Movement, his thermal senses told him, then loud sounds his ears picked up. Ananze moved, but still he could not entirely dodge, nonetheless each limb had shifted position and in doing so the bullets only just grazed his chitenous hide. Flinching at the contact, the daedri's many eyes narrowed briefly before the arachnoid sprung into a blur of movement. Swiftly it threw its other four projectiles, making another two as it got rid of them and moved, this time making one more dense than the other--the first denser one possessing no mana. Ananze wanted to test something.

Meanwhile, each of the other four projectiles Ananze threw were aimed differently, three having been thrown into the strange being's path so as to alter it. Two of those would land several feet in front of the man, while one would land to his right. The last was aimed diagonally to his left so it would hit him if he retreated backwards or moved to the left.

However, there was a trick to it, as there was thread on that last sphere of webbing, a tinsy tiny thread of extreme thinness--though it was strong due to its density and the general tensile strength of daedri silk. It was a trap of sorts.

If the being could see it, which Ananze had experienced from other intruders in years past, then the being would be fooled again for where the thread lead was not where the daedri was, for the thread was hooked around two trees before leading back to the predatory being. Yet no tactic could be perfect and Ananze was yet to ascertain whether the being could detect mana in some manner--as it had theorized from its sudden head movement earlier as well as its ability to locate him and dodge the sphere of web.

After all, superior sight or hearing would not have allowed one to detect the projectile, let alone the daedri's location. With that thought the daedri took its mana infused sphere and, linked thread to it, strung it between trees and then cut it before moving on. This way he had no traceable external mana, only false webs.

The daedri lightly clacked its mandibles together, a sound undetectable from the being's range--unless it's hearing was heightened as well. Ananze would soon know.
