"Keep watch," she says to Dagmar. She doesn't want to mention out loud that if there was one such spider here, there may be others.

"Do you think the spider dug this? Or a hunter?" She keeps watch.

the leg, when checked out, IS broken. It can be set though.

And Dagmar keeps watch for other spiders.

She doesn't answer Dagmar right away. Carefully she examines the broken leg. A hmph, and a nod. "Lane, this will hurt briefly, but then all will be well. Do you understand?"

"I do" She says bravely and closes her eyes

"Good." She pauses a moment, closing her own eyes...then a slight grin as the verse for the bunk comes to her, and she recites...

"And see how the flesh grows back
across a wound, with a great vehemence,
more strong
than the simple, untested surface before.
There's a name for it on horses,
when it comes back darker and raised: proud flesh."

And at those last words, as the glamour gathers in her hands, she gives a little YANK, to pull the bone back into alignment.

Dagmar's keen eyes don't see another spider, but there, in a tree above the pit, is a sac of sorts

Eyes narrow.

"Ow" The girl yips, then.. blinnks "Hey, the pain's gone"

"Chief, when you got a sec?"

And the heatherbalm sinks into Lane's bones. "Wait there a moment for it to settle, but you should be able to stand then."

She straightens and follows Dagmar's gaze. A frown. "Hm."

"Thank you, Chief. Uhm. I'm not in trouble for echantingg two bit am I? I thought animals were okay"

Brekke raises a hand to ask Lane to wait-a-moment.

the centaurus quiets

To Dagmar she says, "It may be an egg sack. Or it may be a wrapped victim."

Can she tell, based on her knowledge of normal spiders?

Yup. She can. Egg sac. When it breaks open, they'll get dozens of smaller versions of that spider at least, that will grow to be as big as their now dead mama

and as deadly

"Hunh." She kenns the object.

Purely chimera

After she gets a better look, she nods. "Egg sac. Dagmar, will you take Lane and the dogs back to the Lodge? I will tend to this."

"Sure. Help hand her up..." Dag reaches for the childling.

Lane is handed over, Lane herself carries Twobit, and hey up she rises

Brekke nods and helps to get Lane out of the pit.

"Better?" she checks with Lane.

Lane says "Twobit is the bravest girl ever" Yes, the dog gets credit for all the rescue first, "And yes.. it doesn't hurt at all now. Thank you"

Jaymes approaches, hurried, worried, then.. relaxing

Brekke nods, then says, "Lane, I do not fault you for enchanting TwoBit. You had great need."

From down in the pit, Brekke nods up to Jaymes. "They are well. Lane will tell you the tale, I believe."

Lane smiles

"Hey Dad. Found TwoBit."

Twobit waggles happily to see her person! URF (Dad. I found Dagmar!)

"mmm" A smile from Jaymes ("Good")

"She was being a big damn hero, of course."

"Probably deserves t-r-e-a-t's"

"Hm. Will you escort them back?" she asks Jaymes.

And Dagmar may realize that Brekke is unwilling to destroy the egg sac in front of Lane.

Jaymes nods "yes, Chieftain. Thank you. I was.. concerned"

"Understood," Brekke says.

...as only the mother of Jessica and Siv could understand.

"Well, we don't want to spoil her" Jaymes says at the offer of treats. Oh sure, NOW he's he hard case

Browndog is just happy to have eveyrone together!

WAG WAG WAG

"C'mon, Lane. Maybe there's ice cream..."

"Oh I would like that" Lane says

Jaymes motions to the girls, and twobit "this way." A nod to the Chief, and he starts to take he young ones away.
