"All I know is that they left the way they came." said the elder sternly while pointing to the main entrance. He then said to Ulric, "Not a problem, I want to see this matter solved just as much as you do." Matahari was glad that the band of slavers are leaving, he didn't care whether or not they find their slaves, all that mattered to him was that they were gone. He went back into his house to catch a breather, hoping all of them will be gone for good, one way or another.

Snake turned around to see Willow cutting the spider with his spear. He was worried that Willow could not handle the weapon, but she handled it marvelously. He looked on as the spider shrieked in pain but not quite dead yet. He realised that the natives were no longer on their tail, but there's no way they could outrun the giant spider. Snake placed Oliver down as gently as he could and went for the spider. He lunged forward and grabbed the spider by its fangs as it was distracted by its wounds, they were the most dangerous parts of the spider, also the most vulnerable. With strength and grace fitting for a hunter, he twisted the fangs and they snapped right into his hands. Even if the spider is still alive, it's no longer that big of a threat.
