Our heroes move on from the empty area #16 and follow a long, winding passage to area #17, the 
lair of the tahini beetles.
Neither side is surprised. The 
6 giant tahini beetles mindlessly scurry to defend their territory (no reaction roll necessary). Some of you know from past experience that these beetles can spit a sticky, paralysing glob of sesame paste.
What is the party's reaction to this threat?
