He'll have to leave the tablet on the roof in this case. As the snow piles up, the lower half of the video begins to obscure, but it doesn't completely block out the view. It's late to the point of being early when there's a strange skittering sound. It's distant, but rapidly growing closer as whatever it is ascends.

In the dark and the snow, it's difficult to see, but eventually shadowy shapes make themselves obvious enough to be identified: spiders. Occasionally the glint of red eyes will shine in the darkness, and when it does, the camera flickers and cuts out for a few moments. In one of those periods of time, the snare goes off--the slide of snow, the clatter as the turpentine and coffee mugs shift. The camera turns on soon enough to catch the pillowcase dropping down with at least one of the things obviously inside.

Of course, there are a lot more, and several break away from their climb to work their way back down. Except for the skittering, there's no noise, but then the sound of tearing fabric can be heard, and several things dropping to the ground.

Eventually, the tablet slides off the roof and to the ground as well, as if pushed from behind. As it turns haphazardly in the air, the image of all the various snare components can be seen on the ground just before it lands right on top of the pillowcase. Skittering can still be heard, but eventually it fades away.

Then there's something heavier. The tablet is facing upwards, but has since been covered by snow, so from this point only muffled audio is of use. It stops beside the mostly-buried items. The pillowcase beneath the tablet must have shifted, because as it's pulled some of the snow shakes free from the tablet's line of vision. It's just long enough to catch the animal-like reflection of two large--larger than a human's--round glowing eyes before the tablet too is pulled away and turns off.

All of the items used outside will be gone in the morning. Enoch will need to find a new tablet.
