So yes, Chuck can take care of himself, and yes, Alistair needs to get back to the bar in one piece, but right now Chuck's in the best position to kill the damned thing and Alistair is not about to let him lose that ground.
If that means continuing to nip at the spider's ankles like a tiny, ineffectual, highly obnoxious puppy? So be it.
The creature's planted two of its legs closer together than the rest. It's not putting a lot of weight on the leg that's still got Alistair's other dagger embedded in it. With one leg off the ground, that means if Alistair quickly sheathes his dagger and gets a running start --
"Keep a tight hold!" he bellows up to Chuck.
Right before he cannonballs into the two closely-placed limbs, hoping to upset the spider's balance enough to make it stop clawing at Chuck.
