Thanks to an excellent plan and the team's coordinated efforts, destroying the spiders proved to be easy; everything went smoothly – each creature leaving the lair was immediately destroyed. When it was all over, they counted just over a dozen spiders. "Okay, now we need to hurry, right?!" Vincent exclaimed, horrified as a truly enormous spider, ten times larger than the previous ones, crawled out of the lair. "That's the queen!" However, the relentless fire didn't spare her either; killing her would be twice as easy as in a normal situation, but she still posed a threat. As before, Daar was the first to enter the fray. Unlike his smaller offspring, this giant was an easy target, and Daar had no trouble hitting her. Nevertheless, this only enraged her – her counterattack hit a vulnerable spot in his armor. With the next swing of his sword, Daar struck the monster again. Seeing that his comrade was in danger, Vincent slung the arquebus back over his shoulder and drew his rapier, joining the battle at close range, immediately delivering four quick strikes. Redram provided support with crossbow bolts from a distance, while Faelvir cast Clean Water on the wounded. The queen attacked her last tormentor – the man with the rapier – and with two blows, almost killed him. Despite his wounds and poisoning, Daar continued the fight, hacking at the repulsive body of the creature with his heavy two-handed sword. The creature retaliated in kind and struck the elf so hard that it knocked him off his feet. Poisoned, Vincent managed to make only three swings with his weapon. Hostor continued to keep his distance, showering the monster with bolts. Faelvir used Clean Water again to help the elf with the two-handed sword. The spider, in turn, intended to destroy the insolent man with the rapier, and she succeeded, striking him dead with one blow; the second blow, piercing his armor, hit the recovering elf. Putting all his remaining strength into a final strike, Daar plunged his sword into the head of the eight-eyed creature, ending its existence. Vincent. Health: 0 (150).

Thank you, Vincent, R.I.P.


- Vincent... - Daar whispered quietly, gritting his teeth in pain.

Meanwhile, due to the lack of evidence linking him to the murder of the imperial army soldier, Helkehon was released from custody.

Vincent R.I.P. Thanks to the queen for this.

Noticing a new visitor in the tavern, whose appearance and manners revealed him to be a nobleman, Reynold began to listen carefully to the words of this strange visitor. Hearing something about a "general," Trust understood that he could help the aristocrat. And it was worth helping, as influential acquaintances are never superfluous, and the blond womanizer was clearly one of them.
- I've heard something about "generals," and I think I can help you," the battle mage said politely, bowing to the nobleman.

with a single blow, she struck him down.

Fool! Idiot!
Hostor, barely able to move, approached Vincent's body and knelt before him.
He could have just used magic! And everything would have been much easier! Vincent would be alive... I am to blame for his senseless death.
- Rest in peace, friend, - Redram closed the eyes of the deceased. - We may not have known each other for long, but you proved yourself worthy. And... - Hostor looked away, - I promise I will try to find Gracia and help her...
After a moment of silence, the mage stood up and turned to his companions.
- I'll take a couple of torches and check the cave. You rest for now... We'll bury Vincent when the girl is saved.

- I've heard something about the "generals," and I think I can help you, - the battlemage said politely, bowing to the nobleman.

- Hmm, what kind of help are you talking about? - the man added after a moment, - I think I'm much older than you, so there's no need to be so polite.
Perhaps it's good manners. However, I doubt it, considering a certain arrogance in his piercing gaze; he probably has something up his sleeve.

Fool! Idiot!

Daar had regained some strength and managed to call out to Xostor:
- Hey! Where are you going? What if there's someone else there?

- I can handle it.

- Well... Daar hesitated. - Good luck to you.

- I can take you to General Catherine; I also have some things to take care of, - Reynold said, already in a more familiar manner.
"Hmm, and he's not the type who likes people sucking up to him. Quite fortunate, I must say."

Hostor Redram went into the cave and tried to find the girl as quickly as possible. It wasn't difficult; he quickly identified a cocoon smaller than the others and carefully cut it open with a folding knife. The girl had been dead for several hours.

- I can take you to General Catherine; I have some business of my own to attend to, - Reynold replied, in a more familiar manner.

- That would be wonderful.

:smile05:
Reven, you're ruthless

- Curse! - Redram kicked the cave wall in anger.
And why isn't this a forum with a rating of 21? =[/COLOR]
- It was all in vain... - Hostor, completely devastated, lowered his head, but after a few minutes, he gathered his strength and decided to examine the other cocoons.

With a gesture, Trast ordered his newfound acquaintance to follow him, and as they headed towards the ziggurat, he decided to ask a couple of questions: - By the way, since I've offered to help you, would you mind telling me what motivates your search?

Maris, please, she's a loli!

After a few minutes, he finally gathered his strength and decided to examine the other cocoons.

In most of them, he found only human remains; among other things, he found 39 coins, a round shield +1 (chance to block an attack +15%), a small dagger. Damage - 4-8 (physical). OD: 3, a bottle of elven wine (restores 10% health).

- By the way, now that I've offered to help you, would you mind telling me what your motives are for searching?

- Oh, I have a personal interest in her. I've heard that she is quite beautiful, and the fact that she is a warrior and even a general only adds to her charm.
Hmm, this guy is definitely not an ordinary person.
