Hestu Sem swung his fist after the Fellbiter Spider of Akke Kebn but with its hundred legs the vile creature easily scuttled out of the way. The Traveller-Prince knew he could not match the creature's speed, so he backed away, leaving his right thumb unguarded. Seeing its chance, the Fellbiter flung itself at Hestu Sem and pushed its jagged teeth into his thumb, immediately turning it to stone. Before the stone-curse could spread further, Hestu Sem willed his hand to act and grabbed the creature just as his hand turned completely to stone, imprisoning it in a cage of his rock fingers. With his remaining hand, Hestu Sem tied the rope he had received from his younger sister and which had been enchanted by his lady love around his hand, which stopped the curse from spreading further up his arm. Unable to die, it is said that the Fellbiter remains locked in the Traveller-Prince's grip, waiting for greedy graverobbers to unleash it once more.
