Description

General

"Calvin", as he's been dubbed by Captain River, is a typical wolf spider that is notorious for hanging around the guard barracks, much to the annoyance of many of the guards, but especially Alexander Greer. Many guards have tried to kill the little bugger, but he's extremely hard to hit. Given that he's not aggressive, most of the guards have now resolved to ignore him and hope that the sucker dies in the winter. This seems unhelpful, however, given that the spider has been around long enough to determine that this is likely not the same spider as the original Calvin.

Mannerisms

Calvin is incredibly skittish and likely to flee at the first sign of trouble, preferring to hide when people are nearby. Druids, Rangers, and others with the Speak with Animals spell may attempt to coax him out of hiding (DC 10), but conversing with him reveals very little. His thought processes boil down to: "safe", "danger", "food", "nOT food", and very little else.

Ideals

Survival. "Skitter skitter."

Flaws

Run. "Skitter skitter."

Arachnid Stubborness. Any ability that requires a save from Calvin that does half damage on a successful save instead does no damage on a success and half damage on a failure.
