At the end of the module the players face a final, difficult confrontation with Lolth, and a giant, mechanical spider which she can control. The player characters make their way through Lolth's webs, where her minions, slaves, guards and captives all challenge the characters. Queen of the Demonweb Pits is an open-ended adventure each portal can lead to a large area, from which the dungeon master can launch a new campaign. In the maze there are portals to other worlds, some to which Lolth sends minions to invade (such as a winter world and a world of permanent night). Characters who venture off the path are probably lost, and many spells work differently (or not at all). It features a map of the Demonweb Pits, a series of interweaving passageways through a maelstrom of lost souls in the Abyss. The Q1 module was the first to offer a glimpse into the Abyss, home to the D&D race of demons. The player characters are sent to another plane and trapped in a labyrinth known as the Demonweb, and must escape the web and defeat Lolth in her lair to return home. Her realm, the 66th layer of the Abyss, is known as the Demonweb Pits. Plot summary Īt the end of Vault of the Drow, the characters find an astral gate leading to the Abyssal realm of Lolth, Demon Queen of Spiders, goddess of the drow elves and architect of the plot involving hill giants, frost giants, fire giants, kuo-toa and drow. This module brings the player characters to the Abyss to fight the evil drow demigod Lolth. D1 and D2 were later compiled into a single adventure, D1-2: Descent into the Depths of the Earth. The series becomes an odyssey into the Underdark, as described in the " Drow" series of modules: D1 ( Descent into the Depths of the Earth), D2 ( Shrine of the Kuo-Toa) and D3 ( Vault of the Drow). It is the seventh module in an epic series of adventures set in the World of Greyhawk, beginning with raids by local hill giants and other events described in the G1-3 Against the Giants modules. The module, a sequel to the D series of modules, was novelized in 2001. The "Q" in the module code is an abbreviation for "queen". Queen of the Demonweb Pits ( Q1) is an adventure module for the Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game written by David Sutherland.
