[Oh, he's so self-assured! Rinea is still a bit nervous, but she can't help but smile back at him.]

Yes, very well. Okay! [Rinea closes her book and stands up again, willing herself not to waver. Now that they're actually... you know.. going through with the thing, it's a bit scary...]

Adalhard, please act as rear guard. [The monster nods politely, hefting its shield and spear.

Rinea peers out at the cave entrance one last time, then back to Razor. Okay. Houghhhh. It's going to be fine.] Shall we?

[wuf]

Yes.

[ Razor lifts his hand to move over his wolf companion. It takes a few quiet steps ahead of him to scope out the area, and make sure that things are safe to continue on as they move. He hopes he could tell, too. He's not sure if he knows what a spider or spider web smell like. All he knows is to be careful and make sure that he doesn't get caught.

As far as he's concerned, he's done things at least this dangerous before. So the dangers don't seem to bother him. ]

Will. Keep safe.

[ After all, she had the magic that would help knock them out, right? He needed to make sure, above all, that she stayed safe so she could use her magic.

He's not really quite sure how far they'll need to go, but he'll know the moment he starts to see spider webs that they're close. ]

[Rinea tries to look brave in the face of Razor's calm, but truth be told her heart is beating hard. She has seen battlefields before, and seen monsters too... but she's never fought them herself. Okay, this doesn't really count as fighting (hopefully)... But still!

The hillside's cave entrance yawns wide before them, leading into the underground and away. All is still. Rinea doesn't dare speak as they approach, looking around at the bushes and grasses for signs of the arachnid burrows. Will the webs be solely on the ground, or do the spiders also craft them in the air...?

Just inside the cave, a spindly, skittering shape darts from one side of the entrance to the other. It makes no sound... but the feeling of being watched is firmly pinned upon them.]

[wuf]

[ He's confident because he's gone places like this and seen things like this before. Not exactly, of course, but he knows being afraid is dangerous for him too. Especially living how he does. So he does what he has to, what he likes to, and he does well.

Razor's eyes shift, and he keeps his senses sharp, so he's quiet, too. He's certain he would be able to smell something approaching.

As he steps, though, he notices some webs along the wall and stretches to the ground - not far from his feet. He slows, turning to look towards Rinea so he can point it out to her as a warning. A note to make sure she knows that one could be anywhere around here now. Especially since he's already spotted a web. ]

[silvergarden]

[Rinea nods silently at Razor's warning, grateful-- his eyes are sharp.

Just a few steps further and they're close enough, now, that Rinea thinks she can make the casting distance. Taking a steadying breath, she opens her tome and brandishes her pen.

The alchemic symbols, drawn in her careful hand, glow with an eerie light and float off the page, drifting into the cave and out of sight. ]

Wait a few minutes before you enter. [The be safe she wants to say is obvious in her whispered tone. The magic should have worked, but still... who knows what might be in there.] I will create the cage.

[wuf]

Understand.

[ He answers quickly. He's careful by nature. He listens, watches, smells. He's vigilant and attentive. Despite that he doesn't always understand words, he does understand that. So, he'll wait for her to get the pieces set, and then he'll make the move and lure them in. He's a good hunter - effective.

And he wants to do right by her and himself.

So he'll do the best he can, and he'll make sure that they get the job done because she did exactly as she said she would. ]
