Historical Notes
Even the advent of cooler weather could not contain the stench that emanated from Aquitaine. We were in a foul mood as well. First, we'd had to face that braggart, Du Guesclin, and his free companies again. Then, with the sounds of his non-sensical French war cry "Notre-Dame Guesclin!" still ringing in our ears, we began to hear rumors of a new, even more unlikely adversary.
One Owain Lawgoch, a Welshman intent on making good his claim to the crown of Gwynned and Wales, had allied with the French and was actively supporting Sire Bertrand's efforts. He was making the difficult crossing of the Pyrénées, attended by companies of Iron Dwarves whose allegiance owed more to gold coins than to conviction... As for our own scouts, they were coming back with reported sightings of a Giant Spider inside the usurper's camp!
The real Prince of Wales at my side, we decided to sort this matter out. And so on a crisp October morning we rode out to meet the enemy.

Advice to the Apprentice
Before taking command of the Giant Spider, remember to place her two Summary cards in front of you and give your opponent and yourself a copy of the standard Creatures Summary card. You may find it useful to read it aloud as you go through a quick recap of each major rule point detailed in Chapter 7 (p. 41-46).
