<strong>The Wilds of Dra Sirdu: It Just Won't Die!</strong><br/><br/>For all the carelessness in the world, the spider was still an immense, durable creature. Eshalu's swipes and gouging jabs with her spear might have had more effect if they could actually reach its body, rather than getting tangled in the matted material around it and slicing through a few thick, rigid hairs. Still, even with the creature's<em>Monstrous Resilience</em>mitigating (or simply ignoring) the worst of the onslaught, the slightly thinner patch of ablative fungus created by Eshalu's attack granted Reliyian an opening to pierce the creature with her massive shard of ice. It shattered on impact, causing the creature to hiss in anger and pain as razor-sharp shards of ice rained down upon it.<br/><br/>This did very little to slow the creature down, however. It lunged at Eshalu again, apparently not bright enough to identify the source of the more distant elf. Its now single-minded focus allowed Aeryn to tear herself loose from the slimy mat in which she had spent the last several seconds unpleasantly imbedded. Despite the moderate mass of material that came away with her, it didn't seem to notice her departure whatsoever, its numerous eyes fixed on Eshalu as it did its best to bring her down.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Mechanics</div><div class="spoiler_body"><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Physique defense against Eshalu's attack, granting the spider a positive boost due to success with style: At 2013-05-23 10:20:18, Fungus Spider (uid: 13420) rolls: 4d3a-3 Result: 9 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=46584)</li><li>Physique defense against Reliyian's attack, invokes <em>Monstrous Resilience</em> boost for a total of +4/Great: spider's second stress box filled At 2013-05-23 10:20:32, Fungus Spider (uid: 13420) rolls: 4d3a-3 Result: 2 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=46585)</li><li>Notice defense against Aeryn's Overcome to remove the negative <em>Trampled and Entangled</em> aspect on her.
