Leyora had nodded and set the salve up on a nearby shelf where it it as well as Terris could be watched and then she resumed untangling her mess of spiders being sure to separate them into the appropriate crate or cage as necessary. She had just finished with that when two things happened at once. One was the call to grab a large crate and the other was the raining of spiders as they all but flew into the crates and cages. while Leyora wasn't normally one to be squeamish when it came to the occasional spider, having dozens of them crawling right over her as they rushed into the crates was a bit more than she could handle. She let out a girlish squeal as she danced around trying to brush the osidae off of her, while simultaneously trying to make her way to the huge crate without stepping on anything living.
Terris beat her to the crate and thankfully got it where it needed to be. She had tried to help with pushing the crate up the ladder but she was more than a little nervous about the osidae that had scurried in the wrong direction and was stubbornly trying to crawl inside her mouth instead of over her body and into the crates with the rest of the spiders. Leyora suddenly was very glad that the venom did not cause blisters after all. There seemed to be nothing that she could do to deter the osidae. She was afraid of picking it off but holding it at the thorax, for fear it might bite her, so she was forced to keep putting one hand in front of it's legs to keep it from succeeding in actually climbing all the way in her mouth. This was done in between steps up the ladder. Her free hand was used to help keep the crate steady despite her desire to brush other spiders away. It was becoming evident that she would have to wait until she had both hands free in order to get her persistent pet out of her face.
Once she managed to enter the attic with the others she took great care in trying to coax the spider picking at her mouth to get up in her hair instead. Getting legs out of her mouth for just moment she looked helplessly at Duzell with tears in the corners of her eyes. "I'm sorry. I was slow. I'll have the medicine ready in just a minute..." Despite her desire to freak out fully, she offered a nervous smile and dropped back down the ladder to rid her hair and face of osidae and to shut the open crates. She fetched the remedy and waited at the bottom of the ladder, hoping that the salve won't be needed. As she waited, she tried not to laugh at how a headline from a town crier might sound when describing this situation. Now was not a time for laughter. There would be plenty of time for that later, if everyone made it out of the attic safely.

Duzell watched with a mixture of worry and relief as Terris and Cain got between him, Taki and the giant spider. As Leyora popped into the attic Duzell was glad to know that she was standing by with the antidote. He prayed they would not need it.
The giant Osidae slowed in its charge as another presence entered its mind. It calmed it and for a moment the Osidae forgot about its hunger. But then, it could smell food. For the first time in a long time it could eat something that was not hard Osidae. It swirled around to see some kind of creature, much smaller than the other new creatures in its home. The giant raced as fast as it could towards the Saydar in the large cage, devouring the creature almost entirely before the cage slammed shut. After finishing its meal the giant turned to go after the other fleshy targets only to find that their were bars blocking its path. It hissed and bit at the bars but was unable to break free. It tried to squeze through the bars but was simply too big. As it tired itself out the giant settled for hissing and trying to bite anyone that came near enough.
Duzell glared across the room at the cage. "Terris, would you mind taking that thing and, I don't know, doing something with it? I don't think it can bite through your armor." Duzell turned and looked around the attic. There did not seem to be a single wild Osidae left in the attic. Duzell picked up a few of the cages and headed towards the ladder downstairs. He turned to everyone still in the attic. "Help me lug all these downstairs. We'll divide them up once we can see better.
Duzell and the others regrouped downstairs with their captured spiders. Duzell looked around through the crates and cages. "Yeah, there's absolutely no way Leyora and I can take care of all of these. So, like it or not you're all taking some home with you." Duzell grabbed seven of the crates and began dumping some smooth Osidae into each of them. As much as he would have liked to make them even there was no way he was reaching into the hissing masses to sort them out now. He shrugged; they could trade later if they really wanted to.
Duzell turned to the cages holding the individual jagged Osidae. "I won't force any of you to take those monsters if you don't want to. However you're all welcome to some of them. Just don't take more of them than you can handle."

Taki was happy to accept some of the crystalline beauties, even picking up a few of the jagged cages including the one she had protected from the giant white osidae, feeling a particular fondness for that one. Yes, that red beauty had definitely found a way into her heart. In fact, that seemed like a perfect name for her: Heartstone.
*I'd love to take some of them with me, Duzell!* she accepted gratefully, then taking in the mass of cages giggled. *I think I'll need some help.* A quick call through her bond later, and Honor was on his way to help. Exerting all her empathy and affinity to keep hers - and as many of the others as she could - somewhat calm, she gave the new Innkeep a wry smile. *Though if there's any of the antidote to spare, or if you tell me how to make it, I'd like that too. You know, just in case.* Tam'kar meanwhile was sniffing carefully at the cages, and casting baleful glares at the giant white that had tried to eat Taki.
That's what you get, he smirked at it, for trying to eat my Taki. It hissed, and Tam'kar prudently moved to check on some of Taki's other new pets. Yeah, that's what it was, of course. They just happened to be on the far side from the huge spider.

Cain was glad that the face off with the giant had ended well. Better than having them all eaten by it. Looking at the box, he picked his up and looked over to see if Taki needed any help with hers. Seeing that she got some, he bid everyone farewell, thanking them for the fun before going off to release the smooth in the cave and the jagged...Well, someone safe where he wouldn't often bite people, but the sky would be free too. No point in a guard spider if it couldn't guard right?

Terris eyed the caged spider with caution, a sly grin appearing on his face as he did so. The creature was not so bad now it was contained, and he had a rather interesting idea of what to do with her.
"I have the perfect place for it" he said, then, making sure his gauntlets were, in fact, inpentetrable by the spider's fangs, he took hold of the large cage and carted it off in the direction of the bar, a small trail of spiders following merrily behind him as he left....apparently his capture of the great white beast had made him king of the spiders in four of the smaller Osidae's eyes.
The next time the townsfolk visited the bar, the spider's new home would be quite evident. A large cage containing the beastie would take pride of place where all could see. An intricately carved sign with a single word etched into it read simply "complaints".
