If only the same could be said of the bigger spider.

Alistair twists away in time to avoid being bitten, but going on the offensive proves a bit trickier. A longsword can cut through nearly anything if you swing it hard enough. Daggers? Not so much. Trying to aim so precisely at the little gaps in the spider's legs slows him down more than he'd like.

Nothing for it but to keep hacking away, though.
