==Area Information== |
|||
*Spotted kashika serpents inhabit the [[Beneath Fang's Peak]] mine in {{rmap|151|Fang Cove}}. The area is only accessible to [[Estate Holder]]s. Although non-estate holders can join the [[sea mammoth]] to Fang Cove, only estate holders may leave the building where the mammoth docks. |
|||
*Their habitat is indoors so they start advancing at pole range and often spawn in packs of two or three. |
|||
*Movement in the cave (including {{com|retreat}}ing) can result in entanglement, a web effect that prevents movement and other actions for the duration [Roundtime: # seconds]. Skill in [[Athletics]] will mitigate the time it takes to [[escaping|escape]] this web effect. With sufficient skill it can be avoided altogether. Experienced dilettante's (135 ranks) can avoid it when retreating (12/15/2016). More skill is required to avoid it when moving room to room. |
|||
*Occasionally an adventurous kashika serpent will slither out the southern end of the cave into the, normally uninhabited, outlying dense undergrowth of {{rmap|151|Fang's Shadow}}. |
