It requires five to ten successes to create and can be animated by Walking War Machine, which grants it five to ten health levels. Soak likewise varies. Unarmored brachial arrays have soak of 1L/3B. Armored brachial arrays, fortified with the equivalent of bracers have a soak of 3L/6B. ** Necro-drones animated with Walking War Machine (or by nemissaries) have the stats of a two- to foursegment spine chain (see Exalted, p. 299). Those raised with more powerful necromancy use the stats appropriate to the spell that raised them, based on the one to five successes gained on the necrosurgery roll that assembled the pieces. *** The war frame has the Willpower and other Mental Attributes of the nemissary controlling it. # Once the weapon of mephitic desolation has taken half its health levels in damage, it can no longer sing. ## The web is the spider gets two jabbing leg attacks per turn. If it does five or more health levels damage, the target is impaled and envenomed. That character’s player must make a successful Stamina + Resistance roll, difficulty 3, or his character is paralyzed, after which point the web is the spider will suck Essence from the character at the rate of 5 motes per turn and then health levels (of blood) at the rate of one per turn.

EXALTED • BOOK OF BONE AND EBONY The exterior of a sky eater — when it is not airborne — is smooth black soulsteel occasionally broken by small smooth lines or dimples. The vehicle can carry up to 12 passengers, or six without crowding. As the sky eater flies through the skies of the Underworld, it travels at speeds of 80 to 120 miles per hour. When the sky eater takes flight, it is the product of a nightmare. The lines and dimples in the soulsteel plating open into dozens of gaping, toothless mouths. Those along the vehicle’s top side inhale the sky above them as dozens more open across the bottom to scream it out below. The voices are carefully tuned and resonate together like a choir of the damned. Creating a sky eater requires hundreds of ghosts to be painstakingly Moliated and soulforged together so that they share one “lung” that surrounds the passenger compartment. The Lion himself sees to it that the ghosts whose mouths appear on the top of the vehicle constantly feel like they’re drowning. Those on the bottom are always in fine-tuned agony. Ghosts the Lion particularly dislikes are slated for inclusion in his next sky eater. Sky eaters have a stealth mode as well. Instead of consuming the air above them, the mouths on the top surface of the sky eater consume any and all light to keep the airship aloft. When it uses this mode, the sky eater is absolutely silent, but the sky above the ship is rendered 112 absolutely black, and the gaping mouths on the bottom of the vehicle exhale a faint black mist. Sky eaters also have an attack mode. The vehicle hovers over its targets, no farther than 20 feet overhead, and at the operator’s command, the voices on the bottom become both louder and shriller, and the cacophonous dirge grinds apart the bones of those underneath (along with non-magical ceramic, stoneware and glass). The First and Forsaken Lion has deployed sky eaters outfitted with manifestation engines, to allow the vehicles to function in Creation. While he has not done this a great deal, he has done so enough to establish that the vehicle works as well in Creation as in the Underworld. MAELSTROM BARGE Sky eaters are relatively quick methods of travel, but they accommodate only a dozen passengers at the most. The Deathlords, especially the First and Forsaken Lion, often need to transport larger numbers of troops and large pieces of cargo. A fully loaded maelstrom barge carries 500 ghosts or four to five tons of cargo and can reach speeds of up to 100 miles per hour. The Deathlords tried variants of the sky eater, reanimated flying behemoths and other strategies for moving cargo rapidly, but nothing worked reliably. A few of the Deathlords still have such flying devices, but every one of these strange prototypes is unique
