With a final, coordinated effort, Arpious and Elara brought the massive spider-monster to its demise. Arpious swung her scythe in a wide arc, severing the remaining legs of the creature, rendering it immobile. Elara, summoning her last reserves of magical energy, unleashed a devastating burst of power that engulfed the spider-monster in blinding light.
The forest echoed with the creature's final, tortured screech as it succumbed to the combined might of the two adventurers. Its massive form quivered briefly, then fell lifeless to the forest floor. The eerie, oppressive atmosphere of the Witch City's Forest seemed to lessen as the once-daunting spider-monster was vanquished.
