Mine for suspense!

[Twi]

The beast that stood before you was, in fact, a massive mechanical spider, resembling an imitation of a tarantula- hairs and all, except with less fuzziness and more 'covered in sharp points of death'. Eight   red eyes stare at you, glowing with a rather evil light. The machine's massive jaws work up  and down,  as though it were a real animal hungry for a meal. Eight legs secure the robot's footing, looking a bit   small on the enormous beast. Several steam pipes dot it's lower back (What would be it's abdomen), occasionally opening up and letting off pressure.   The entire thing looks to be made of gunmetal (also known as red brass). And it is clearly not so friendly. Tara is just... staring at it. And backing away slowly. You get a very good look at her horrified face, and silently watch as the mechaspider's gaze follows her. She reaches for her gun...
 
...and stops, when the thing starts... speaking? It's saying letters, to be sure. The voice appears to be prerecorded from a heavily distorted female human voice. The sound itself is full of little skips and repeats and scratches.

“T....W-w....S........ B....R-r...L....L...G-g.......N....D..........T....H......S-s....L....T-t....H........T....V-v....S” screeched the machine, even as it began to take a slow, trodding step towards you and Tara, awkwardly digging its legs out of the ground. Meanwhile, it seemed Tara was calming down a tad, enough to not shoot wildly at the thing first off. She looked at you and managed, “....Go for the l-legs... Break a few of t-those and they'll g-get stuck fast. I th-think...”

And with that, the arachnid-like machine was finally managing to make forward progress. Right towards you. If you're going to run, you better do it now.

((BOSS BATTLE TIME! Or running away very fast time, if you want ))

Mine for mechanical spider joints

[Projeck37]

Do a spinning move with your sharp wings, and aim for the legs while doing this. GLORY FOR THE GLORY GOD!

[Doomblade187]

OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!

Charge the spider while yelling this, and prepare to chop its head off with your sword.

And it seems I forgot that part of the song's lyrics right after the part you wrote out.

[Projeck37]

Also, while doing what I suggested, sing the Brothers of Skyrim theme. No big deal.

Mine for a more dramatic spider!

[Phantom of The Library]

Mine for mechanical spider engines!

While yelling "off with your head" to distract it and disguise our true intentions.

[Doomblade187]

I still think we should use the sword, seeing as how it's singing the Jabberwocky song (Alice in Wonderland), but I suppose the pick would be good also. Let's still shout "Off with your head!", though.

Oh, hey, didn't notice that.  Good job on that one. 

Vorpal sword ho!

Just beware the frumious Bandersnatch!

[Twi]

((Oh look, someone figured it out. It's more of a poem than a song, though. :3))

You briefly debate between chopping it's head off and breakin g its legs, and then you realize that you have two hands and two weapons and decide to do both.

Even as you think it through, though, that spider is coming towards you. The thing certainly acts like a hungry animal, despite being a machine. The bloody thing might even be drooling.

Tara scowls in disgust, shaking her head, and finally begins to put bullets into the thing. Four 'Bang!'s echo through the air, corresponding to four trigger pulls and four bullet holes. As Tara stops to survey how she did, though, both of you realize that she barely slowed it down...and made it mad. The automaton growls at you, uttering another string of letters even as it charges.

”D....D......G...R.......N...D.....G...M...B....L.......N......T...H.....W....B....”

You really don't care by this point, and uttering a battle cry of “Off with your head!”, you charge into the fray! You swing your pick into one of its legs even as you try to decapitate it with your sword.

The pick carves a deep gash into the metal, and revealing the edge of something that is not just frame, something mechanical! Your sword, unfortunately, only manages to dent the metal. Solid gunmetal is simply too hard for a sword, it seems. Certainly, THAT particular sword...

The beast screeches in pain as another three shots ring into it, this time damaging one of its eyes. Tara  desperately fumbles for a fresh set of bullets. Fortunately, it is also engaged with you at the moment, and you're much closer. It promptly tries to kick you away.

[Projeck37]

Mine for dodge! Then mine it's legs furiously.

[Doomblade187]

Put your pick through its head!

[Vorthon]

* Vorthon casts Raise Dead upon the topic

Hey, we're a metal elemental, and elementals are able to move through their native element as easily as air, right? Well, phase through the spider and fuck shit up!

[Twi]

I was just working on a post, now I have to change it because I like that idea! You suck!

...just kidding.
