[i]Sensing that the opening to the chamber leading to the main cavern was unguarded, the monster approached the net. It reached out with its long middle claw to try and cut through. Not only did it not cut, but the claw stuck! With an immense jerk it tore free, grinding its thick teeth. 

Ah, but it had already established itself as something of an Einstein among horrors, had it not? It began producing more mucous upon its body, a layer of congealed slime soon coating the beast. It rubbed itself against the net, suffocating the adhesive properties in goo. Now without having to worry about getting stuck, it siezed the net with both claws and wrenched it with such strength that small chunks of rock were torn free from the tunnel. It couldn't break the net, but it could break what the net was stuck to. 

The Magna Pater would repeat this process to get through the second web before darting into the mazelike chambers which stretched on for miles to come. If one knew the right path, they could walk to the main cavern in a half hour. It would take the one whom lurked in the depths but a minute or two.[/i]
