As the two continued shooting at one another from range, Amon thought of something. He aimed his bow in a different direction and fired.
His bolt struck the head of one of the trapped humans. That human slumped lifelessly.
"No! What are you doing!?" The spider beast yelled.
It was as Amon had guessed. This beast needed these humans alive. Amon took another shot. Another bolt killed a second man.
"Stop it!" The beast roared. It shot its liquid frantically, but Amon was alert enough to dodge. Amon shot the third bolt.
This time, the beast came down and put itself in harm's way. It used one of its legs to slap the bolts away.
Amon threw his knife at this time. The spider beast didn't dodge. If it dodged, its prisoner behind would be hit by Amon's knife. It lifted its leg to swat the knife away. But as the knife was knocked away, a second knife followed.
