[Lifting his paws in time to shield his face from another spray of the spiderling's toxin, David growls in irritation. Now both his paws are numb and for all his efforts, he can't seem to hit the blasted thing. It sidesteps in and out, almost seeming to laugh at him with every missed blow.]
[And then a sudden sensation of cold from his side and spiderling recoils, finding three of its legs suddenly iced over.]
< Now you're talking. > [He grins an ursine grin as one beefy paw finally connects with the spiderling, knocking it against the cave wall in a very satisfying way. It's not enough to kill the thing, of course, and it's already on its feet again, but he has a solution for that too.]
< Grab around my neck! > [He can barely feel Felix up there as it is, so he has to trust that the conjurer'll be smart enough to protect himself from getting thrown off. Rearing up on his hind legs as the spiderling skitters back in, David roars and comes down on it with all his weight.]
[Instantly he feels the disturbingly warm splatter of spider guts against his paws and his underbelly.]
