Robyn Hood,<br/><br/>That Lore roll, holy crap!<br/><br/>I - and Aeryn - have a number of ideas as to what   the spider might be.   That it might be a natural creature is something she considers very doubtful - hence her reference to it as an "entity."  It may not even be truly alive, but I will save all that for her response to  and analysis of what Reliyian's scrying reveals.<br/><br/>MdG,<br/><br/>Where Aeryn goes Eshalu goes? Oh, hearing that sort of thing begs for a Will roll  as a guide to writing a response, it truly does.
