And attacked by more crabs is exactly what happened.
Before the soup was even ready, they already had crabs coming from three different directions, and Cara was out hunting them.
She had realized that the creatures had a fatal flaw. The actual brain was right between the eyes, and behind one of the least armoured portions of their body.
The trick was to get past the claws, as they would guard their vulnerable frontal area as they charged.
You couldn't attack it from the top, as most would try. And you couldn't attack from below, if you were smaller than the crab. You had to attack it from the front and straight inwards to get a clean hit. But with a bit of practice, she learned to taunt them into snapping their pincers at her, and that revealed the soft spot for her to hit them with a [Void Blast].
She definitely didn't want to damage them too badly. These shells were Overlord Ranked chitin. Compared to most materials, they were exceptionally durable, and light for the amount of protection that they offered.
It might not be as good as some of the special Overlord Ranked metals, but Cara was pretty sure that Rae could make some really awesome armour and trinkets out of Crab bits.
All they had to do was have crab for dinner for a few days, and Rae would have all the materials that she could need to make entire suits of armour.
Wouldn't that be cool? They could make it a shop specialty, as it would layer so well in the traditional Drodh armour style.
Oh, that would look good on the Dana. They should make her new armour.
[I made her armour a month ago.] Rae reminded the badger.
[That's working armour, not decorative armour.] Cara replied haughtily.
Rae paused. The badger was right. It was working armour. She could make it look so much cooler if she wasn't worried about function. If she went all out on the decoration, Dana would become a walking billboard for her armouring skills.
She could have a Limited Edition Samurai Dana.
She was already getting properly Stabby with that increased attack speed, and Rae was proud of her squishy little human sister. She had even made her Golems competent with a sword, and that was a real accomplishment.
Rae's golems were pretty good, but they were still lacking on the skills front.
The Spectral Knights, on the other hand, had excellent skills. They should teach the Dana Mage how to summon those.
Rae mentally nudged Karl, reminding him that he should be more generous with the skills.
{Target Incompatible with Skill [Undead Army]}
[Boo this system.] Rae complained.
A whole army of undead knights fighting in front of Dana would be wonderful. Especially after Rae made her some new decorative Lady General armour.
