7. Transport Prey

J'Ungol Cycle (Non-Standard)

BTS: 74% (Sz) + 1 per Poison Level currently taken by Target

ULT: 83 hours

Materials: a spider's web (the "Entry Web") of at least the same height and width as the Target.  Target must be caught in or surrounded by the Entry Web.

Actions: point at Target

Effect of Throw:

1 to 16 No Effect

³ 17    St mod: BTS + 2 sqr. rt. (T-17) (FRD); i.e.

Range to Target: 20d feet -d(d-1)/2

Weight carried by Target: 600w weight points -w(w-1)/2 (excluding body weight of Target)  Caster may either estimate weight and allow sufficient minus for this parameter, with No Effect if insufficient, or may leave the parameter open, taking whatever minus is given by the weight carried by Target.

Circs Mod ("C") of location where target spider's web (the "Exit Web") is situate  < 1:    -1 per 0.1 that C < 1

Notes:

  1. Cast on a single Target Being, who must be caught in or surrounded by the Entry Web.
  2. If Target fails his st, he is Transported to another spider's Web specified by Caster of at least the same height and width as the Target (the "Exit Web"), irrespective of distance or Forest.
  3. The Caster must have previously have instressed at least 10IP from the Exit Web.  If less than 10IP have been instressed, ratio %age Chance of Success by (IP instressed)/10.  If the Exit Web was last instressed before the Caster bound (finished learning) Transport via Webs, he takes -10 (-1 per 1/10 LT outstanding). There is also a penalty of -1 per year since Exit Web last instressed last visited.  There is no limit to the number of potential Exit Webs which can be remembered in this way.
  4. Entry and Exit Webs on different Planes count as different destinations.  Normal penalties apply (see "Casting Spells between the Planes" in the General Magic-Using System) for Transporting via Webs to another Plane.  Locations on the Ethereal or Astral Planes have the same Circs. Mod. as their corresponding location on the Real Plane for the purpose of the Circs. Mod. Variable Parameter.
  5. The Caster may Target himself.
  6. The Target may choose not to save.
  7. An Exit Web may be used to receive multiple Targets as prey.  Targets after the first will appear in a vacant space in the Exit Web, but if there is insufficient space left in the Exit Web to receive a Target, the Spell will fail.
  8. Targets may attempt to leave the Exit Web, if conscious and capable of movement.  See the Web Spell Sec. for further details. Target will be as caught by Exit Web as he was by Entry Web, though this may be affected by the relative Web Strengths of the two Webs.
