Adventure Guide

Narrative
The quest 
[80D] Ara-Kara, the City of Echoes: Harvest's End leads to this dungeon.
- The Shredded Strands
Kill the attendants Atik, Nakt and Ixin to summon Avanoxx:
- His shrilling fades... the crooning of the remaining Attendants grows louder.
- One shrill voice remains... webs begin to shake...
- The Attendants have been silenced... something emerges!
Avanokk's description:
Deserted when Ara-Kara fell to ruin, the creature known as Avanoxx started as nothing more than a humble spider. Years of isolation in an area ripe for feeding have left her free to grow, overseeing her children, her followers, and her territory with unmatched size and ferocity.
Encounter overview:
Avanoxx consumes with Voracious Bites and signals to Starved Crawlers with Alerting Shrill that grow in Hunger over time.
Avanoxx unleashes Gossamer Onslaught and causes additional undercrawler eggs to fall from above. Vile Webbing serves as the perfect trap for her prey.
