Whew! Thanks Derrell. The air was getting pretty funky in there.

*holds up hand to show Derrell his spider bite*

*notices that there is no spider bite*

Say, that's funny. I could have sworn the spider bit me right there... Wait a minute. That's the same place where Shan jabbed me with the fork! Dude, it's that salve of yours! I suppose that spider venom would have turned my innards to jelly by now.

I don't know if Telp merely startled the spider or if the spider is truly afraid of Telp's glorious light. Anyway, it will probably come back.

Let's look around quickly and see if there are any more cocoons.

This place is weird. Yeah, let's see if anyone else has been unlucky enough to meet that spider.

Now how did that stupid goat get down here? Lazy goat...could've chewed himself out by now with a little effort.

*hopes goat's innards haven't turned to mush by now*

Let's keep looking, but watch out for that spider.

Hey Derrell, try over there behind the bachelor wizard's big screen tv. I'll look by the hot tub.

It's Mayday and Javert! I hope it's not too late.

Do you have any magic?

Well, I have the salve I gave you. Maybe it'll help them. If not, I'll se what else I can find.

...Telp said "drink up! I heard Ungoliant is coming"

Let's get them over to Telperion. That salve of yours should work great on the bite wounds.

Hello Fallow. Good to see that you're up and about.

Let's see if we can get the big screen working, so we can watch Monster Garage.

Mayday can keep the spiders at bay until Inspector Javert wakes up. Hopefully he can sort this mess out for us.

I'm not going back upstairs to face those wenches until we know what's going on. Hope we don't have to survive on pizza crusts and jacuzzi water.

No, not in cahoots... More like they don't want anyone to get hurt, I think.

If the wenches don't want anyone to get hurt, then why do they harbor these spiders here in the Old bachelor Wizards' Basement?

*silently wonders if Mayday is in with the wenches after all...maybe they faked her abduction by a spider to plant her as a spy...she sure recovered from the venom quickly...look at the Inspector, he's still out...naw, I'm just paranoid*

*sips some of Fallow's gatorade*

Thanks Fallow

Here skillery, bend the vial to brak the small crystal inside, then through the vial into the middle of the spiders. Then duck.

As for the cocoons, I guess we'll have to open them.

You be the hero, and throw the vial.

Or does Mayday want to try some spells first?

skillery, I didn't want to use it unless absolutely neccessary. If any of us inhales it, well, let's just say there would be some very nasty consequences. I'd rather not say what they are. If Mayday's spells don't work, I'll use it

Would a standard 'smiting' spell work, you think?
