I just can't seem to know what to make out of this room!
The description is as goes:
A17. Prison (EL 7)
The majority of this large, stuffy chamber is covered in filthy webs forming a funnel that dips down into the ground. A catwalk runs around the rim of the room near the ceiling, twenty feet above the ground. In each corner, the catwalk expands into a ten-foot-square platform that’s fenced in by wooden beams, forming a cage in each corner. The walls within each cage are hung with iron manacles. Most of the manacles—while bloody—are empty, but three in the southeast corner imprison emaciated men.
The map won't help much, and I can't imagine what the description says. I mean, where the hell is the web funnel anyway? Where is the spider? How could anyone "fall into the web"?? Jumping from the catwalk?
And what about the cages? They're underneath the platform?
English in not my native language, but I've done fine till now. This description is really, really weird!

The main door to A17 is barred so the PCs can't make it into the room except on the elevated catwalks on either side of the barn (A16). I assume the funnel and the webs fill the large open area at the centre of the room and the Huge spider is concealed within the webs against the back of the room.
The cages are in the corners on top of the elevated platform at the back of the room.
