Ropebridge Spider
Large beast, unaligned
The ropers of the Drift string footbridges of cable and net across the channels, and something patient has learned to read them. The ropebridge spider hangs beneath the span like a toll keeper's hand, plucks the boards to call its prey closer, and hauls the answer down into the water. Tolls, it seems, are negotiable. Grip is not.
