The combat is brief but frenetic. A softly shining badger with streaks of silver in it's fur appears before the scuttling spiders, biting down on one with a sickening crunch that echoes through the forest. This great beast then vanishes, leaving only it's grim work behind to show that it ever existed. A thrown axe buries itself in a tree trunk a foot away from the second arachnid, eliciting a groan of frustration from Luludha.
The boar rushes past the party and the remaining spider then jumps at Garren, who stands his ground gamely. The thing's venom dripping fangs come close to piercing the Barbarian's guard, but hold it off he does, as Luludha takes a swing at the beast, again only missing narrowly. Then with a great heave, Garren pushes the beast off his chest and into the air where a wide swing of his sword sunders it in two, splashing ichor over the two combatants.
After directing the majestic badger to intercept the spiders, Orlok takes out his crossbow and loads it with fumbling hands, dropping some bolts to the forest loam. He sights at the beast with his finger on the trigger, only to find that his new companions have dealt with it already.
Silence descends once more on the wood, with only the retreating boar's squeals to be heard. Then even these fade from notice.
