Boreal would definitely chortle about the misadventure in the future but Tal? Probably not so much. It didn't help that his companion's preferred method of dealing with the problem involved copious amounts of fire - which the Peregrine wouldn't survive. Between getting the ship away from the spidercloud and keeping a firm mental dampener on his dragon's arsonistic tendencies the courier had his hands full!
Luckily Soh was along to help, and she was doing an excellent job of clearing the deck! The big boss spider that had tried to catch her found the tables turned on it a moment later as it was clipped with a wing and sent flying - literally. This might not have been such a bad thing since its gaseous abdomen allowed it to float, but it hadn't reckoned on Boreal. The dragon saw Soh toss something overboard and she gleefully followed, her jaws closing around the big spider with squish-pop that left the dragon looking first surprised and then delighted.
With the cloud behind them, Tal was finally able to grab a belaying pin from the mast and begin laying about him with an angry scowl. "Get! Offa! My! Ship!" he yelled at the troublesome arachnids, smashing any spider he could reach. Having discovered just how crunchy the little menaces were - with an exciting bubble-pop at the end! - Boreal soon began hoovering around the deck as well, inhaling spiders and crunching them down with with relish.
