 February 26, 2010 - 5:28pm | I hadn't really planned to explain everything about them just that a mining crew drilled into an asteroid and found a vault. In the vault were a sort of sarcoffigi/coffin things. The took one and when they opened it on their ship it was a stasis chamber with an alien creature in it. The creature expired and the spiders burst forth. There was no way into the asteroid before the mining crew drilled into it. Thought it would work best as an unexplained mystery and GMs can do with it what they will: decide its tetrarch related or other. Their food source is the characters they hatch inside- was thinking to specify that they die like a bee after stinging 5 or so times. maybe the were bio-engineered as a weapon. the whole psychic energy and the suggestion ability had me thinking sathar and the coffin that the PCs openned if they chose to back track the derelict mining ship would have a void spider infested sathar- was also toying with void spiders especially finding sathar tastey in the Psychic sense. need to be able to survive in vacuum so that there escaping their vault is a grave threat as they'll begind to infest the asteroid belt by jumping and coasting to other rocks then ships, which they would ride back to population centers. full polyplate and space suit armor should be impervious to their bite. they dont really eat the characters but lay eggs that suck the host dry before hatching. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
