountainside. If this passage actually heads back to the Wire Road, you will need to venture through the tunnel to reach it. Rather than risk an ambush by whatever lies inside, you may want to disturb the webs now to draw out any potential predators.
