Re: Attercop! Attercop!
The man is sick, so much so he throws up a little into the bushes as he get's to his feet. Things are getting blurry and its hard to breath, and now his mouth has a terrible taste to it. He grabs his axe in both hands and swing into the air, and strikes the spider right between the eye bundles. His long hafted axe splits the skull like a log and wedges itself inside the attercop. Sick and staggering Aerith manages to pull the weapon clear, his blurry vision showing him one spider remains.

Re: Attercop! Attercop!
Wren eyes Aerth hurl in the brush yet recover to down one of the spiders. That leaves the one near Varuthil who is having her own issues. Wren readies another arrow, draws and fires in the direction of the last foe.

Number Six: "I am not a number, I am a free man!"
Number Two: "Muh ha ha ha ha!"

A moment to breath....
Wren turns, eyes on Aerth, but the man chops the spider's head open. So he swings around and fires off a shot at the spider rearing up over the webbed Varuthil. The arrow whistles through the air and strikes the spider in the back of the neck. The shaft and head vanishes inside the spider ripping it up and pokes out the front of its body right in Varuthil's face. With a scream it topples forward to the dirt path very much dead.
Baldor shouts, "Come on! Let's go!" He runs over to Varuthil and tries to help her get cut free of the web so you can run for the camp, which can't be far now.

Re: A moment to breath....
Aerth is dizzy, stumbling as he turns to follow Baldor. "Not -- too -- far .."
Aerth falls to his knees, picking himself back up, and supporting his weight on a nearby tree. "I am --- going --- to stop --- pass --- out?" Aerth is not sure what is happening, but he knows it isn't good. "Help --- me --- walk?" he asks anyone.

"Thank you," says Varuthil to Baldor as he helps her out of the webbing. "Let's get Aerth back to camp. Once there, I can look at him to see if I can do anything to stop the poison." In the mean time, she offers him a spider-web covered shoulder to lean on.

"If you two can handle helping Aerth I can keep watch as we make our way back." Wren keeps his bow at the ready and waits until the others are ready to head back.

The End
Baldor and Varuthil grab Aerth, in a few moments he not only passes out but his body takes on a dead look. Vaurithil is worried at fist, but quick examination of him proves he's alive, but paralyzed from the spider poison. Baldor and Varuthil hurry, the merchant is still very unsure just who you are or what is going on, but he works with those that freed him from the web none the less. Wren keeps the rearguard, his bow out and arrow ready to fire.
