He checks to make sure they are still secure and that they can be opened again without having to magically unseal them. Then, he notices one of the medium-sized spiders hiding in the small treasure room behind the dais. It is doing its best to stay hidden, stay quiet. It make no aggressive movement or sound towards the dwarf champion.The Northlands centaur moves towards the large spider climbing up over the double doors leading out of the courtyard.Caerth considers the centaur' words but he is more concerned with Shouzas' behaviour. The magical beast seems very concerned about, something. Could there be something else inside the ruins? Something left behind by the nightshade. He moves towards the scorpion and speaks to Shouzas in a firm voice. "Shouzas, calm down!"Shouzas stops slashing at the webs and turns to Caerth. The creature's eyes are still glowing, but as the half-orc druid stares down the creature, the glowing fades. Shouzas chitters happily at Caerth and relaxes, somewhat. The creature is still on edge. Caerth puts his hand on the scorpion's head.He looks back towards Angus who is about to chop the spider in half. "Angus, leave that spider alone!"OOC: <a href="http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=282065" target="_blank">Caerth - Wild Empathy check (with Bully Animal): 1D20+12 = [19]+12 = 31</a>The spider takes advantage of the pause to finish climbing over the wall and running off into the hills.Caerth keeps his focus on Shouzas while talking to the others. "I think there is something else that is more important than the spiders. Shouzas is still nervous. If there are more spiders and they attack, then we will do what we must."Aureus goes over to the dead spider that Angus chopped in half and looks at it closely. "I'm no expert, but this spider looks, strange. Should it have these ugly looking bumps on it?"Caerth comes over to look at the dead vermin. He shakes his head. "Angus, we should have let you kill that other one. The spiders have some sort of disease. I don't think it is natural. The infection is probably how the nightshade controlled them." The half-orc druid shakes his head. "It will be kinder to kill them. They'll probably all die within a few days.""Can you cure them?" Aureus asks."Maybe, but it would have to be soon... and there is something else here," Caerth inspects the spiders guts and Aureus looks like she's going to be sick. "Yes, this isn't just a disease." He wipes his hands on the grass and stands. "I think spiders might be cursed."OOC: <a href="http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=282066" target="_blank">Caerth - Knowledge (nature) check: 1D20+20 = [14]+20 = 34</a>"We need to try to find those that escape inside," Caerth agrees. "We need to end their pain, or try to heal them. I doubt they'll be willing.""There is one in there," Aureus points towards the small room behind the dais. She looks at Maur and Phar. "Is it still there?"</blockquote>
