All seems much as you left it, although there is no sign of the girls, nor the spell-casting spider. The huge corpse of the spider-demon seems to be moving until you get closer. Then you can see (and hear) that it is being devoured by thousands of the normal-sized spiders that infest this valley. They didn't pay you any attention then, and they don't now.With a growl, the white girl leaps out of the cave mouth and adopts a defensive posture in front of it. Her sister peeks out of the cave behind her."Spirits preserve us," mutters Sister Herbalist. "It is them!"The Vashti closes her eyes and begins muttering a stream of musical syllables. Their meaning isn't clear, but the sound is soothing. The white girl relaxes visibly. The Vashti opens her eyes and pauses in her mantra."Her mood is calmed," she says, "They will not attack unless attacked first. Do what you think is needed, I must concentrate." She restarts her droning mantra.</blockquote>
