Kit had been wandering around rather aimlessly after losing track of the dog, still looking for her yet feeling hopelessly lost all the same. He kept shouting out [color=steelblue][b]"Wolf? Where'd you go?"[/b][/color] or some variation of the phrase, each time feeling like he had just alerted all the creatures of the manor to his exact location. Even still, nothing came, which didn't really make him feel better.

Kit opened a door and emerged out into a courtyard, a quaint little place that felt a lot safer than the halls he had just been in. He scanned the area, looking for anything of use, and found the behemoth detective had just noticed him as well. “Oh, it’s you!” Band said, sighing in relief. “There y’are, I been lookin’ all over. Where’s the wolf?”

[color=steelblue][b]"She ran off ahead without me. I'm just hoping she's found the Icebreaker, wherever he is,"[/b][/color] Kit replied. 

The detective seemed a bit sullen at that, Kit feeling about the same. The detective piped up, “Well, we got each other at least. Better stick together.” This mansion was a labyrinth of peril, death at every turn. Band was right; they'd have to stick together this time. After a short discussion the pair decided to head back the way that Kit had came and take another path. 

It wasn't long before they found the web of a giant spider who snatched up a zombie that had made its way into the spider's web, first being paralyzed by the bite before being wrapped up into a cocoon of silk. Kit felt disgusted as he witnessed the process, unsure if he wanted to continue on. Band spoke up and offered to help him out with the spider or just break down the wall back in the courtyard. Kit pondered for a moment, before deciding to brave the spider. [color=steelblue][b]"Stay on guard. I'll confront the spider."[/b][/color]

Kit marched forward, shield up and sword at the ready. As he stepped in front of the web, the spider slowly lowered itself down on a string, dropping down right in front of the knight. Kit slashed his sword at the creature, the spider backstepping and raising itself on its hind legs. It swung its legs at the knight, whose head was snapped sideways by the hit. Grunting, Kit swung his sword at the spider again, managing to slash off one of its legs.

The spider hissed, before leaping right at Kit and sinking its fangs into his chest. The knight shouted in pain, bringing a fist into the spider's head over and over to get it off of him, but it kept its grip on him all the same. Kit felt his joints locking up, still struggling with all his might to get the spider off of him. That was when Big Band jumped right in, throwing a massive fist into the spider which knocked it off of Kit and back several feet.

The knight stuck his sword into the wooden floor and grabbed the Estus Flask from his belt, taking a chug of it to help deal with the pain. He felt refreshed, if still a bit stiff, and grabbed his sword to continue the fight. The spider, seeming enraged, leaped forward again only for its fangs to meet Kit's shield. He bashed the spider with the shield, knocking it back, before going in with a swing and a yell. The sword cleaved through the spider's brain, killing it. The creature curled up on its back before imploding on itself and popping up as a spirit. Kit grabbed it and pocketed it, before turning back to Big Band.

[color=steelblue][b]"I don't think I would've survived were it not for you. You have my thanks. My sword shall be yours for as long as you have use of me."[/b][/color]
