Summary: Sloane, a traveling mage and hustler, encountered a curious little creature—a chatty spider that fit snugly in their hands. But this wasn’t a harmless garden or cellar spider. It demanded blood and flesh, and when mice failed to suffice, moved on to bigger prey. Sloane appeased it as best they could, but as the spider rapidly shot up in size, turned their focus from butcher shops to farms. Together, they concocted a plan to “solve” a manifested loss of cattle. The spider got a steady supply of food, and Sloane got street cred as a “monster slayer”. But that neat plan swiftly falls apart when the spider brings new life into the world, hundreds of equally ravenous juvenile spiders. Now Sloane has a very real infestation to contend with, along with suspicious rangers and wannabe hunters edging in on their turf. “…I’m gonna need a bigger boot.”
