Things that go click

I'm on my way home from the tavern, when I notice 
this guy walking all funny.  He looked like he'd
been in a huge fight, and he was bulging out in 
different places under his cloak.  I asked him if he'd
like some help, and I swear he hissed at me. I 
chalked it up to one too many ales, but as I was 
walking away, I heard a clicking noise behind me. 
As I turned around, I see the shadow of a giant 
spider turning the corner.  I didn't believe my 
eyes, but when I ran to go look, there was a 
cloak with the mark of a cyrcia outcast laying
in a sticky mess.  But like I said...I'd had a
lot to drink that night.
