Martial Arts

The Hallowed Order of the Grass Spiders has long practiced their own unique brand of martial arts that is tailored to their needs while modeled after the iconic animal that shares their name. The secrets of the martial art are well kept and it's probable that no one outside their organization has much knowledge of it, after all almost everyone who sees it in use does not survive the night. The form is based on the jumping and clinching attacks of the Grass spider and is highly acrobatic and based on surprising the user's enemy.
