### 260

You turn and run through cloying, ankle-deep mud that saps the strength in your legs. The gigantic spider scuttles closer, lowering its yellow head ready to scoop you into its maw. If you are to escape this creature you must do something to distract or delay it.

If you have a Meal in your Backpack, turn to 34.

If you have the Magnakai Discipline of Psi-surge, turn to 250.

If you have neither a Meal nor the Magnakai Discipline of Psi-surge, you must stand and fight the creature; turn to 5.
