Commentary

Giant hairy spiders are about 5 feet across. They do not spin webs, but hunt prey by pouncing on it when it comes into range.

If the spider causes a Wound with it's bite, the target is injected with poison. The spider rols spellcasting vs. TSD. If successful, the target receives step 3 damage in that round, step 4 the next, etc. Mystic armour protects against this damage. If the target gets a Wound from the poison, he must make a knockdown test using willpower instead of strength, otherwise he will go mad from pain until the poison stops doing damage. If the poison is not neutralized in some way, then it continues doing damage to the victim. Each round the victim may make a Willpower test vs the damage step that round to prevent the poison having effect that round. If the victim makes three such successful Willpower test in a row, then the poison is neutralized.

The loot is the number of victims that the spider has killed, which may or may not have any equipment and valuables left on them.
