Watching closely as the lord repositioned himself against a wall Lila clearly was listening. Not really needing to be reminded of her position she assumed it was the human attempt to reassure himself. He however was not wrong, the spider was in a poor position. If it really came to it she could probably move, but not in a very controlled manner. While the spider half of her body seemed to be having trouble she displayed that the more humanoid part was working. Bracing her hands against the floor she pushed herself up to have an easier time conversing. The motion did seem to ne a somewhat pained one. Who knows how many times she'd been bashed against a rock on the journey here.

Wincing slightly she did finally respond to the question that was posed to her. "I do not." Having a better viewpoint and having seen the man move she noticed that he was wet. Turning her head toward the stream she could see the signs of her being dragged from the water even in the poorly lit cavern. Had he saved her from drowning? Surely he did so by mistake given his defensive behavior. Looking back at the man she tried to form some kind of thanks. "You pulled me from the water. I most definitely will not harm you. I owe you a debt I cannot repay." This was an unusual position for Lila. She'd never been helped like this before, much less by a human.

Mathias' actions freed Lila from an uncertain end. No longer submerged and on dry land her metabolic processes began to awake. While her chest didn't rise and fall like one might expect her breathing had returned. Slowly her body began to loosen and her legs relaxed, twitching occasionally. Yes it seemed that the creature that appeared dead was coming back to life and could very soon be up and about.

The man's fears were soon realized after several minutes. Groaning slightly the spider woman regained some level of consciousness and opened her eyes. Groggy and confused she turned her head in a lethargic manner to scan the environment around her. Rolling her head and eyes her gaze eventually fell on the Lord that had pulled her from the water. There was no way for her to know this though and instead saw a threat from the drawn sword. Realizing how vulnerable she was in this weakened state she attempted to rise and back away but her legs refused to cooperate and made little headway. Left little option the struggling stopped and she kept a trained eye on the human.

It was a short time before she realized that the man before her was incapacitated by some unknown injury. It seemed that they were both forced to wait for one or the other to regain control first. Several minutes passed before her ability to speak returned. Her voice was smooth but weak as a whisper. The hard floor beneath them allowed the sound to reach Mathias though. "Are you going to try and kill me?"

I'll talk it over with the other GMs. I mean, we have magic power cell phones, Central Heating and Air, and numerous other advances that were all released as magic was more accepted again. Why not give the Council a specialized division of mechs? Of course, it would be SMALL, at most eight people.

@Zarkun

Would make sense to have had a few as "anti-magic" weapons.

The trip down the underground river was frightening at first. Staying above water was nearly impossible as the tunnel twisted and turned. While buoyant the broken surface of the water left little opportunity to breath. As Lila began to realize her peril she could feel the onset of sleep coming. She shared the natural defense of drowning that her kindred spiders possessed. Even should the possibility of climbing out of the water came there was good chance she would miss is. Her legs curled up and the spider woman felt clammy. Her heart was slowing rapidly and staying conscious was impossible. Falling into a coma like state the current swept her further down, tossing her like it would any other debris it should swallow.

How long she remained like this not even she could say. By now the river had branched and leveled into numerous streams. Down one she drifted with her face down in the water. To any she would appear as a corpse drifting in the water with her body faced downward. Likewise her pale skin and lack of a pulse would likely lead to the belief that she was indeed dead. Being at the surface she was just starting to come out of her sleep, but it would be some time before she was actually awake again if she stayed in the water.

Lila

Name: Lila

Race: Jorogumo

Appearance: First and foremost she is a spider centaur. Standing at an average of 6 feet she is not much taller than a human. But lack of height does not mean she is not a large creature. The top half of her body is reminiscent to that of a human in their late teens. Her skin is a pale almost white color. Raven black locks reach down to the small of her back. Her eyes are a striking green with three slitted pupil each. While not often on display she has two long fangs used to bite pray. Her front is covered by an exoskeleton that shield her chest and abdomen.

Her waist is where the human similarities end. Below that point is the black thorax of a spider that is easily twice the size of her upper body. Where the two halves meet protrude the eight legs of an enormous spider. The segments have spurs that can be used to grab and hold with each leg coming down to a narrow point. Tougher than the abdomen her legs are quite strong and durable as they must to be able to carry not only Lila but any pray she should snare. Her exoskeleton has a sheen in direct light despite being covered by tiny, sensitive hairs.

The Spider

Inventory: She carries nothing at this point.

Special Abilities:
Low Light Vision - Being primarily a subtraction creature her eyes are well adapted to seeing in low light environments.
Sensory Hairs - What she cannot see she can likely feel with the hairs that cover her exoskeleton.
Wall Crawling - She is able to scale walls and even the ceilings with ease.
Web Spinning - She is able to spin exceptionally strong strands of webbing for a myriad of purposes.
Venomous Bite - Her fangs contain a paralyzing venom that can be used to incapacitate pray or a threat. She uses this sparingly as it takes time to produce more.

Personality: Being a young Jorogumo she is still wrestling with her identity as a creature of the depths. Unlike most of her kind that prefer to stay out of sight and where it is comfortable, Lila is somewhat adventurous and inquisitive. This has gotten her into trouble on more than one occasion both on the surface and deeper underground.

History: According to legend a Jorogumo is a spider that, after living for 400 years, gains the magical ability to shapeshift. Taking on a human appearance to lure pray in they are malevolent in nature. In truth they are their own unique species, rare and seclusive even to other subterranean dwellers. Many are wary to avoid the den of a Jorogumo because even when one cannot see the creature it is sure that they are nearby.

Her kind were left to fend for themselves as early as two years, meaning there was little upbringing to speak of. Relying on instinct kept them alive and safe. For whatever reason Lila lacked this same instinctual trait. Even early on she would venture near the mouth of caves to look out at the world above. On the occasion where she would go out where she was visible most creatures would run and hide. However she has also been attacked before, mostly by humans, despite her attempts at peaceful conversation. Hard to get past the stigma that she was simply trying to lure people in to kill and eat them.

On the other hand she also would crawl further down into tunnels and caverns that could hold creatures more fearsome than herself. Getting lost in such circumstances was a rarity. Lila could simply lay a strand of web wherever she traveled and follow it back like a trail. While most of the time she and anything else in the caves left each other alone she made the error of stumbling across the den of a giant snake. With no other option to run she managed to squeeze through a gap in the wall and fall to the ground. The floor beneath her must not have liked being fallen upon because it gave way and Lila plummeted into the rushing water of an underground river. The roiling current swept her away into the unknown.

Other: Having been on her own pretty much all her life she is only slightly literate. While speech is no problem she's only ever had random books to attempt to read. No one was cooperative enough to teach her to read.

@Diggerton I mean, 3 days isn't terrible. However I would say that if you wanted to continue than you can. And should he return he'll just have to catch up or say he was there floating around or something.
