In what felt like an instant uninterrupted advance, its prey stood just before it almost helpless to defend herself. As it came close, the fiendish spider raised its two front legs and slammed them down at either side of De’Kae blocking most of the directions in which she could run. She then took a swipe at her using her long black claws and again. For those few second, De’Kae was subject to relentless attempts to strike her with those blade-like nails. Small droplets of acid also flew from its arms that were the remnants of Ariamis’s spray from earlier.

	Before the hell spawn could swing again, it was struck by an arrow, digging into its shoulder. The creature gave pause to the attack when it was struck by another. The feathers at the ends of each arrow were all that could be seen through the creature’s long hair, but it was clear they had stuck into its flesh. Hissing, the creature turned its body slightly as more arrows began to strike. The spines that covered its legs and body deflected the majority of them, and it exoskeleton helped minimize the arrows that got through except for the few that pierced the softer body that sprouted from the spider’s head.

	With one back handed swipe, the creature swatted De’Kae away ready to charge the direction the arrows were flying when the loud thumping of metal upon stone echoed closer. It wasn’t long after when the creature’s face was plowed into by the large metal man. As it continued to run, the creature was raised slightly off the ground, its rear legs dragging. Even though it stood over the machine by a hair, the spider was not able to stop its momentum. Screeching, the spider clawed at the suit of mechanical armor, unable to do much more than a scratch again the thick steel. Finally, the creature began to spit a web. It was a crude web, but it was one that could tie the armor’s legs together.

	The extra resistance provided by the webbing was enough to slow the power armor enough for the creature to regain control of its legs. It started to climb around the suit, so it was no longer at its front. It was attempting the damage the armor using the sword like spines on its legs while also looking for a soft spot to attack. Crawling around so that the spider was at the armor’s back, it stabbed at the suit using its fangs. The thud of the impact echoed the chamber, but the most damage it was able to do were two small indents. The black venom the creature secreted did arguable more damage, leaving thin trails of corroded metal as the venom steams towards the ground. The stiff impact against the armor caused the spider to reel away in pain.

	Defeated in the attempt to damage the suit, the spider decided it best to incapacitate it. It attempted to weave a cocoon around the armor. With enough layers, the webbing would be tough enough to prevent the suit from moving unless they were burned, or cut. Of course, the machine would also be free if it struggled enough, or aid had come to draw the spider away.
