Sometimes, while resting:
After a few minutes resting, your body is wracked with painful spasms and you cough up a handful of gore crawling with tiny spiders.
(And, if etheric:)
For a moment, you can see through their eyes, along with the eyes of dozens more still crawling within your flesh, slowly being consumed by your body.You learned a new Technique: Call the Swarm
Using a spider drone memory while Etheric, after having seen the mysterious signature in drone memories can give this technique, if you already know at least 1 instance:
There's a few strange patterns in the code you can't quite explain. It's like a subtle signature. You've seen it across dozens of drones, but it jumps out at you now. It's almost… musical. The more you think about it, the closer you feel to the swarm, the more you can feel tiny shapes moving inside your body.
Notes
- Enhances Unleash Spider.
- Enhances Project Spider.
- Without a spider nest equipped and with a Myers sampling kit equipped and a successful hit (possibly on an organic target), gives you spider eggs, or spider venom sample after combat 33% of the time:
Those spiders seem to have injected something into your foe's body. You extract it with the sampler.
- With a spider nest equipped this technique will give you 5-8 energy of Nest Keeper at the end of combat for every time you have used it in that combat or had it used against you. (See Nest Keeper for full details — exact mechanics unknown.) This seems to cancel getting the sampler effect too or it just has a small chance and I was unlucky.
Their work complete, the spiders crawl back into the nest you carry.
You've gained X energy of Nest Keeper.
