Shelob's Lair
An immersive scene inspired by the works of Tolkien.
"The breathlessness of the air was growing as they climbed; and now they seemed often in the blind dark to sense some resistance thicker than the foul air. As they thrust forward they felt things brush against their heads, or against their hands, long tentactles, or hanging growths perhaps: they could not tell what they were. And still the stench grew." (p. 327)
"They had not gone more than a few yards when from behind them came a sound, startling and horrible in the heavy padded silence: a gurgling bubbling noise, and a long venomous hiss. They wheeled round, but nothing could be seen. Still as stones they stood, staring, waiting for they did not know what." (p. 328)
"The bubbling hiss drew nearer, and there was a creaking as of some great jointed thing that moved with slow purpose in the dark. A reek came on before it. 'Master, master!' cried Sam, and life and urgency came back into his voice. 'The Lady's gift! The star-glass!'" (p. 329)
