complete [kəmˈpli:t], capture [ˈkæpʧə], riot [ˈraɪət]

The spider raced across the chamber floor, the gray rope waving out behind it. Conan leaped high, clearing a couch — with a quick wheel the fiend ran up the wall, and the strand, leaping off the floor like a live thing, whipped about the Cimmerian's ankle. He caught himself on his hands as he fell, jerking frantically at the web which held him like a pliant vise, or the coil of a python. The hairy devil was racing down the wall to complete its capture. Stung to frenzy, Conan caught up a jewel chest and hurled it with all his strength. Full in the midst of the branching black legs the massive missile struck, smashing against the wall with a muffled sickening crunch. Blood and greenish slime spattered, and the shattered mass fell with the burst gem-chest to the floor. The crushed black body lay among the flaming riot of jewels that spilled over it; the hairy legs moved aimlessly, the dying eyes glittered redly among the twinkling gems.

Conan glared about (Конан огляделся), but no other horror appeared (но других кошмаров не появилось), and he set himself to working free of the web (и он принялся освобождаться от паутины; to set oneself to smth. — приниматься за что-л.). The substance clung tenaciously to his ankle and his hands (вещество цепко приклеилось к лодыжке и рукам; to cling — цепляться; прилипать), but at last he was free (но наконец он был свободен), and taking up his sword (и, подняв меч), he picked his way among the gray coils and loops to the inner door (он стал осторожно пробираться среди серых колец и петель ко внутренней двери; to pick one’s way — пробираться /с осторожностью/). What horrors lay within he did not know (какие ужасы находились внутри = за ней, он не знал). The Cimmerian's blood was up (кровь закипела в жилах киммерийца; one's blood is up — он вышел из себя; кровь кипит в жилах, кровь закипела) and, since he had come so far and overcome so much peril (и, поскольку он зашел так далеко и преодолел столько опасностей; to overcome — побороть; преодолеть), he was determined to go through to the grim finish of the adventure (он был полон решимости пройти до страшного конца приключения; determined — решительный, полный решимости; to go through — пройти; grim — жестокий; страшный), whatever that might be (каким бы он ни был). And he felt that the jewel he sought was not among the many so carelessly strewn about the gleaming chamber (и он почувствовал, что драгоценного камня, который он искал, нет среди того множества /камней/, столь небрежно разбросанных по светящейся комнате; to strew — разбрасывать).
