Levels

	The Academic Mood
0 – 19	A faint rattle. Rocks crumble from the cavern wall and bounce to the floor. No spider was hurt.
20 – 39	A fight breaks out. One spider dared accuse another of not understanding the work of Aristotle.
40 – 59	The top of a column of rocks glows faintly. Is that spider luminescent?
60 – 79	A thick, leather-bound book thumps to the cavern floor. A spider the colour of ripe cherries drops down after it.
80 – 100	A spider attempts to pin a piece of their web to your shoulder. They seem positively affronted when you move, breaking the strand.
