Keeps. Does not eat.
Cellar Spider
The larder in the north-east, and every room with silk in it
What it is
Long in the leg and slow to commit. It does not hunt so much as wait, and what it wraps, it does not eat.
The cocoons heaped in the corners have shapes inside them, and one of the shapes is curled up the way people sleep. The spiders are carrying all of it somewhere, through a crack only they fit.
How it fights
One hard bite at an arm, again and again. It skitters out of reach for a turn when it needs to.
One bite in its deck carries venom. Land two infections on the same part and they turn to poison.
What you were told
Abel's notes
Keeps. Does not eat.
Long in the leg, slow to commit. It does not hunt so much as wait. What it wraps it does not eat: I cut one cocoon open. The man inside was alive. Do not let it get the silk on you.
Kate says
Mind the silk.
Mind the silk. It doesn't cut you, it holds you, and then it has all the time in the world. I'd knit with it if it ever let go of my fingers.
Once you have met it
Medium It can hurt you. Do not walk into it half dead.
