Arachne
"......"
Arachne didn't waste any time, going in for the kill and moving to pierce the woman through the heart with a stab from her rapier, becoming visible as she did so!
"The Countess sends her regards." OOC: Rolled a 7 for the Critical Hit, so I got it thanks to Agony's enchantments.
16 (Ef) in Ninja (Agony) plus 6 from Agony, plus 9 from the Critical Hit, plus 11 from the Sneak Attack? ...into a potential 31/42 stones (if Sneak Attack is successful) attack (2x damage, 3x damage VS Constructs/Undead) VS the assassin. Also dropping my invisibility the moment I stab.
9 (Ef) in Parkour into defense. (Total ph.defense: 20)

She does not stand a chance as you pierce her heart and drop her with an inept gasp.

Arachne
The ninja wiped the blood off her blade on the corpse's clothes before sheathing it, and searching her for anything of interest. 8 in Intelligence to search her for goodies. Maybe helped by Enhanced Vision 6 (See Auras and Magical Forces) to find the good stuff and identify them.

You search her body, and find.... nothing.

Arachne
Not taking any chances, Arachne then proceeded to light the body on fire to make sure she wasn't coming back somehow. 8 in Intelligence and 6 in Agility to light her corpse on fire with my flint and steel, while being careful not to let the fire get out of control.

You set the body on fire as Just then a spider hatches from the eggs, and grows to the size of a log cabin!

Arachne
Arachne simply attempted to overwhelm the spider with her will and get her under her control. 19 (Ef) in Arachnomancer (Summon and Control Spiders) to try and assume control of the giant spider.
12 (Ef) in Ninja plus 6 from Agony into defense. (Total ph.defense: 29)

You manage to force it under your control with no problems.

Arachne
"Allow me to make an offer to you. I cannot just let such a huge monstrous spider to roam my employer's lands unhindered... but at the same time, I must admit.... I am very fond of spiders, and I think you would make a fine addition to my... friends. Join me and live in peace", she offered, using Arachnopathy if the spider could not understand her voice alone. 1 in PL for an action;
6 (Ef) in Arachnomancer (Arachnopathy) to communicate mentally with her if she can't understand my voice.
10 (Ef) in Social Skills (Persuade, Intimidate) to try and convince it to join me, with a relatively subtle hint that it's best it does not refuse.
12 (Ef) in Ninja plus 6 from Agony into defense. (Total ph.defense: 29)

Arachne
"Excellent, my lovely. Make yourself at home", she said with a smile, gently patting the giant spider's leg with her hand, before sending her out into her very own Dream Sphere, her personal pocket dimension within the Dreamscape, plane of dreams, where she would be able to live in peace until Arachne would summon her.*
With the spider and the assassin gone and dealt with, Arachne headed back to the Countess' fortress. 10 (Ef) in Dreamweaving (Dreamscape Projection, As Astral Projection, Body travels with user, Send Others) to send the giant spider into my pocket dimension home as described - quickly, granted - under her resources modifier.
2 in Flight to fly back to the fortress.

You store away the spider and arrive back at the mansion with no problems.

The ninja headed back directly to the countess.

You find the pair hiding in one of the storage rooms.
"Ah Miss.... Is the threat dealt with?" Her bodyguard asked.

Arachne
"So it would seem", she said, nodding. "The driver had nothing to do with it; in fact, I successfully located the assassin thanks to his statement. I killed her, burned the body, and took her giant spider for myself. She was planning on infecting the countess with a supernatural disease which would spread to her soldiers and create plague infested monsters to threaten the entire Empire. That was no ordinary assassin, more akin to a full-on conqueror, just more underhanded."
