Location 20 - Chasm

When you set the statue back on the map, the world around you shatters like glass. Countless shards of unreality swirl in a torrent of chaos. Suddenly, your gut twists and the shattered pieces recombine. You find yourself standing on the crest of a hill overlooking a mammoth, bottomless chasm.

Suspended above the chasm, you see a giant spider web, stretched across the abyss like a tarp and anchored by five, thick cables of webbing. Each silken cable extends toward various scenes that look as though a collage of unrelated landscapes has been mashed together.

In the distance, you recognize one of the landscapes as the ruins of a great city. Another appears to be a spot of dark, greenish forest. One of the cables leads to a huge mountain rising high into the clouds. Another, to a lonely cottage listing to one side atop its foundation. And the final cable leads to some kind of monument that you cannot quite make out from this distance.

At last, in the center of the web, broods an eight-legged horror the size of a house. The hairy arachnid tends to a child-size cocoon that appears to be suspended by nothing at all.

Materializing out of nowhere, Lina steps beside you. She points toward the spider, "She eats the fear. Fear is her power. If you overcome your fear, she won't be able to feed and she'll become weak. Then you can kill her and free the child."

As you return your attention to the spider, you find she has picked the cocoon up in her giant maw. Her many eyes fixated upon you, the spider crawls down into the chasm with great care and is swallowed up by the darkness.

It looks like you will need to weaken the web in order to lure the beast back.
