Hú Lí again begins playing her flute. At first it is a low trill of warning, punctuated by several high notes, distracting the spider swarms and allowing Castile to slip away from them. Then, as Sasha moves back behind Castile and away from the spiders, the tune changes, this time into a folk song of the Jade Empire--an old song, telling of the prowess of the great dragon warriors of that land, filling Takahaan, a descendant of those warriors with a feeling of pride and courage, which bucks him up from the vicious stinging bites the spiders have inflicted upon him. Then the tune changes again. This time, it is less rhythmic, more discordant, with a strange, almost eldritch feel to it. Sharp notes with an almost physical force emanate from the flute, driving the spiders in one swarm into a strange frenzy. Their numbers are only reduced slightly, but there is a lingering sense about them, as though some of the music still echoes from them as their legs and bodies swarm over one another, a music that draws on their vitality, ready to transfer it to their attackers.[sblock=actions]Free: Virtue of Cunning. Hú Lí slides Castile to E19 (out of the spider aura).
