"I was taken in by the Hayes because I had no family, maam. This is our home, and I'll be burying ma and pa Hayes here and tending to whats left. Its how its done here. Now if you don't mind, I'm going to barricade us in the root cellar for the rest of the night and hope the world is still here in the morning. You're welcome to stay here, but I hope to not see that thing when I wake up." She grabs a couple of jugs and a candle and leads the young boy to a small trapdoor in the floor. After they have gone down you hear various noises of things being moved about.After they are down, the door opens slowly and the 'princess' peers in. Seeing no one who would recognize her she steps over the man spider's body to stand beside Zoe. "Its pretty much quiet out there, but I thought I heard a strange noise a couple of times... Some kind of shriek like an angry giant bird or something. This is more than you all signed up for, but I'm greatful for your actions here. The king- my father's men are probably combing the hills for us, and these people are missing even their usual cursory protection." (ooc: if you want to rest for the night, I'll figure XP and such, but I was planning a physical reward for this sidejaunt and there is one beastie left.)</blockquote>
