From my reading, the Spider of Morlat could attack, but it would be
detainment. I looked up as many Spider enhancers as I could find
and nowhere did I see one that would get around the 'creatures
keyed to this site are detainment' listed on Under-Gates. But you
could really tap them out...

OLD RULING:
>>I noticed that there is a ruling that protected wizard havens are

>>assumption. Can we get a ruling on this please Van.

Freeholds are never considered the surface site of an Under-deeps
site. For other specific Under-deeps sites, like The Wind-deeps, it is
always a surface site. For non-specific Under-deeps sites, like
Ancient Deep-hold, it is only a surface site if the Under-deeps
site is in play.
