***** DALE - The Spiders*****

The Mother Spider avoided the Dwarf and his wicked axe. 'He has a mean bite! I will not face him yet.' From the corner of her eye, she had seen a fairer prize and now went after it.

The elves had gathered in a tight knot and sought to escape her poisonous bite. Two of them she knew. Orodan! And his loathsome sword! And Nefros, with his two vile blades! They had killed many of her kin, and she meant to see them dead today. 'But that will come later!' she thought to herself, 'when I have time to play more with them.' she advance slowly on the third Elf, who quailed now before her.

The Spider grazed her arm with a light and deadly touch of fangs, and watched as the elf fell in a small heap on the ground. Two of the Spider's daughters had come now to harry the two elves who still stood their ground. The Spider shot a strong and sticky thread of silk upon the fallen elf and dragged the limp body to her. Wrapping it securely in a shroud-like skein of spider silk, she piled it behind a tree and went toward the great one who stood rallying his troops about him.

He was large and robust! She rubbed her two front legs together, then groomed her fangs. They could feast on him for days!
