Cave Fisher Tactics: Cave fishers are intelligent enough to avoid fights they cannot win . . . unless they are hungry. When pressed into combat, cave fishers prefer the high ground. From this vantage they can fire off their filaments and drag their prey to them. Also, when at a distance or behind cover, their stonehue carapace makes locating them difficult. Most times, cave fishers will have already extended their filaments. These sticky hazards are subtle traps for the unwary and sure death to those to weak to escape. Cave Fisher Lore: A character knows the following information with a successful Nature check. DC 15: A cave fisher is sneaky predator. They often leave an adhesive filament out as a snare to catch the unexpected. They rarely attack bands of monsters or adventurers unless desperate. DC 20: Cave fisher filaments can be made into a light, strong, and nearly invisible rope if processed with an alchemical solution
