[ Attached is a picture of one of the spider nests in the Red Hills. It's from a wary distance but there are no spiders visible; only their many, many webs. The picture comes with a VOICED message: ]

I had thought to tackle this task myself, but I quite overestimated the number of arachnids here. I would like to collect some of this venom for myself in addition to what this quest asks, and for that I require some help.

[ A pause. ]

A healer would be a boon but I care not so long as you are capable.

I have enough awareness that I believe we should be okay. But in any case, you can trust me to keep you alive.

[ Jakurai isn’t too old! He’s fairly certain he can keep someone up as well as possibly kick a spider in the face.

He stands at the ready. ]

On your count, then.

[ He chuckles and shakes his head pointing further out. ]

They have a nest over there. Come. They should have scouts nearby we can pick off.

[ As if he would make his camp that close to them! Emet-Selch leads the way down. The webs start growing thicker here and things start to grow quiet. He slows, listening for an approaching spider. ]

god i am so sorry for the delay. work has been killing meee

[He just chuckles, low and under his breath. Of course he didn't assume his new acquaintance was foolish to make a camp close. He was actually fairly certain that he would be able to both keep Emet alive, and help pick them off.

It would depend on how well they can rely on one another in this time.]

[He chooses, at the moment, not to say much more. He wouldn't want to be the one to tip off the spiders into attacking right away.]

no worries o/

[emet_sulk]

[ In time, they reach the vestiges of the spiders' home. Webs cling to the trees. Smaller spiders scuttle away at their approach. Emet-Selch halts, bends down to pick up a stick, and begins to prod the webs. ]

If a swarm should approach, retreat immediately. I did not come here planning to die.
