@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
Nyma had lashed out in what little opening she had to once again deal damage to the quickly-moving spider, causing it to utter out a loud screech once more as it took more damage. Her spear held in her hands, though, she felt she had some sort of idea that might....just might work if Barth's stunt here had proven any bit useful. The spider was wounded even more than before, perhaps more desperate now that it was bleeding from two notable spear wounds even if they weren't fatal blows. She had to act fast, however, for she didn't know the exact nature of the spider, and the stance she had been taking to deal damage to it and defend well might prove useful if she set up the right conditions.
After the spider had just leapt away, Nyma instantly made her next move. She swiftly grabbed up another branch from the ground in her other hand as she moved, running over to another nearby spot just next to the web's edge. This spot was away from where Barth had thrown his branch, to avoid attempting the same exact strategy again. As she stopped at the edge of the web, she held the spear close to her body with one arm and even used a leg to stabilize it as she took a knee at the very edge of the web. This was to keep the weapon stable and in its defensive position, as the ground itself also helped to stabilize the weapon as it stuck out above Nyma defensively.
Albeit, throughout all these actions she had used at least one hand to keep the spear up and ready and close to her, the ground underneath to support it on impact just in case she was attacked before she could pull off this....er, 'stunt' of sorts. It was not a thing she actively thought of, but rather the instinct to be ready and prepared for an attack simply acting in her favor in her haste.
The female goblin then used her other free hand to smack the small branch on the web as hard as she could before instantly letting go of the branch and putting that formerly-branch-holding hand back on her spear too to better stabilize it and be ready to strike if needed. This was to try to make more vibrations at her location than Barth's branch had itself done before, make it seem like a goblin had managed to get stuck on the web.
She hoped the greater vibration, potentially signaling caught prey, better worked this time such that the spider would dare to strike again, to attack this spot where her weapon waited. Then if that happened her spear was waiting to try to impale it without a doubt, at least she hoped so if naught else.
-2 wooden spears, each made from a long, young tree with twig-sized branches having been plucked off. Its base is just thick enough to be considered a very small club head, and this part has been sharpened into a honed and very effective point with enough weight to balance the head and help it do more damage on impact. Gives a bit of reach like any basic weapon might, and has a healthy length, durability, and flexibility to also function very usefully as well.
(1 is with her, the other left at cave)
-1 young tree like the 2 others she already sharpened into a spear. The other was left to Goblin Barth, along with his walking stick.
(left at cave)
-3 rocks, one of them rather sharp, she has allowed herself and Barth to use to sharpen their sticks into spears for hunting and protection

***The wolves can be beaten however their threat is in their numbers and how they coordinate, never attack a pack alone as its suicide. They are found to the west, but during the night they travel to the east. They know better then to come in the cave, but outside you are fair game.
***Finally bats are usually found in the north, and prefer to hide in trees to avoid sunlight.

@Kheliop I am almost done with a post, so in a few seconds in this case i think it is.....does Nyma have the right idea to finally kill the thing, or will she not do so well? XD
The spider had leapt upon her spear, impaling itself upon her spear a bit before running off. It seemed her spear had been placed well for intercepting the spider. At least, for that very instance. Gooey spider blood of an alien color staining the end of the shaft of her spear, Nyma kept the weapon held up and ready to intercept another attack. Adrenaline ran through her veins, pushing her senses, the muscles of her body, all of this beyond the norm as it would with any living creature that could undergo a "fight or flight" response as she was right now. Nyma noted the angle of the creature's attack, and squatted herself a bit lower where she stood to make her spear more prominent than herself as she kept the spear up and ready. Its tip stood higher than her head in this current posture of hers in case it came from above, yet was out enough that a side attack could be intercepted even with her reaction time.
Young goblin eyes scanned over the treetops carefully and cautiously, kept sensitive for any signs of movement, of rustling, of some sort of attack. The shriek it had let out was different than what she and Barth had heard before going back to the cave the other day, that much was certain. But for the moment that didn't matter. It seemed this creature relied on speed and stealth, with its webs and poison as well, to ensnare and kill prey quickly. However, it didn't seem to judge the presence of things like a spear well, and so perhaps this pouncing mode, an imitation of the spider's own movements in a defensive manner alongside the light but if squatting, would allow her to better secure the kill. Or at least......stand more of a chance against this thing in this situation.
"Barth, stay close, and get your stick up. This thing wants to find a good angle of attack, but if we're covering those points it might get desperate and run onto one of our weapons again," the young female goblin whispered aloud where she and Barth alone could hear, her tone a tad harsh but also determined in the sense of not wanting to die.
If the goddess had heard her, perhaps some help would arrive in time. Or...something. Anything to make sure this thing was dead so she could harvest it. Honestly, she had no idea what spider meat tasted like, but if she had the chance it was more than worth a try for her if they survived this encounter.
Unknown to the young goblin, that "frayed rope" she so thought of it as inside of her, that part able to make and seeking a connection, was flailing about, reaching, stretching, aiming to connect with anything that could help. Perhaps this gift too lashed out in desperation to survive when she was in danger? For the moment, the full truth was perhaps unknown.
