[sblock=Rowan]Knowledge (dungeoneering). Rowan bends and fingers some of the gritty mineral lying broken about the cavern floor. The creature's soft white underbelly and eyestalks confirm a suspicion that the stalactite is a piercer, though a larger specimen than is normally encountered underground. Hard to spot in their preferred environment, piercers favor underground rocky terrain and have a particular penchant for hanging disguised anywhere rocks are embedded on high ground, that they might drop from above on unsuspecting prey. Carnivorous, piercers secret an acid into the flesh wound of their victim intended to dissolve and soften the meat of their pray, making gorging all the easier. After seeing Arden suffer, Rowan is confident that the falling damage is slight in comparison to the acid damage and that one of the best ways to counter a piercer attack is to work in concert to get the unpleasant creature out of one's flesh.[/sblock]
