I figured it wasn't actually my fault. But I have in the past killed Rl's by not posting so I thought it would be a twist of fate to kill one by posting đ
Once it became clear that their original position wasnât going to call forth any additional spiders Barth had leapt down from the branch he had placed himself in and followed the others along their path. Despite the fact that some of his actions came out of nowhere and were clearly not planned out, Barth wasnât a complete fool. He noticed while climbing that he was no longer creating vibrations with his movements. It was easy enough for him to realize that his plan of coating his hands and feet with his webbing was the cause of this, after all that was the only thing that had changed recently.
Since it appeared that the spiders relied primarily on the vibrations to figure out their positions, Barth decided to follow the group from a distance. He kept pace with them but remained a way off to their side. It gave him a position to flank from in the event they were confronted out of the blue, provided his theory was correct.
Eventually their traveling came to a close, at which point he moved back in to group back up with the other three. He still kept a little distance between them, but he was close enough that heâd be able to hear any pertinent information that needed to be exchanged. It became clear why they had stopped, as not too far ahead of them rested a spider much larger than the previous one. This one also wasnât alone as the entire area was covered with tiny spiders.
He couldnât help but admire Gird as the pale one took it upon himself to act as bait, the Hobgoblin had a lot of bravery. His plan vaguely reminded Barth of something he would do, though perhaps a bit more thought out. Unfortunately it seemed that Girdâs plan worked about as well as most of his did. That is only partially succeeding. It seemed to gather the attention of large spider, but rather than charge Gird by herself she sent out the spiderlings in her stead.
A new plan was quickly formulated, the first half by Gird who decided to once more be bait and led the young spiders away while the second was crafted by Luz. Not only was it practical, but it worked towards the strength of the three that remained. She was clearly stronger and faster than either Nyma or Barth and would have a better chance keeping the spiderâs attention in a frontal assault.
Before they enacted their plan of attack Luz asked for a moment to send out a prayer to the Deity the other three shared. Barth took the time to do something similar, though as of yet his prayers were sent to an unknown Deity. âHeya, itâs Barth again. Wanted to say thanks to whoever helped me out before and was hoping a little luck could happen again. I get it if youâre busy, or you want me to figure out who you are first, but I figured it wouldnât hurt to ask. Iâll get back to ya after this scuffle of ours!
With Luz starting her portion of the plan Barth quickly moved to follow through on his end. He hoped that between the fact that he wouldnât be sending out any vibrations due to his webbing coated feet and his uncanny luck he would be able to provide more assistance to his group than previously.
âNyma I am going to strike from the right, so the left is all yours.â He took a moment to speak to his partner softly before moving off to whip around to the spiderâs side. Once Luz got itâs attention he would slow his movements to limit the amount of sound he made to aid his approach. Once within reach he would strike out at the spiderâs large abdomen with the spear Gird had returned to him, the Alpha Rabbit Horn had been returned to its place on his waist when he got the spear back.
