''Queen of the Demonweb Pits'' (''Q1'') is an adventure module for the ''Dungeons & Dragons'' roleplaying game written by David Sutherland. The "Q" in the module code is an abbreviation for "queen".〔 The module, a sequel to the D series of modules, was novelized in 2001. 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 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''). D1 and D2 were later compiled into a single adventure, D1-2: ''Descent into the Depths of the Earth''. This module sends the player characters to the Abyss to defeat the evil demigod Lolth of the drow.〔 ==Plot summary== At 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. Her realm, the 66th layer of the Abyss, is known as the Demonweb Pits. The player characters are transported to another plane and cast into a labyrinth, known as the Demonweb.〔 To return home, they must find a way out of the web and defeat Lolth in her lair.〔 The Q1 module was the first to offer a glimpse into the Abyss, home to the ''D&D'' race of demons. It features a map of the Demonweb Pits,〔 a series of interweaving passageways through a maelstrom of lost souls in the Abyss. Characters who venture off the path are probably lost, and many spells work differently (or not at all). 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). ''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. The player characters make their way through Lolth's webs, where they are confronted by her minions, slaves, guards and captives.〔 At the end of the module the players face a final, difficult confrontation with Lolth,〔Sutherland III, David C, and Gygax, Gary. ''Queen of the Demonweb Pits'' (TSR, 1980) ISBN 0-394-51541-2.〕 and a giant, mechanical spider which she can control. The dungeon introduces Lolth's handmaidens, the demonic Yochlol. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Queen of the Demonweb Pits」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
