>Oh hell it does talk!
>Keep running, back to the path. Then down the path.
>AUUUUUUGH WHY
>You run past Veronica and start struggling through the bushes. Ahead you can see the path; and the fairy you rescued, cutting through the bushes ahead with magic, to help you escape! Just a little farther...
>Don't look back
>Look back to make sure nothing is coming.
>If we see something, squick
>"AGAGHAGHAGHAGHAGH"
>You really don't want to.
>But you really should. You look back and see... eight silver-colored, furry, spidery legs. With a woman's torso and head attached to them. At a different time, your gaze might linger on her naked chest; but you're a bit TOTALLY FREAKING OUT right now, and your eyes move on the head, which has short silver hair and a face with... oh god, she has lots of red eyes on her face. And now she yells "YOU TWO!".
>In response, you yell "AAAAAGHHAGHGHGHAGHAHGHGHGHGHHHHH" back at her in terror, and she charges. Veronica looks back, and in desperation, throws the Magic Knife at the spider-woman. It strikes her in the chest, making her roar in anger. This buys you enough time to reach the path the fairy has cut through the bushes, and the three of you manage to run back to the main path.
>None of that noise making if it can be helped, we don't need to give it more ideas where to find us.
>With all those eyes it had, and the noise you were making by going through the bushes, you're pretty sure it knew where you were anyway. And you bet it still does.
