On The Borders Of Safety

Tarnish pounced at the spider, claws and teeth bared. They tangled for a brief moment as he became almost overwhelmed by the amount of legs. The spider pushed him away, evading his attack and scurrying far up into the tree. He snorted. Served it right for messing with a raider!

He looked to where the family had been but was surprised to see them gone. Glancing down he saw the guide had secured the inhabitants safety. Tarnish scrambled down to where they were only to be told there was something weird at the base of the tree freaking the spider out. “Ok, I’ll take a look and see if I can figure out what to do.” If the tree was located over a fault or a geothermal whatever you call it there wasn’t much he could do.

He peered into the cave for a moment before charging down the most straightforward path. Let others pussyfoot around. He was on a mission!
