"A little help?" Thea remained trapped in the sticky webbing, not strong enough to break free and without a magical sword to cut her way out "we should get out of here before more of these creatures turn up!"

No fear, I’ve got this. Stand back, Two-Hander needs wide birth. Oh…never mind, you’re stuck. Well..just close your eyes and hold your breath.
Halav uses Two-Hander to free his faithful from the spidery strands!

He still is open to exploration of the web for possible loot or aid should we find someone webbed up alive after freeing Thea from the webbing.

He playfully says to Thea, "I see you're a bit stuck up."

"Are you alright?" Miyana asks Thea as she aids in freeing the girl.

Thea rolled her eyes at Barns, once Will freed her from the webbings "Hah! keep talking like that, and I’ll think you just like seeing me tied up" She ran her fingers through her hair, wincing as the sticky strands cling together. She just hoped the webbing would dissolve on its own, maybe if she washed it in a bit of water. Death would be too kind for the spiders if she ended up having to cut her hair over this!

"I'm fine, thanks. Lets just get out of here - it was too close a call to my liking..."

There is little in the way of true treasure; the deep forest doesn't see many travelers, and the bones scattered all over the forest floor belong to whatever unfortunate beast wandered into the vicinity. But treasure comes in many forms. The venom glands of the spiders could fetch a fine price with the right kind of buyer...

As for the cocoons hanging from the trees; the only hold the carcasses of animals, deer, wolves, and boars. But one of then stands out, the outline looking distinctively humanoid. Once you bring it down and cut through the webbing, you find a pale face of an eleven woman staring back at you - perfectly preserved, and untouched by decay, as though she is sleeping.

"We should cut her loose and take the body with us. She may have relatives who would like to know what has happened to her." Miyana offers. "I can carry her."

Halav strikes down upon webbing with sharp steel of Two-Hander!
Maybe she’s in a trance, or only mostly-dead, our neolegendary fellow speculates.

If there is a pulse, it is too faint to notice. The skin is slightly warm to the touch however, and inspecting the body, you find the telltale signs of a spider bite on her thigh.

The woman is a Vyalia [ref]], according to her 'clothing' - nothing but forest leaves held together by sap and mud. She might be alive, maybe ina trance to slow down the effect of the poision, but hauling her back all the way to Verge, especially in this weather, is going to be a hassle.

What do you do?

Barns retrieves his waterskin off his shoulder and tries to lightly splash some water upon her face to see if he can bring her around.

Barns splashes some water on the woman's cheek, but she doesn't wake. If you are to save her (if it's not already too late), then you need to find a way to deal with the poison coursing through her veins.

With divine confidence, our neolegendary fellow exclaims to the elven lass, By the name HALAV, poison, leave this woman!

https://i.pinimg.com/736x/3c/01/91/3c0191fa0132070fc71b256d7c9168a2.jpg Barns looks on as he has never really dealt with poison taking or using or really even seeing poisoned people till now. He does his best and recites a religious prayer in surprising clear Elven for Vyalia [ref] while Will does his thing.

I do hope she makes it. I never seen a wild elf like her. Could be very interesting. He wonders why she strayed so close to the spider's nest. He learned Elven long ago but really that much about elves in the process.

Miyana draws her dagger and cuts a slit across the wound, then begins to suck the blood from the wound, spitting out each mouthful.
Oct 10, 2025 7:24 pm
The woman's body jolts the second Miyana's dagger slices across her thigh. Her lips twitch, and a broken, hoarse sound escapes her throat, but you can't make out what she's saying.

Her hand reaches to tap at the small leather pouch on her belt, again and again, until her arm starts to shiver and falls to her side. Soon, her eyes roll in their sockets, and foam gathers at the corner of her mouth.

She doesn't have much time.
What do you do?

Halav grabs the pouch, opens the lass’ mouth…and begins pouring the contents therein!

https://i.pinimg.com/736x/3c/01/91/3c0191fa0132070fc71b256d7c9168a2.jpg Wizard Barns breaks curtly from his Elven prayer after seeing Halav'ous Will preforming the needed pouch duty, "Let's hope what's in the that pouch works. Wow. Miyana must have sucked that nasty poison out right out of her Elven body." He is guessing it wasn't his Elven prayers doing the trick. Would of course help if he believed but he is more for the Church of Thyatis as shown on a leather cord around his neck.
