Effect	Once per encounter, deliver the Spider’s final strike, an execution perfected through webs of manipulation and misdirection. Kiss of the Widow is a melee or ranged attack with a small or medium weapon. If the attack deals at least 1 Lethal Damage, apply the following additional effects based on which Spider powers are currently affecting the target, or possessed by the Adept: Mark of the Spider: If the target is affected by Mark of the Spider the attack gains +2 Armor Piercing. Lure the Prey: If the target was affected by Lure the Prey in the past 24 hours, you deal an additional +2d10 damage. Web of Intentions: If this attack satisfies Web of Intentions (i.e., 3+ setup conditions met), the bonus damage from Web of Intentions applies in full and stacks with this strike. Binding Web or Tripwire Trap: If the target is Grappled or was Prone this turn due to one of your web-based traps, they must make a Physical Resistance roll vs. your Deception + Spider or be rendered Conditions#Stunned until the end of their next turn (they cannot take actions or dodge). Vanish from Memory: If this attack kills or incapacitates the target, Vanish from Memory activates automatically (no cost). All witnesses must succeed a Mental Resistance vs. your Deception + Spider or be unable to recall seeing you strike. The scene becomes fragmented in their memory, blurred, contradictory, or erased.
