Although the others likely finished their work quickly, Camo needed a bit more time to skin his kill. After all, he wasn't as strong as them, so making each cut would take extra effort on his part. By the time he finished, they were already prepared to haul off their trophies. "Go on, I'm right behind you," he urged them as he hefted his newly-acquired Beowulf pelt under both arms. Though aware of his physical weakness, pride would prohibit him from requesting that they wait for him or help at all.

Sadly, this proved to be a big mistake.

Another creature of Grimm, an Arachne, was watching the quartet as they set off to their base camp. It glided soundlessly through the foliage, careful not to disturb the plant life as it stalked them. Venom began to ooze expectantly from its fangs as it identified Camo, who was lagging behind the others, as a potential target. Once the others were far enough ahead, it waited for the archer to stumble and pause to check his prize before striking.

Camo never saw the Arachne coming. Before he could warn his teammates or defend himself, the creature of Grimm was upon him, chomping down on his shoulder with its fangs. The paralytic properties of its venom silenced and debilitated him almost immediately, and he fell limp as it spun a veritable coffin of web around him, preparing him for transportation. None of the other members of Team TCTA would ever sense that he was in danger, and by the time they would even think to check on him, the arachnid Grimm will have carried him off, leaving only the forgotten Beowulf carcass behind...

((I know that last bit is kind of god-modding, but the point of the encounter is to get Camo back from the Grimm, not to save him from being kidnapped at all, so I didn't want to leave any room for that possibility.))
