Spider Temple Splatter
It was an unusually cold night in Wheinmers, not many adventurers were out, most snug in their warm beds awaiting the sunrise of the next day.
Osyra couldn't sleep and decided to make another run to the Spider Temple and hunt a few Mammoth Arachnids. Being a Ranger, and having the ability to cast a spell called Mobility, helped her to dodge the one of the spiders most annoying attributes....the web. So she was not all that worried about them being able to touch or web her. Little did she know what awaited her in the dark, deep, life threatening Arachne home.
Walking through the outer part of the temple she found that there were mammoth arachnids in areas that there were not supposed to be any. She wondered why this was but continued on to where she knew the Mammoth Arachnids made their nests...their Spider Home. For all Osyra knew the Arachne Acolytes and the Arachne Priests were casting summon arachnid to make their much stronger roommates come to their aid.
Osyra made it to the Spider Home and awaited in hiding for an unsuspecting Arachnid to come skittering from some unknown crack in the wall. She didn't have to wait long, and one came skittering in unaware of what awaited it. Osyra attacked, lopping off it's head in one swing. Grinning to herself she hide again, waiting for the next 8 legged critter to scamper into the room. But it was an Arachne priest that arrived instead. Osyra grinned again, this time she would not only get experience but treasure as well, and maybe a gem. She ambushed the Priest's head but fell short of killing him outright. The Priest ran away from it's attacker, Osyra hot on it's heals. However, upon reaching the next room, Osyra stopped in her tracks....for there waiting for her in that room was something she had never seen before, something an Arachne Priest could feel safe hiding behind, something holding a weapon so dangerous it could cleave her in two with one shot.....and Arachne Warrior.
And that is exactly what this strange creature did.... It swung it's monstrous Claidmore and knocked Osyra flat dead.
Fortunately Osyra had visited the Temple in town recently and carried favor from the Goddess.......
