Lorien sheats his blade to the small quiver that seems to be 1/3 too short for it and with the same motion pulls out a longbow from that same quiver, along with an arrow between his fingers. He nocks the arrow and fires at the closest spider-beast, right to the center!
[ooc]Quick draw feat so I can sheat the sword and draw the bow in the blink of an eye, then fire.
Seeing Gareth fall prey to the spider's poison, Sheyla speaks a short prayer to get him moving again. Looking around, she sees no enemy, she can easily reach, so the cleric stays where she is for now.
The burly man begins to move as yor spell takes effect. He shakes his head whil rubbing his left shoulder.

You arrow flies true past Sheyla and Reneg. The projectile penetrates one of the creatures eyes and sinks in right up to the feathered fletchings.
The beast never saw it coming as it was too intent on avoiding Reneg's attack. It crumples on to the pier, twitches onces, and then moves no more.
You all survey the area for more of the spiderbeasts. There are none. You have won the battle!

Halmar wipes his weapon on one of the corpses of the spiders. He looks to the others "This is a good day, good fighting everyone" the barbarian says happily
"Gareth! Are you all right?" Quinn exclaims, hurrying to the man's side.
After you climb down next to him, he takes ahold of your arm.
"I'm not sure," Gareth says as he slowly gets to his feet. "The wound isn't too bad, but I feel cold."
The burly man looks up at you with milky white eyes.

You quickly determine that Gareth is under the effects of a strong venom. His body's own fortitude seems unable to stop the poison on its own.
You quickly clean his wound and apply some salves, which helps the big man. He stops sweating and his eyes clear as his body begins to rebound and his breathing improves slowly.
OOC: Your Heal check replaces his failed Fortitude save against the venom's secondary effects.

"Thank you my friends," Gareth says. "Are they all dead? And Yorick... I must find Yorick."
The sheriff looks up at the partially spun webs on the underside of the pier. "I know that there isn't much hope or him but I owe it to him and his family to find out what happened to him."

"Worry not, we'll get to the bottom of it" assures the gladiator with determination, although he has not a single clue of where to start, if there's not an enemy to hack.

“Indeed, worry not. But we must proceed with caution. Vile forces are at work here.”
"And we must hurry," Gareth replies. "After all, you must still take the remaining boat to Gurnard's Head and deal with the harpies."

The webs under the pier aren't too extensive, but they become thicker behind the stone pierhouse. Several strands of webbing also stretch across the beachhead to the boat.
The spiderbeasts had been quite busy, and you can see several large sea birds in the webs under the pier. You also find strange, obvious impressions in the dry sand near the cliff wall that lead away from the pier to the northeast... towards Gurnard's Head.

“Maybe they have taken him there?” Sheyla wonders, while pointing towards the direction where Gurnard's Head lies, as they find the tracks heading there.
“Since this is our destination, anyways, why don't we get started? Is the boat big enough for all of us?”

Indeed it was. Lorien answers, impressed with the shot even himself.

It seems to me that you might be right. Lorien confirms Sheyla's musings as he inspects the boat.
