Like The Sun Rising

There were five men in the fire team. They had specific orders to eliminate Trezlan Lorentino and secure any and all information about his son. The cave had no real security, no doors, or even guards, it seemed very easy and welcoming to the men as they came inside, which should have been their first indication something was wrong. Just as the men entered what appeared to be an empty residential section of the cave view screens in the area lit up.

"Good evening gentleman, Trezlan Lorentino here." The leader of the hit squad muttered shit as the face of their target smiled on, "You know its sad after all the none business I did with your boss he decided to try and kill me, well sad for you, not me I'm actually on my way off that rock of a planet and you are on your to being digested, have an unpleasant death." The screen winked off and the men looked at each other with a shrug wondering what he meant by digested. They didn't see the first of the spider creatures as it descended from the ceiling, but they did see the rest as they seemingly emerged from the walls and attacked. The sounds of screams and energy weapons lasted a short time.

"You're a sick man you know that right?" Valrym was in the back of the shuttle with Trezlan, they had gotten a warning about the hit squad a few days before they ever touched down, a side effect of Trezlan's extensive criminal contacts.

"What? I had to make it up to those beasties after I took over their cave, I mean sure I could have just set a bomb or something for those men, but where's the fun in a bomb? I mean no one sends other men into a spider lair to check out a bomb Val." Trezlan was sipping a drink while he looked over some reports about a border dispute, he knew his guns would definitely be needed there.

"Like I said sick."

"Sometimes I don't think you like being a criminal Val."

"I don't!" Trezlan smiled, the godling had always been annoying, but he took joy in that the man seemingly stuck with him forever now, at least it cut down on him feeling like he was crazy.
