Play C3: Crystalline Crawler: Glass Spiders

Those who would steal the light from the Spire found that it wasn't undefended, despite the ages it had sat silent. The first sign was the spiders crawling out of the earth, creatures of glass and light like the titans but of a different mind and will, possessing a great malice towards all those they found unpleasant in some way but a calmness towards those who managed to avoid offending them. The march found itself beset by them early, the creatures never leaving them alone, and as they approached the Spire they became more dangerous, drawing strength from the Light, and more numerous. Finally, they beheld a great swarm living in and around the Spire, friendly to the giants that remained in the Spire, but aggressive to all others. Those who sought the Light found they had to fight for their prize, risking death for the chance of life.
