Ren immediately takes a step back and jumps to the side, trying to dodge the lunge and attempt to bite (10). She follows it up with a shot to her face (AIM: 8, DMG: 5)]
[The bullet hits her square in the chest and she shrieks, instantly turning into oily black ichor and splashing all over the pillows. You can still hear her muttering angrily as the goo soaks into the bedding and starts to disappear, giving you the impression she's not necessarily dead so much as driven off. And she sounds pretty salty about it!]
[It gets darker momentarily as you switch the lights, but once you get the proper one plugged in, the room becomes brightly illuminated, cutting through the last of the illusion that was haunting this place. You feel like maybe now it'll be easier to see things for what they really are.]
[Nobody will be deceived in this room again.]
[SADLY the alarm starts blaring outside as you do this, and the flood light doesn't quite have enough time to boot up or whatever before Arachne comes back for round 2. But everything worked out in the end anyway. Some stories really do have happy endings.]

[She tries again to pull off the spiderwebs.]
I have people who are waiting for me - he's waiting for me!
Re: Dolus
If you're not going to give me anything, then maybe I'll just take it for myself.
[Before your eyes, her whole lower half starts to morph into a gigantic spider.]
[Immediately, she lunges at you, trying to bite you on the shoulder with her long fangs.]

Re: Dolus
[Well. The ichor is pretty gross. Whatever, at least she managed to get rid of the thing for now. Ren sighs in relief.]
Good riddance.
[Once the thing is gone, she immediately beelines for the black cable to disconnect it from the lights and then connect it to the yellow cable.]
