[Meanwhile, upon touching down in Rome, Astaroth had made his first order of business commanding all snakes and serpents and other reptiles of limbless nature within the city's vicinity to scatter and seek out anything worth noting. As it happened, a broken and bloodied spider was just the sort of thing worth immediate noting, and so he had just as immediately set off for the location with both of his minders in tow.
However, finding that Hermes had beaten them there was not something he had expected. It figures, though; of course a winged Greek would beat out even his most fleet-bellied of serpents. But now is not the time for pettiness, no matter how tempted he might be.
He strides towards the scene as though he owns it, focusing the whole of his attention on the two deities before him. Even in a state like this, he's not inclined to trust the trickster. He'll leave it to the minders to keep the area secure from any others.]
