Success

Aha!

Here, beneath the mouldering floorboards. You pour hot wax through the holes. There may be more nests...

Rare Success

There's more to this...

[…] The rhythm of the sorrow-spiders' whisperings is the same as the muttering of that blind beggar outside!

[…] how many other infestations like this one are no accident, and how many other ragged beggars are whispering significantly near them...

Description summary:
You put your ear to the floorboards and listen to the spiders. They seem to warn the beggar outside, who vanishes down an alley. A chipped relic is left in his bowl, and in the building most of the spiders scuttle away.

Failure

No luck

A sorrow-spider can squeeze through a hole the size of a plum, disappearing in an instant. They're maddeningly difficult to track.
