CHAPTER ONE - BLOOD ON THE CROWN

---

Baldur held firm as Egg moved a bit closer, conjuring up a weapon of pure thought to hack at the webbing around the halfling girl. Ky then moved as close as anyone dared, she positioned herself just ten feet away from the girl and began to conjure sparks at will to break some of the webbing strands around the girl without setting the web on fire.

That was the moment it struck; a huge sticky glob of webbing came from above to cover Ky in its sticky strands. a moment later the thing was upon her as it dropped down upon her. The creature stood about twelve feet tall and had to way easily over 400 pounds.  It resembled a hunched, grayish purple humanoid with a distended belly, spider-like face (fangs, and eyes and such), and two sharp, black chitinous claws instead of hands and feet. Obviously, it did not like Ky freeing its prey.

The thick webbing keeps Ky from being able to move out of the way as the large creature sank its fangs into her left thigh, the large fangs piercing clean through, the pain was excruciating as the woman was helpless to move away at the moment.

The creature is an Ettercap, but it is the largest one you have ever heard about.

Ettercaps are typically only 6 feet tall and weigh about 200 pounds. Obviously this one is twice that. They are solitary creatures and rarely group with others of their kind, even to mate. When they do group, they tend to attract a variety of different spiders, forming a strange collective of ettercaps and arachnids. Ettercaps are known for building cunning traps out of webs and other natural materials, using them to trap prey. They build shelters out of webbing, often high up in the trees away from other ground-based predators, and use monstrous spiders as lookouts and guardians.

Ettercaps are not brave creatures, but their traps often ensure that the enemy never draws a weapon. When an ettercap does engage its enemies, it attacks with its claws and venomous bite. It usually refuses to come within melee reach of any foe that is still able to move, and flees if an opponent gets free.

For the briefest moment Egg's eyes go wide at the giant spider-thing that descends on Ky. There's a slight hesitation not knowing whether to keep using his Spiritual Weapon to help free Byra, but Ky's the one in real danger, and he's not about to let her beautiful soul end here and now.

His fingers move quickly as he casts a Sacred Flame to try to distract and burn the monster and moments later Ky can feel at least some of the wound begin to heal up.

No words, no clever quips, no sermons. It's time to act as he steps even closer to the fight.

Kythera screams as the bite pierces deeply into her and the poison runs through her body. Her dark eyes stare in anger at the monster, but there isn't much she can do. She's trapped in this web that she was trying to clear. She feels Egg's light shine down upon the creature, and is warmed and soothed by a small bit of it that touches her. She is surprised that the light would be so helpful here. But she doesn't think she can rely on the light.

"Darkness save me!"

She dissolves into a black mist, easily flowing through spaces between the webbing and floating quickly towards the party, where she reforms into her corporeal body.

"It's an Ettercap, but twice the size of any I've read about!"

The giant bird moves forward to threaten the monster, pecking at it, but of course missing.

CHAPTER ONE - BLOOD ON THE CROWN

---

Egg moves a little closer as a wave of his hand brings down a holy ray of scorching light that washes over the creature as he burns into its flesh, whatever the creature was, it did not smell pleasant cooking in this way.  Another step forward and a pray left Egg's lips that sent healing energies toward Ky, enough that it stitched the bite partially closed, enough to momentarily give the woman some relief from the trauma the creature had inflicted.

A moment later Ky dissolved into a black mist as she flowed through the webbing that collapsed to the ground and she once again reformed nearby as her silent creation moved to peck toward the spider creature to hopefully give it a new target. Ky then used her legs to even put more distance between herself and the creature.

Yaldiled moved forward past Ky to take up a position as he sent a prayer across his companions as he called out inspirational words to Kythera.

Baldur raised the large contraption of a crossbow as he fired off two large bolts from it, both sinking deep into the creature's flesh as it now screeched out in pain as the weird beige substance that it had for blood dripped to the ground in a large pool.

Gwydion raced forward to put himself nearest the creature, taking up a defensive position in front of Egg.

The heavily wounded creature bites the image of the large bird that was near it, but as its mandibles passed through it, the creature realized that it was not real and then quickly moved toward Gwydion lashing out with its claws. The sharp talon like claws ripping into the man that dared put himself in front of the large creature. The rogue spun away from the worst of the assault but still, its claws had tasted flesh.

Kythera thinks about what she's read about ettercaps as she lets the bird dissolve into a puddle of shadow on the forest floor. The shadow almost immediately begins to coalesce into a small tree, the branches quickly grow and twist into the shape of a woman, until a fully grown dryad, with branches for arms and roots for legs, appears next to the ettercap. It swings a club-like branch at the beast, barely missing. Kythera shouts out to the others, even though they all know this is another of her illusions.

With no one seeming in immediate peril, Gwydion holding his own locked blade against claw with the Ettercap, Egg arcs his neck a bit up trying to make sure he has a good vantage point at the creature. He lets out a flash of radiant light slamming into the creature.

He also gets to what he had started before, and begins to try to cut the webs around Byra with his spiritual weapon. It feels like so long as they kill this oversized spider-thin they'll be in the clear, but better safe than sorry. He almost feels like a conductor, attacking the monster with one hand and spell, and trying to free the young adventurer with the other.

Harder wholeheartedly agreed with the plan to free the halfling girl. It wasn't really a charitable impulse however. While definitely concerned for the child's safety, it was more out of a desire to protect their payday than her well-being.

"You summon that thing, kid?", he asks, thinking back to the stories they heard about her having a spidery clay statue. He seems partly impressed and partly incredulous. "Not bad, but the first rule of setting a trap is making sure you don't fall into it yourself...."

When the creature descends he growls, "Well, you're an ugly cuss, ain't ya?" As he advances on the creature, sword and shield at the ready, he adds, "This ain't gonna pretty you up, but it'll make me feel better about ya...."

He spends the first moments of the fight struggling to get his footing in the webbing and loses a beat but quickly recovers, delivering two quick slashes of his gleaming sword to the spider-thing's head and body.

CHAPTER ONE - BLOOD ON THE CROWN

---

As the giant bird dissolved into a puddle, a tree sprang from the ground and a dryad stepped forth to threaten the spider like creature further.

Baldur used the distraction of the tree to sing two heavy bolts into the creature, one in its belly and the second in its head.  The creature slumped to the ground before them dead.

Gwydion insured the creature's death by running his blades into the creature to confirm it.
