Bring the Drider

As you assess the situation, you think that you may have missed your chance to get Eboth. Now his teammates were getting close to him and beating back the spiders. You feel like if you attacked now the priestess might blast you with some spell while you tried to take down the healer with your new crossbow. However there was still a chance. There were still a fair number of spiders to keep the heroes busy and unable to recover from the encounter while you went to fetch the drider. Surely she would help you? You recall that a good portion of the drider's lair has water on the floor and you think she would be relish the chance to stop the party before the priestess of lightning could show up to fry everything. Taking a look around, you see that the group should still be bogged down by spiders for a few minutes. You take off towards the drider's lair.

You reach to gloomy hollow in no time. It takes a minute to find the drider as she isn't on the ground, but up in a tree looking down at you with a curious expression. "And what do you want, dryad?"

"Umm..." You hadn't really thought about what you would say, though fortunately the drider didn't appear interested in hostilities with a fellow monster. "Well there's a party of three heroes coming to kill you and I was hoping you would help me kill them so I could level up?"

The drider frowns for a moment. "Well... I rather like fighting in here. I can escape into the tree branches in this area, but they are too small outside of this hollow to support me. I will have to decline, dear dryad. Though I think it is adorable that something as lowly as you seeks to become a more powerful monster."

You huff in exasperation. "I'll have you know I've killed two heroes this life! I even got a crossbow that my last victim dropped before I killed her! And the heroes outside are ****. I killed one of their party to get this crossbow and right now they are trying to fight there way out of a spider nest I lured them into to slow them down and weaken them!"

This prompted the drider to look at you with a surprising amount of respect before dropping down from the tree with a thump. Like you, it seemed the drider was subject to the sexualization of Griever's Swamp. Aside from the large spider abdomen and eight legs, she had the body of a sexual goddess. She was a pale beauty with a surprisingly large bosom her showy bikini-like armor only barely covered. Her female sex was covered by a flirty looking dancer's cloth veil. Her head was crowned by lengthy white hair done up in a sensually messy bun while her face had the sharp features, pointed ears, and porcelain skin of the ever-beautiful elves. You immediately added getting with the drider to your list of goals. She seems to catch a hint of this in your eyes as she smirks and remarks, "Easy there, dryad. My eyes are up here, and trust me, you aren't nearly high enough level to be my partner."

The playful tone in her voice surprises you, you would have expected one of the bosses of Griever's Swamp, especially a drider to be more about doom and gloom, ****, and maybe bondage and sadomasochism given the environment. "Let's go slaughter those heroes, little dryad." It occured to you that maybe she just saved her viciousness for the heroes.

"Of course." You grin and head out of the hollow with the drider, catching the sway of her bosom out of the corner of your eye and widening your smile. "Like I said, it's a party of three. A lightly armored fighter with twin swords, an elf healer who is also the light source for the party and has some fire and radiant offensive spells, and then there's this crazy aggressive priestess of Remas who throws lightning all over the place." As you get closer to the hilltop separating you from the heroes in the spider den you can hear the an occasional thunder and see the flashes indicating Tabitha was still up. You playfully remark to the drider, "Since I can't get with you, can you leave the priestess for me to have fun with?"

The drider giggled, "Sure thing sweety, just let me have the fighter since he's probably the highest level, you can take the healer too." The drider's willingness to share brought a smile to your face. The two of you crest the hill and see the heroes inside their circle of light. The majority of the spiders have been slain, but the fighter looks to have taken a few too many lucky hits from the spiders and is on a knee next to the healer to receive some healing magic while the priestess throws lightning at the odd group of spiders that comes their way. You notice that she is more conserved with her spells than she was when you left, meaning she was probably running low on mana.

Currently you are poised with the drider at the top of a hill leading down into the spider den where the heroes are huddled.
