"I see." She said. "Do you know how to do massages by any chance?" She asked.

"Hm. I must admit I have not yet acquired professional training in that particular skill, but I may have a way around it", she pondered. "If you give me sufficient knowledge and precise enough description of someone with such knowledge and skills, I can assume their form and use their skills to some measure", she explained. "Since I just assumed a random appearance as a nameless maid of yours, I am not able to use such skills because the person I am transformed as does not exist."

"I see... never mind then." She said nodding off as her flats fell off.

"So be it", she said, nodding, as she made a mental note of learning the art of massaging for future use once they would be back. 1 to maintain my form.
8 in Intelligence to resume watching out for possible trouble until we return home.

30 minutes later you spot a little bird-sized spider about to crawl onto and bite her foot. It's fangs already tripping some sort of acidic venom that leaves burn marks on the seat.

(OOC: If I ever get isekai'd in one of your worlds IRL, I will never accept a bodyguard job under any circumstance. A "little" bird-sized spider with venom so acidic it burns seats? I would be f***ing terrified. XD)
Arachne (Human Maid)
Neither willing to allow the countess to be harmed, nor interested in harming the spider to prevent it, she instead assumed control of the creature and commanded it to leave the carriage. 1 to maintain my form.
12 (Ef) in Arachnomancer (Control Spiders) to control it and command it to leave us without so much as touching the countess.

You try to reason with it, but you sense some other force is controlling it as it begins to climb partway onto her sole and raise it's fangs to strike.

Arachne (Human Maid)
Her eyes flaring up in anger, the 'maid' reacted with crazy speed, using a spell to make her more likely to strike true and moving faster than the eye could see to grab the spider and toss it outside the carriage! 1 to maintain my form.
1 in PL for an action.
6 in Speed to react in a flash;
4 (Ef) in Slayer (True Strike) to add a Good Luck effect to her attack;
16 (Ef) in Ninja (Martial Arts, Using powers in combat) +4 Good Luck from True Strike, into a 20 stones 'attack' to grab the spider and chuck it outside the carriage before it can bite her.

You throw out the huge spider.

"......"
Frowning, she took a mental note of revealing to the countess that someone had actively tried assassinating her with the spider in question. She also attempted to detect any arcane signatures which might have affected the creature. 1 to maintain my form.
9 in Intelligence plus 6 from Enhanced Vision (See Auras and Magical Forces) to try and trace back the energy which may or may not have been left by whoever was controlling the spider.

You fail to locate any arcane signatures outside the carraige. It seemed whoever had planted this spell did so before either of you got inside.

While she would have wished to let her new employer rest the whole way, this was a little too serious to not consult her over. She gently patted her leg.
"Excuse me, mistress. I apologize for waking you up, but I must have a word with you."

She stirs slightly. "Just five more minutes Mom."

"I will gladly let you rest as long as you please afterwards, but I must ask you this nonetheless. How much do you trust your carriage driver?" she asked. 1 to maintain her form.
