Spider's Parlour

Won't you step into my parlour?

Are you afraid?

Each character entering must answer these two questions:

• Are you afraid of S-S-S-Sp-Sp-Spiders?
• Are you afraid of The Monster In The Dark

For each yes, gain the relevant trait and 1 Fate point immediately.

Traversing the lair

Play will be broken down into Turns. Each turn, each PC gets 1 Move, and the Spider earns one Move. Once the PCs have accumulated 12 Progress between them, they have arrived safely at their destination.

PC Moves

• Into the Dark: Gain 1 Progress, no test required.
• A Wary Eye: Ob 3 Perception/Ob 2 Observation test
  • Success: Spider does not get move for turn
  • Failure: +1 Ob to next test (only player that makes the move)
• Gather (a là Hex Crawl)
• Fear Not The Dark: Perception/Observation vs Camouflage (pool is G8 with two call-ons)
  • Success: Ambush the Spider — 1 fight action per player then Fight!
  • Failure: Ambushed by the Spider — Spider gets an action then Fight!

Spider Moves

The Spider accumulates 1 Move each turn, but may choose not to spend it immediately in order to spend on bigger actions.

1 Move:

• Harry: Force PCs to consume a ration
• Tripline: Test as per Monster Burner. Failure means PC takes +1 Ob to next test. Any failure grants +1 Move to the spider, but can't take it now
• Web of Fear: Force Steel tests. Failures are at +1 Ob for Hesitation actions

2 Moves:

• Web: As per monster burner. Once webbed, can only spend actions to escape.
• Web wall: Can't gain Progress until breached or found a way around. Each attempt is an action.

3 Moves:

• Fight!
