Q1: Queen of the Demonweb Pits is an adventure module for Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 1st edition, in which the party travels to the Demonweb Pits of the Abyss and battles Lolth, Demon Princess of Spiders and Goddess of the Drow. It is canonically the sequel to the Drow Trilogy Adventure Path, making it the ultimate conclusion of the campaign/super adventure known as Queen of the Spiders, after its omnibus format.
As with T1-4: Temple of Elemental Evil this one was teased back in 1979, but delayed. Only for two years though - so the flood of newbies Tom Moldvay brought in with his Basic Set didn't notice.

This module's Demonweb is three interlocking Moebius-style strips of pavement, in a plane where geometry itself is not on our side. The pavement is made of the damned; they carve tunnels in the Elder Chaos. The party needs to get under those strips to the fourth layer. The top three connect to interdimensional chambers, like rooms in a dungeon. The last layer connects to whole new worlds, or maybe planes, in the Prime Material. Here the party learns that Lolth has schemes on many worlds, some of which schemes have basically won.
Among the planes is Caer Sidi from "Three Hearts and Three Lions", and a pink ocean which will appear again in 2e classic Die, Vecna, Die!.
The Demonweb was the template for other multiversal nexi, like those in Beyond Countless Doorways and Planescape.
But then comes Lolth's lair itself which is meh. They should have spent another two years over it.
