[i]Oh… of course… I… have a… [b]HOW IN THE SEVEN HELLS DID I FORGET TO BRING A TORCH WITH ME? [/b][/i]

Macey was just about to find a way of rather tactfully asking whether any of the troupe just [i]happened[/i] to conveniently know fire magic to make up for her idiocity, before Sinthe produced a rather well thought out torch making kit. And now that the hunters could see more than a few fox-leaps ahead of them, they could all get a good look at the absolute beauty in front of them. 

Macey’s eyes glittered and danced with the fire light. Yes, she was far more captivated by the giant spider monster than a normal human should have been - in fact, Macey hadn't been brimming with this much enthusiasm at any other sight in this world; much less another human being. Sure, it might have been not such a pretty sight for the poor sod caught between its jaws, but still.

Still, with any luck, those snake eyes would be pointing downwards for the most part. Or backwards. Or in any direction that wasn’t towards them. 


[color=a2d39c]“Well. I’ve got a gun” [/color]Macey said, drawing the shotgun out of the holster again. [color=a2d39c]“And Jenniver has a crossbow.

"Also, if it isn't too much to ask - could we please save the face? The spider one that is. I mean, like don't crush it or anything, it looks like it'd make an awesome wall mount. It's just so [i]pretty.[/i]"
