Travis punched.
And then the spider, most of the ruins, a huge part of the area around him, and a couple of mountains behind it, were f***ing vaporized instantly.
Almost comically, a whole $16,000 USD in coinage dropped to the ground from where the horrifying abomination had been, along with a black gemstone-setted brooch jewel.
Also comically - except maybe for her - Zenobia was currently miles into the sky, free-falling after being launched high into the sky from the impact's force.

He picked up the broch and examined it while using his Psycho Power to gently catch and lower Zenobia to the ground.
100 stones in General Knowledge to identify the item.
300 stones eff in Psycho Power to safely catch and lower Zenobia to his side.

The brooch was one heck of a twisted item, from what he could tell. Merely staring into its gem would likely be dangerous for the sanity of most people, and its powers were pretty effed-up as well, mirroring the abomination it had been created from. Still, it was a potent artifact level device. He casually caught Zenobia in midair with his power, bringing her down safely to the ground. "Holy sh*t", was her only comment when she was back.
Gained: - Brooch of the Void (Technically actually named the Jewel of Daevoth'Vecnachshusz - but likely never called that for obvious reasons - this mystical artifact in the shape of a dark grey metal brooch with a black as night gem set on it was spawned into the world when Travis Howlet Jr. transformed an eldritch abomination of pure madness, chaos and emptiness into an object. Naturally, the result was something which probably shouldn't be in the world of mortals just like its original self. Its stones are free from GP except for Ability bonuses, but each power requires an action to use. Its twisted powers include: 4th Dimensional Step (Phase Shift AN 1; may not use for 1 minute afterwards. For a brief moment, the user steps out of the known limitations of our universe in order to move unimpeded by it.)
- Children of Madness (Summoning AN 12, Int.bonus, Summons are always loyal to summoner; may only bring forth eldritch abominations. While they are loyal to the summoner, they are extremely dangerous to anyone else and known to cause untold destruction and suffering for fun.)
- Chimeras (Create Illusions or Illusions option of Telepathy AN 10, Int.bonus for the Telepathy version. May only manifest the deepest fears of the victim either into illusory projections or directly into their minds.)
- Disrupt Body (AN 10, Int.bonus Attack VS Dur + Magical Defense, deals no damage; paralyzes for 1 panel/red stone of 'damage'; actual effect basically inflicts the victim with completely out of control Stretching which causes them to be completely ineffective and unable to move their body in any useful way.)
- Impose Chaos (Hex Spheres AN 10; only to inject chaos into a target creature, object, area or event. The results of this are never under the user's control, and are typically rarely beneficial to those who suffer its effects, but pure chaos pretty much means anything could happen.)
- Nightmares (AN 10, Int.bonus mental attack VS Int + Mental Defense causing terrifying nightmares to a victim for 1 day/red stone of 'damage' after use.)
- Seed of Madness (As Pheromones AN 6, Area Effect 2; causes victims to suffer from a sudden fit of insanity, becoming very dangerous threats to themselves and those around them.)
- Spark of Insanity (Fear AN 12. Inflicts the target with a single instant of madness.)
- Voices of the Damned (AN 10, Int.bonus effect acting as Ventriloquism as up to AN, and a mental attack VS Int + Mental Defense causing Stun damage and a -1 to all actions for 1 panel/red stone of damage. Causes a mental illusion of hearing the suffering/dying/terrified voices of the target's loved ones.)
- Warp Size (AN 10 stones VS target creature's Durability or target object's Hardness/Weight/Area/Technology/Highest AN/MN, whichever is higher, to either shrink or grow it in size. The resulting effect is random, as is the intensity of the effect, but neither can exceed this effect's AN.)
-Creatures with less than a total of 20 in Intelligence + Mental Defense + Iron Will, or other appropriate Actions/Modifiers at GM's discretion, will take mental damage every panel they look into the gem on the brooch. Each 3 stones of damage will also cause the victim to acquire a permanent -1 psychological challenge, with further increments either adding to an existing one or adding a new one. -Indestructible

"Hmmm... Not quite what I was hoping for." He said putting the item away. "Maybe I can find somewhere to exchange it for a less dangerous item." He mused. "Anyway is that all, or should we keep going?" He asked Zenobia.

"I mean... can we?" she asked, looking around at the almost completely destroyed surroundings around them. A quick examination of them revealed there were still a couple of staircases heading further down, but they were now filled with rubble, rocks and soil from the previous explosion. "Hmm. Seems there might still be some of the ruins left down there. I thought the whole place had been blown up to bits."

He used Hakai to remove the obstecles in the way of the stairs.
25 in Hakai to remove the debris from the stairwell.

Soon enough, it was all gone, leaving the path open for them to continue onwards.

As they began heading down, Travis could feel the bear girl stir a little.

"Hey... Can you stand a move?" He asked gently shaking her awake.

"I... think so? Where am I? What's going on?" she asked, her eyes blinking open.

"You're still in the ruins that we are exploring." He explained. "I have decided to take you as my wife, and impregnate you with my child." He explained. "How does the name Sakurakuma? Sound to you?" He asked removing her shoes and giving the massage to her.
3 sup-eff in PM.

Immediately overwhelmed by the massage, she stammered a "Y-Y-Yes, that, that's just... that's fine, that's perfect...♥" she stammered.
As a pair of animated armor stepped off their displays, grabbing their greatswords to oppose them.

"Good girl." He said kissing her foot as her looked to Zenobia. "Zeni. Take them down." He ordered.
2 stones in Statecraft to Zenobia's close combat.

"Sir, yes, sir", she said, reaching for the hilt of her sword...
...it was over in the blink of an eye, her blade annihilating them both in an instant!
"W-Woah", Sakurakuma let out in awe.
