[QUOTE="talien, post: 5586996, member: 3285"] [b]Flesh for Eihort: Part 4 – The Blessed of Eihort[/b] They entered under an oddly carved overhang, and it was as if they had turned over a stone in some dark moist place; things came alive and retreated into the dark. The labyrinthine tunnels were lined with an unidentifiable soft substance. The place was alive – Jim-Bean could sense that life pulsed and watched from every unlit room. Their makeshift torches flickered in the darkness, illuminating three human-shaped stalagmites. "What is that?" asked Hammer, disgusted. "Human bodies." Archive wrinkled his nose. "I think." The corpses were swathed in what appeared to be thick spider webs. Jim-Bean inspected one closer. "What happened to them?" The eyes flicked open of one of the figures, mouth working soundlessly at first. It was a woman, and her voice rose in a strangled moan of terror. "The Bargain!" she wailed. "I MADE THE BARGAIN AND IT'S COME DUE!" Archive glanced around at the flickering shadows. "If Chubb didn't know we were here, he knows now." Hammer shook his head and sighed. In a flash his shiny new Glock was aimed at the woman's forehead. He needn't have bothered. The scream terminated in a choking gasp followed by a liquid, bubbling cough. The woman's face tore, a rent appearing from temple to jaw, opening the cheek to hang revealed; there was no blood – only something pale as things that had never seen the sun, pouring down the woman's body, which deflated like a balloon. The other two bodies opened like overripe fruit left bloating in the sun, their contents adding to the white swarm. Hammer leaped backwards as the swarm of enormous fat white spiders rolled forward. He reflexively brandished his torch and the spiders recoiled. "They fear fire!" said Archive. "Burn them!" The swung torches before them in wide arcs and the spider shrieked like infants, wailing for their mother. All Jim-Bean could think was that he had nearly made the bargain too. [/QUOTE]
