Your Magnakai Discipline of Pathsmanship warns you of an impending ambush, but you cannot determine the direction of the threat. You are peering into the curtain of webs, in search of the source of the movement that you detected moments ago, when suddenly you hear a noise. It comes from behind you.

Swiftly, you spin around to see that a large section of the ground has opened up like a great trapdoor. From its subterranean lair, a colossal black spider hoists itself out of the ground and perches on the lip of the dark aperture. Swivelling on jointed legs, this titanic arachnid clacks its fanged maw as it fixes you with a cluster of crimson eyes that rotate and pulsate hypnotically.

An unexpected wave of fatigue washes over your body, making you feel weak and sleepy. You draw upon your Magnakai Discipline of Psi-screen to counter the seductive effect of the spider’s hypnotic power, and at once the creature senses your resistance. Fearing that you may escape its clutches, it raises its great hairy forelegs and squirts forth a jet of clear fluid from a vent below its maw. Desperately you attempt to dive aside as this stream of sticky liquid comes gushing towards your chest.
