Scattered randomly throughout the level are two potions of invulnerability, a wand of make invisible, an amulet versus poison, a pair of speed boots, a ring of conflict, a wand of death, 48 eggs, five piles of gold, 22 giant spiders, Shelob, Girtab, 10 random s, and 48 webs. The eggs will mostly be giant spider eggs, which will begin hatching into (initially) cave spiders as soon as you enter the level. If for some reason you want a large number of pet spiders and your character is male, you can race through this cave, if possible, ahead of the giant spiders, and pick up as many eggs as you can, so that they might hatch into pets.
