This is a conversation between A giant spider (you start) and yourself, Vidal (M, Paladin, 7'6, Gigantic Hammer, Heavy Armour, Large Shield).
Vidal (M, Paladin, 7'6, Gigantic Hammer, Heavy Armour, Large Shield): (Hey.)
A giant spider (you start): (Hi there!)
Vidal (M, Paladin, 7'6, Gigantic Hammer, Heavy Armour, Large Shield): (So, scenario. I wander into the cave?)
Vidal (M, Paladin, 7'6, Gigantic Hammer, Heavy Armour, Large Shield): (Lair*)
Vidal (M, Paladin, 7'6, Gigantic Hammer, Heavy Armour, Large Shield): (Assuming she/he has one.)
A giant spider (you start): (That works. I'll say a cave used as a lair.)
Vidal (M, Paladin, 7'6, Gigantic Hammer, Heavy Armour, Large Shield): (Alrighty.)
Vidal (M, Paladin, 7'6, Gigantic Hammer, Heavy Armour, Large Shield): Stomp, stomp, stomp. "Ah! Here it is!" Vidal stopped at the cave's mouth, staring up at it, his armor reflecting the sun heavily enough to light up the entrance. His hammer's head was planted against the ground, and was the same size as him, leaning against the handle, the hammer remaining still. "Animals and people going missing with webs, must be a spider in the cave. Hopefully, I can have a nice conversation with it!" He chuckled, flipping his helmet over his face and raising the hammer into both hands, his shield buckled onto his left wrist. He stepped into the cave, glancing around carefully.
A giant spider (you start): He goes deeper and deeper, noticing a complex system of webs. After a while, he hears a feminine voice ring out, although the echoing of the cave makes it impossible to pinpoint. "So... What brings a human here? One without subtlety, and well-armed, I wonder..."
Vidal (M, Paladin, 7'6, Gigantic Hammer, Heavy Armour, Large Shield): "Ah ha!" He spun around, slamming the head of his hammer against the floor, leaning against the handle once more, casually holding his fist into his hip. "I am Vidal, Paladin of Life! I am here to make sure you do not kill any more animals! Or people!" He laughed out heartily, seeming genuinely joyful of the situation as he spoke out in his deep, booming voice.
A giant spider (you start): "All I do is right, and you humans would take the same actions... The animals, I kill much like any hunter. I need I survive, after all... I have tried to barter, but that has come to naught, which brings me to people. All those I kill are in self-defence. I am peaceful until provoked; this deep in my web, you ware at my mercy. Although I am still unsure how much humanity deserves mercy..." There is a bitter undertone to the voice.
A giant spider (you start): **need to survive
Vidal (M, Paladin, 7'6, Gigantic Hammer, Heavy Armour, Large Shield): "Ever seen a bard?! They get all my mercy!" He laughed out, rocking his hips against the hammer's handle. "Why not barter with me?" He smiled under his helmet, glancing around.
A giant spider (you start): "Oh? Well, you are the first I've seen who has been open..." The spider walked up. "So, what do you want?" It was at least ten feet tall, easily towering over the night.
Vidal (M, Paladin, 7'6, Gigantic Hammer, Heavy Armour, Large Shield): He lifted his hammer over his shoulder, pulling his helmet's cover up, showing off his face. He looked ageless, impossible to tell whether or not he was thirty or sixty, a strong chin and a well-kept beard, his eyes bright blue. "I want you to stop hunting farm animals, people in the village are starving." He gave a slight nod, sounding more professional.
A giant spider (you start): **knight
A giant spider (you start): "They are starving? I have offered them the knowledge that would increase their crop yields, allow them to hunt better. I have given them weapons of the highest quality. And yet they refuse my offers, and break my gifts. If they starve, it I their own fault." Eight black eyes evaluate the paladin.
Vidal (M, Paladin, 7'6, Gigantic Hammer, Heavy Armour, Large Shield): "Yes, but..." He scratched the back of his helmet. "Most townsfolk are quite dumb!" He heaved a chuckle. "They will not trust you, for you, to them, are a monster. That is why they refuse you." He tapped his foot "gently" giving slight shakes to the cave with each tap of his behemothic armor. "You must make them trust you! Like Garg the Ogre and the Moonslicer Sword!" He clicked his fingers at the memory of the story.
A giant spider (you start): "Oh? I must make them trust me? The last time that our peoples united, you turned upon my race, hunted us to extinction. I have tried many times to gain acceptance, and each time your people have attacked me. If I save a lord's son, I am taken to be a kidnapper. Besides, I only hunt their animals because they hunt me..."
Vidal (M, Paladin, 7'6, Gigantic Hammer, Heavy Armour, Large Shield): "My people have never united with yours. Yet I am trying to help you. Defeat some bandits! Rebuild broken defences! Build traps for the townsfolk to use! If an Ogre can do it, so can you!" He yelled out in a motivating manner, taking a step towards her. "My people are considered dumb brutes, yet I am a hero to these people! All because I showed them I am not what they think!"
A giant spider (you start): "Did you not hear me? I do everything I can. I have left known assassins in a river and been branded murderer. I have rescued children, and I have faught demons and beasts. None of this was for my sake. I hoped they would reconsider, and I hope that they might at some point... I wouldn't expect you to remember the massacres, or even know them. History is written by the victors, and anyone who knows is ashamed. But my kin have long memories, and even longer lives..."
Vidal (M, Paladin, 7'6, Gigantic Hammer, Heavy Armour, Large Shield): "Hm." He simply said, holding a hand to his chin. "I shall introduce you to the townsfolk! They shan't be scared if I am there!"
A giant spider (you start): "Oh?" The spider laughs. "There was a prince, once... Respected and loved by everyone. Had a similar idea. It ended up making him an exile, and disowned. Nobody would acknowledge him."
Vidal (M, Paladin, 7'6, Gigantic Hammer, Heavy Armour, Large Shield): "I do not care! I do not fight evil for respect, or for rewards! I do it-" He smashed his fist against his chest. "I do it out of the good of my heart, regardless of if I am known as a hero or not!"
A giant spider (you start) has left the conversation.
What a bitch.
