Another One

Should I summon another? Well lets see what Kess can do first.

"Show me what you can do."Gin

"schrrreeee?"Kess

What? Don't give me that face. It's gross. 'Do Something!' As soon as I think that, Kess starts rubbing her meaty forelimbs together making a metallic screech. A smaller portal opens up bringing in 5 grey spiderlings. No..... Well, at least they can stand. They have beady eyes like a spider should have too. I must have activated that telepathy ability. 'Lets see, can you do anything else?'

After that thought Kess starts slapping the ground with her limbs.

*rumble

*rumble

*Shiiiink

A metal spike about a meter tall stabs out of the web floor with a lot of force. Impressive. Wait, why'd you stab one of your own subordinates? She's drooling again....

"I've seen enough, I should try to summon a guardian too I guess. Summon Arachnid Guardian."Gin

*Choose aspect

*Ink

*Cloud

*Ash

Those are different. I thought things like fire or lightning would pop up. Ink would be like water I guess? Maybe, it can do things with drawings? Cloud has relation to water too but it's in gas form. Would it be immune to physical attacks? Lastly Ash. Doesn't seem to useful although it has to do with fire and it brings up images of rebirth in my head.

I'm leaning towards cloud but I can't think of a specific weakness ash and ink have. Ink might have a good resistance to physical attacks since its a liquid..... Lets go with that I guess. Its all conjectures anyway.

As I finish the selection, a dark liquid gathers on the ground and builds itself into the form of something quite different from what I was expecting. Other than being extremely overweight and having human eyes, Kess looks kind of like a wolf spider. This new one looks more like a black widow minus the mark. I immediately look at her eyes and thankfully, they are not creepy. They are just normal black beady eyes. She is much smaller than Kess, less than 1/6 of her size Then I notice something weird. She's constantly dripping ink but it leaves no mark when it touches the ground.

Lets go with Set. Another screen similar to Kess' pops up.

Subordinate

selected)

Condition:none

As soon I name her, I get a thought put in my head. No, not a thought.... More like a feeling. Excitation. I take a look at her it she seems to be holding back from jumping on me. 'Well lets see what you can do.'

"Sheeeeeee"Set

Set jumps at my face and sticks to it. I.... I cant see..... Or breathe..... I tried grabbing her to throw her off, but my hand just sinks in and she starts vibrating even more excitedly. 'Come on! Get off!'

Must have been sent as a command as she hops off and reforms into a spider form. Apparently she blobified to me. Come on. I'm feeling despair through telepathy. Ok.... 'You can stick to me as long as it doesn't cause me trouble.'

As Set gets permission she breaks up into streams that flows along my upper torso and head becoming tattoos that curve and twist into a maze-like pattern. She seems to dislike the roots in my chest as she keeps away from them.

I start to feel power flow through the tattoos as they break away from my body and slash at the remains of one of the eggs I broke earlier. The tattoos start to fade until I cant see them anymore and I can see a few more slashes appear on the eggs remains. So, she can use stealth as well. Can't really determine the lethality of those slashes since it's an egg but....

"Good job"Gin

She reforms into a spider on the ground and starts shaking in happiness.Hmmmm.... I feel like I'm forgetting something..... Wait, Where's Kess?!?! I look around frantically and spot her a couple meters away. She's.... Eating the broken eggs. Not only that she's forcing her subordinates to carry here. Not only a glutton but lazy huh.... Luckily they are made of iron too otherwise....

"Kess"Gin

She freezes. Her subordinate turns her to look at me and she starts to tear up again. Again, that won't work. Please stop. Something weirds going on with Set too. She's getting way too excited.

"How do I deal with this?"Gin

Set is going to be a fun one. Kess will be too with her army of unfortunate henchmen. The other two will come in a bit later. I'm open to suggestions when it comes to their aspects as well. Nothing common like fire, earth, or water though. Even space-time, lightning, and ice are common in most novels.
