[@Kheliop] So you wanted to go through with "Operation Meatshield?" 

.....drat. XD

Maybe have him stick close to Nyma, enough for the spear to be protecting to him at least somewhat? 

Or perhaps he grabs a large, thick branch lying nearby and rushes over with it held up to add a potentially semi-pointy bit for the spider to impale itself on? 

Er.....ah i'm so sorry i messed up your post idea....i got excited. DX
