Despite Sol's devastating accuracy and the relentless volleys of the Veynar archers, the sheer volume of the enemy was too much. The numbers were infinite. A few highly agile beasts managed to slip through the net of arrows and spears.
A pack of Venom-Weaver Spiders… massive, terrestrial arachnids the size of transport carriages… used the suppressing fire of the archers to their advantage. They scuttled behind the larger hulks of the dead, entirely avoiding the arrows, and reached the base of the wall. Instead of climbing the wood, they spat thick, pressurized streams of highly corrosive web straight up into the air.
The webs arced over the parapets.
"Incoming!" Sol roared, diving out of the way.
