Kezoor shrieks in frustration. He renews his attack on Paido by creating more of the hideous creatures, but your companion uses his battle-magic to summon fire to his aid. From the tip of his sword a sheet of flame wafts down upon the spiders now closing in for the kill. They flare brightly, their legs withering in the flames, their crackling black bodies dropping to the floor and crumbling away to dust. ‘Attack!’ shouts Paido, and together you advance against your foe. Kezoor draws his sword and mouths a silent spell of protection as he prepares to engage you both in a fight to the death.
