The three of them left that chamber in rather high spirits. Ermos' mind was still filled with thoughts of the treasure back in Skull Cavern. He only hoped that Pash would hurry up with his recovery so that they could collect it all without bother.
As they passed the bodies of those two giant spiders that Pash had slain, Ermos' apprentice paused a moment. "Do you think I'll be able to command one?" He asked.
"It's worth a try," Ermos said, "but best be quick about it. That Cherry girl is scary."
Pash closed his eyes and spoke a command to all those little spiderlings that he'd enslaved. "Dismissed," he said. Ermos couldn't see or feel any change within the room, but he could only assume that it had worked, for Pash held his hand out over the body of the giant spiders with a confidence.
