As I exited the village into the fields I was attacked by 3 arachnos, i.e. half humans and half spiders. I took them out pretty quickly, but the presence of arachnos told me that they were responsible for the poisoned spring. I knew for sure that those things were pretty venomous. Some types were more venomous than others. The Deathweavers were the most venomous ones to my knowledge, and except for having a lethal poison bite they also could produces masses of poison from their leg tips. Gladly one of the arachnos I took out was a young deathweaver. I ripped a ti
p of one of his legs very carefully and decided to use it as a weapon.
Beating a few more arachnos as well as ordinary oversized spiders on my way I reached the spring. Next to it I saw a woman figure. I walked up to her. She turned out to be a water nymph, or precisely a naiad of this spring. I asked whether the spiders poisoned the spring and she said yes. I then asked where could I find their nest and she pointed in the direction of a cave nearby the spring.
I quietly crept towards the cave and entered it. Ordinary arachnos were not a big problem. I knew I could take them out in seconds, but I was more worried about meeting deathweavers. I knew for sure that to poison a whole spring there had to be a handful of deathweavers behind it.
As I made my way through the dimly lit cave I took out several packs of oversized spiders and arachnos. The deeper I went into the cave the more fear I had. But fear is useful if you know how to channel it into strength and speed. I could do it a little, but it is mostly the defenders that are masters at doing that.
I finally reached the nest. At first I hid behind one of the large rocks and peeked out in order to count all of the deathweavers that I could see among the huge number of arachnos and spiders that lived there. I knew for sure that the deathweavers are the ones I had to take out first. There seemed to be a reasonable number of them there.
By gaining some strength in my muscles I got up from my position and ran forwards. A few arachnos, including deathweavers have spotted me. The deathweavers began their attack by throwing a few venomous sacks in my direction. I dodged those no problem and proceeded to the melee combat with these venomous crawlers.
Deathweavers also had a relatively poisonous breath and so while coming too close to them I had to hold my breath, because smelling a deathweavers’ breath could make you sick for days.
Stabbing a venomous leg tip into their torsos proved to take them out quickly and that’s what I kept on doing. The first wave was beaten and now the second wave of arachnos approached. Again starting their attack with venomous sacks that I dodged successfully again they all went down.
The third wave contained more deathweavers. I quickly lunged myself into the middle of the battle in order to stab as many of them in little time as possible. I succeeded, but also received a nasty deathweaver leg tip stab in the left arm. Damn that broken crude buckler that didn’t do its job. After I killed them all, it took me a good number of potions to heal the wound. I knew that it would still hurt for a few hours, but I could stand pain, so that was OK.
I then searched through the pieces of armor dropped by the dead deathweavers, picked the best ones and put them on. Soon after I exited the cave and saw that naiad all happy and grateful for my deed. She blessed me with some health and energy and I was ready to go back to Tegea to tell the good news.
Everyone in Tegea was happy, and after getting a snack I decided to take off to Megara. There was a pack of zombies right outside of Tegea’s gates. I took them out with no problems. All that venom from deathweaver’s leg tip didn’t affect the zombies, but it surely did a good job against all the pigs and satyrs that I met on my way. Soon I made it to a small coast. From the bluff on which I was standing I could see the whole coast. Two types of creatures seemed to dwell there: Ichthians and giant turtles. I knew that both of them won’t be a problem as long as I take them out quickly. I began descending the bluff.
