Octavio the Spider Merchant

The Guild has never met a being as peculiar, or wonderfully obtuse, as Sir Octavio Arachart. A former Master of Mystery (Guild of Arcane Practitioners and Magic Item Makers), he has taken to wandering through Teol’s wilds in search of four things: Stories, artifacts, clients and discoveries. He has found abundance of all four, but has a knack for getting into trouble in the process. Octavio has sold numerous items to the Adventurer’s Guild, and has promised his further wares to be delivered at a healthy discount after rescuing him from a group of separatist orc bounty hunters living in a demiplane attached to a dinosaur-ridden swamp.

Octavio is unique in that he is ACTUALLY a giant, fuzzy spider that loves vomiting up his human form in full view of anyone who prefers conversing with a human. Octavio’s arachnid form is possibly a use of spellwork, but he seems to be more at home as a giant, conversationalist and friendly spider. He claims that being a spider is quite wonderful, and more people should try it, as an endless supply of silk and limbs is extremely helpful in wandering the wilds. Many people inherently disagree with this belief and philosophy, mostly, because he’s a giant spider and that’s from freaky-deaky stuff. Despite this, he remains jovial and good-natured, knowing that at heart, people really do love spiders.
