Player: How is it to try to chop through it with the axe?
DM: You can go try to either the one behind you or the one ahead.
Player: Yeah, I want to try doing it and see if it sticks to the weapon or if it cuts through.
DM: To the one ahead?
Player: Yeah.
DM: Okay. You come forth to the web there in front of you to where the two other figures that are massed there. They are both humanoid and you now look over at a close glance as a third one, small, looks to be another one of the rat creatures that is caught in there. You carve through. Go ahead and make an attack roll. Roll damage for the handaxe.
Player: Seven.
DM: Seven, okay. You carve through and a large part tears through before your handaxe stops and you're like (grunts) can't push any more. You try and pull back and as you do, you pull your arm back and it gets ripped from your grasp and it's now stuck and folded, and your handaxe is now wobbling in the web.
