Schlemiel elves, gather together and proceed to the Underdark!

Bah, Lolth is only an incy wincy spider demon.

[Callista]

Wow, V is really playing with fire--in more ways than one!

[Lord Zentei]

Bah, Lolth is only an incy wincy spider demon.

Not anymore. Now she has the DOILY! :smalleek:

[Green Bean]

Not anymore. Now she has the DOILY! :smalleek:

Quickly! We must gather up as many water-spouts as we can before the rain starts! It's our only hope!

[Brickwall]

Frightening, truly frightening.

Spiders would be scarier if they were not so incredibly squishable. It's when they sneak up on you that you should be scared.

[Demented]

Doily or not, if Lolth tries get under my clothes, she's going to get an epic-level smiting.
Wait, that sounds terribly wrong.

Anyway.
Spiders that aren't intelligent enough to stay outside get smashed.
Spiders that build webs where I walk get their webs torn down.
Unless they're heavier than a pea. Then they get thwacked by the broad-side of a saw. Hard.
(The saw gets cleaned of spider guts afterwards.)

Every other spider gets to live. For now.

Having some lots of spiders in your house means you can bet on them and force them to do arena style combat!

[BrokenButterfly]

*Shudders* spidersss......

It'll take more that doily possession to halt my righteous crusade to vanquish all the eight-legged evil in the world.

[starwoof]

Crap. Her plans have accelerated.

I must warn the council!

Apparently, some scientists did some experiments once with a million odd spiders. Once the spiders had completed their webs the scientists dropped a twig on all of them, ruining the webs. Most of the spiders just built new webs, but a tiny miniscule ammount of a percent worked around the twig to repair their previous web in a way that made it better.

Basically it means that for every million odd spiders, there are some spiders that are smarter than other spiders. I find that quite interesting from a "humans are all individuals" viewpoint.

Doily-wielding spider goddess? Eeek! Slay Deity! <Raises Lolth as a zombie> Doily-powered Lolth servant for me!

I will now craft a Wondrous Item, a dark orb with the OP's picture within it. I will use it not only to control the zombie, but tap the power of the doily and the goddess. I AM UNSTOPPABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:amused:

And that was a skeptical face.

And did you photoshop that, or did a spider really make a web like that?

[Silverlocke980]

Doilies, Lloth, spiders...

Wow, this is one awesome/weird thread!

[Alfryd]

Doily or not, if Lolth tries get under my clothes, she's going to get an epic-level smiting.
Y'know, as a long-standing hobby naturalist, I feel I should say that I *like* spiders.

And did you photoshop that, or did a spider really make a web like that?
Oh yeah. You wouldn't believe some of the structures they come up with.

Anyone read War of the Spider Queen? The sequal to it is out right now. The first book, Sacrifice of the Widow, looks interesting but it was sold out when I looked for it at Borders, at least the ones in my immediate area.

Or it means that out of a million odd dropped twigs, there are some that damaged the webs less than others, and those webs were worth repairing.
