Where do you keep your prisoners?

The Pit

You walked over to where the pit was and looked at it with a tilt of your head. This would be the perfect place to put your prisoners. You could put a floor of web along the huge opening, putting it down far enough to where they couldn't climb out if they ever get out of their bindings. Plus, if heroes arrive and attempt to rescue the prisoners, it'd be difficult with them down in a pit made of web. So you quickly climbed over the edge of the pit and got to work.

It took longer then you'd like but it was definitely worth it. After a couple hours of intense focus, you climbed out of the huge opening to look at your handiwork. The walls of the entire thing were now covered in thick layers of web, enough to catch ahold of anything that isn't a spider of some sort. About fifteen feet down, over the deeper section of the hole, you'd created a "floor" of sorts, weaving web over it many times until you couldn't even see the darkness below anymore. You wanted to be sure that you wouldn't lose any heroes to **** if they fell from where they were tied up.

As you crawled back over to the elf, you checked the timer and were satisfied that you still had quite a while before she'd be fully healed and able to wake up. You scooped her up and made your way to the hole, crawling over the side and going down closer to the bottom of your webbing. You turned to the wall and got ready to put her against it when you thought of something.

What am I supposed to do with her?

You weren't entirely certain as to why you'd keep a prisoner except to lure other heroes. So you simply attached her to the wall upright, her hair flowing over her webbed up body. You gave yourself a "meh" shrug and climbed out of the pit. As you crested the edge, though, you noticed two things.

  1. The web that had been covering the other entrance that led deeper into the cave was torn open.
  2. You were staring at a male human, some sort of warrior by the looks of the two axes in his hands.

You both stared at each other for a moment before he glanced around at the walls. Perhaps he'd been here before you claimed the territory and knew there was a goblin camp here before you. Then he looked at the hole and his eyes widened as he noticed the girl.

"Mary, I found Alice's character. It looks like this bug captured her. I'll get her out."

He brandished his weapons as he started making his way towards you. Immediately, your first instinct was to run. Your entire body twitched as you made to turn around... when you spotted a corner in the back where the web was bunched up, making a circular bed. When you claimed the territory, it even gave you a place to rest. This was your home now. You claimed it. And the first adventurer to show up is gonna push you out?

Well? Do you abandon your new home?
