《Undetermined》Chapter 29- On the brink
Advertisement
Trevor did not seem to be worried at all, despite the fact that Rylth was edging towards him across the web.
Twang.
Twang.
With each step the giant female spider took, the cobwebs that held the antiheroes captive vibrated violently, only further inducing the terror of the situation.
The webs were extremely thick, and the diameter of a strand was multiple inches across. It was not something that could be so easily cut, but Trevor swung his hand behind his head and grabbed an arrow from his pouch.
In the time that the spider was listening to Trevor go on about pessimism and optimism, Garett had already used [Tactical Analysis] on the spider to reveal its statistics.
[Spider Queen, Intelligent and Wild Breed] (Lvl 12 )
Attack: 10-20 (Melee)
Physical Defense: 10 (Thick Skin)
Magical Defense: 0
HP: 60/60
MP: 5/5
Special skills: Spit Venom (Ranged poison attack), 5-20 Damage over time, Spray Silk- Trap enemies to restrict their movement (Ranged) , Magical Defense up: Cost, 5 MP, Increase Magical Defense by 5 for 2 attacks.
Trevor took the arrow and began to saw away at the sticky web, however...
[Player Trevor: Dexterity roll: minimum roll needed: 81]
Trevor chucked as if he knew that it wasn't going to work, but he did not seem to be worried in the least.
[Dexterity roll: 57. Failure]
And with that, the arrow which Trevor was sawing the web with caught into the sticky mesh of the cobweb so that it was glued in, and completely stuck.
[Trying to cut my webs with such a measly thing? How desperate of you... perhaps you were too overconfident in your own abilities...], the giant spider exclaimed mockingly.
She seemed to be enjoying the fact that Trevor was struggling helplessly, yet Trevor did not seem fazed.
"Could it be that you did not hear a single word I just told to my companion? Or perhaps you are even dumber than she is, and failed to comprehend them?"

At this provocation, the spider hurried up her pace as she quickly crawled across the web.
She was not taking any more of Trevor's taunting.
"WHY DO YOU KEEP ON PROVOKING HER!? ARE YOU AN IDIOT!!?!?!"
Samantha screamed at Trevor.
Samantha was shaking in fear as the spider continued drawing closer, and she began to try and break loose from the cobwebs, to no avail. They were extremely sticky, and very strong.
Why did Trevor seem so calm as he was about to be devoured?
Why did Garett and Ashley merely sit back and watch as this was happening?
Why did these three continuously take in these insane situations as if they were nothing? Did Trevor really have a plan, or was this another bluff?
"I think that's about close enough", Trevor said, as the spider was only a few meters away from him.
[What!?]
Ashley let out a smirk.
Even though she was bound by the stickiness of the threads, she was still able to move her fingers around to aim a spell.
[Evil Eye(Lvl 1)]
The evil eye formed from a gathering of black particles, pulsating and flapping its bat like wings.
[Player Ashley MP: 79/80]
While the evil eye was forming from the particles of darkness, the spider queen was too focused on Trevor to notice that Ashley was doing anything.
The spider queen lifted her giant hairy leg once she reached Trevor, and thrust it down into his abdomen.
[Player Trevor: HP: 28/35]
Blood spurted from Trevor's abdomen, and he spit blood out of his mouth as well.
He did not take as much damage as the minimum damage for the spider queen would suggest. The reason for this was because she was playing with him. She was furious with how he had acted so arrogantly towards her, and was not willing to kill Trevor off so easily.

The evil eye was taking quite a while to fully form. That was the one weakness of this skill, was that it took a long time to actually perform, and that the enemy had to be completely focused on someone else.
[I won't kill you so quickly you insolent piece of garbage.... I will show you that you were wrong to take such an attitude with me...]
The fangs of the spider queen were now seething with bloodthirst as she drooled all over the injured Trevor, however he continued staring at her defiantly.
The spider queen once more lifted her pointed leg, and stabbed Trevor this time in the leg.
Arm.
Other leg.
Everything except a fatal wound.
[Player Trevor: HP: 10/35]
Trevor was covered in punctures all over his body at this point.
Samantha could not bear to watch this.
"TREVOR!!!! YOU IDIOT!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING ACTING SO CONFIDENT ON THE VERGE OF DEATH!??!?!"
Samantha was crying at this point.
Tears flowed down her face for the sake of Trevor. Why was he doing this? Why did he provoke this spider so much? And most importantly, how was he still acting confident even as he was being stabbed? Did he not feel pain?
"This... blergh!"
Trevor spit up more blood.
"This is nothing compared to the daily stress I incurred in my line of work... blegh!!"
"I hope you will learn a valuable lesson from this, you dumb woman... And I thought you knew that you aren't supposed to say my name..."
Trevor said this as if he was speaking his last words.
"NOO!!! YOU CAN'T DIE LIKE THIS!!! YOU STILL HAVE TO PAY ME BACK FOR ALL THOSE TIMES YOU CALLED ME AN IDIOT!!! ARE YOU GOING TO JUST LEAVE US IN THIS WORLD ALONE!!???"
Why was Garett not doing anything? Why was Ashley so calmly casting her spell? Was Samantha the only person here who felt human emotions? A comrade was dying in front of them!
However, Ashley had finally finished her preparations.
[Paralyze]
[Player Ashley Intelligence Roll: 25. 25 Seconds of Paralysis]
The evil eye blinked and opened itself wide. The veins on the eye looked like they were about to burst, and the queen spider froze in place with her leg lifted above Trevor.
[What is this...]
Ashley smirked and began to chuckle.
"You really are a businessman, taking such a risk like that... I would feel bad if I didn't follow up and seal the deal... and you, woman. better heal him before he bleeds out. What are you doing crying before someone dies?"

Along the way, hopefully meeting new friends and learning some magic here and there. (Synopsis) Domhain - a world split between five nations and five unique magical gifts; home of elves, dwarves, goblins, trolls, and humans, each of them so different but in reality more alike than anyone would like to acknowledge. Twenty years ago, the humans, weakest of the five, secretly acquired powerful magic and set out for war. The united forces of the other nations stood no chance. Humanity prevailed, proving itself as the new leader of the modern world. Now, Domhain is at peace but tensions are rising again. The humans want more than their territory back. They want it all. And they want revenge. But this time, the elves hide a dark power, and will stop at nothing to wipe the humans off Domhain forever. War is inevitable. Thousands will die. And the power to stop it all falls into the hands of none other than a particularly tall fifteen-year-old elf orphan.

As if that weren’t enough, Ardan learns the orphanage has hidden natural magic from him, and the whole world is intertwined with it. More importantly, he, as an elf, has a particularly unique and powerful heritage. That heritage, along with the benefits of his new power makes him a target for the greed of many...

Wisdom And Wolf
When I was twenty one I bought my first motorcycle. My only motorcycle. A Harley Davidson XLX, Sportster. Her name is Rohdindae, it comes from the Silmarillion and loosely translates to Horse of the Silent Shadows. This two wheeled mare, of iron and steel, was my sole means of transportation for almost 5 years. Rain, sleet, snow, or hundred degree heat, it didn't matter, I was in the saddle. We went all over this side of the Mississippi together. To places long forgotten by progress or filled to their capacity with humanity. Interesting word humanity, it means all off human kind in one definition, generosity and compassion in another. How often these two definitions are at bitter odds with the other, is something to be seen. These words are a mash up. Tales of the road. The people I met, stories I listened to, and the loves I saw grow, all find themselves here, mixed within these pages. From Maine to Mobile and all the places in between, where people still, somehow, cling on to the good fight. The only fight worth fighting.
