Fighter Puppet (Living)

Adversary overview

Merchants, guards, and wanderers ensnared in Mother’s webbing. Their movements are stiff and jerky, their mouths sometimes whispering for help between clenched teeth.

This adversary is meant to be used with the SPIDER “MOTHER” who is controlling their bodies with the threads attached to their limbs. Upon critical success rolls or rolls with Hope, GM may provide clues as to the plight of these living puppets. Evidence of the threads may be apparent and PCs may choose to attack the threads to cut the individuals free as opposed to killing them outright.
