Drallexh Web

I grabbed the string, thinking the netting was the same as my plane of existence. I was very wrong. It stung at first, like a bee had become aggrivated all across my palm. I realised quickly I couldn't remove the substance from my hand, my poor guide spent several minutes trying to help me remove it. I won't make that mistake again.

Drallexh Web is a natural substance from the Fae Lands that is commonly used to create netting and traps because of its strength and sticky properties.

Description

When first collected from the spiders of Shiverhollow, the natural material at first looks very thin and fragile. It is then woven so four strands are stuck together, which provides significant tensile strength to the combined strings. It retains this sticky property, making it difficult to remove the string from the skin as a thin layer of acid burns and embeds into the first layers of skin.

The string is a brilliant white color, but on close inspection there are very small barbed thorns on its surface. These thorns are slightly green, creating a small gradient if someone looks closely at the string from white to green.

Usage

When woven into a string, Drallexh Web was first used as a material to create netting, particularly because its sticky nature would keep a person trapped more easily. Over time, the netting now includes metal balls at the end to force the string into the ground and entrap the target with a significant amount of acid.

This latest version of Drallexh Web netting gave some the idea of using the string as a core part of traps, initially capturing small beasts, and eventually larger targets by lining layers of the string together to create a sticky sheet to trap foes. This sheet also slowly dissolves some of the skin of any creature, making it easier to dispose of.
