A 6 foot tall hideous purple creature stands in the corner, as you enter it turns around its face is that of a spider, and its hands are sickle-shaped claws. The chitin shell scrapes on the stone of the far wall.

Coming in last as rearguard, Edrukk narrows his eyes at the thing, but looks around the rest of the chamber, confident that the others will give warning if necessary.

Edrukk moves to aid Broccan before realizing he needs it not, then rushes the others out the door and some distance away. "'e's n' goin' t' let 's close. Get yer bows ready if'n 'e comes out."

"No' I. But Ah'll try t' talk t' 'im if'n ye wish."
Ettercaps are typically 6 feet tall and weigh about 200 pounds. They are solitary creatures and rarely group with others of their kind, even to mate. When they do group, they tend to attract a variety of different spiders, forming a strange collective of ettercaps and arachnids. Ettercaps are known for building cunning traps out of webs and other natural materials, using them to trap prey. They build shelters out of webbing, often high up in the trees away from other ground-based predators, and use monstrous spiders as lookouts and guardians.
Ettercaps are not brave creatures, but their traps often ensure that the enemy never draws a weapon. When an ettercap does engage its enemies, it attacks with its claws and venomous bite. It usually refuses to come within melee reach of any foe that is still able to move, and flees if an opponent gets free.

Edrukk hands his greatsword to the fighter. "Ah c'n try t' talk t' 'im. 'old me sword 'n keep 'n eye out, wouldye?"
Moving toward the door, but stopping a respectful distance out, hands up in a 'hiding no weapon' gesture, the dwarf addresses the creature, "Aye, we need not 'ave trouble wit' ye.

Canvy moves close to Edrukk and whispers quietly in his ear, "You think we can make a profit by buying this wand from this one here. Would save us having to fight an ugly great spider. What do ya think?"

Edrukk sets his pack on the ground and starts counting. He stops at 20. "'ere be yer downpayment. Take 't wit' ye 'r leave 't 'ere. Ah'll start countin' th' rest when ye go get 'at wand."
He puts the four stacks of five coins just inside the door of the room, backs away, and stands with his arms crossed.

"You know Edruuk, you don't think you be buyin that wand we found in the room with the webs do you? I mean, that's where a big old spider would have kept such a treasure?" Canvy asks with concern to Edrukk. "We might just be buyin what we already got!" He starts to look a bit panicky, not sure if they should move on before the spider/man should come back.
