The torturer makes an infernal machine hose Strike against the restrained creature, with a hit successfully attaching the hose to the creature, that's thereafter off-guard and susceptible to Exsanguinate Subject until the hose is detached. Safely removing an attached sanguine hose from a living subject requires spending an action to attempt a DC 18 Crafting or Medicine check, or a DC 22 Athletics check (these DCs increase by 4 if the Strike to attach the hose was a critical hit), with the following results.
Critical Success The hose detaches without additional damage to the subject.
Success The hose detaches from the subject fairly cleanly, but the toothy sphincter at its end manages to take a chunk of flesh as a souvenir, dealing 1d4 piercing damage to the subject.
Failure The hose separates from the skin with a sickening “plop” and a spurt of fresh blood. The subject takes 1d4 piercing damage and 1d6 persistent bleed damage
Critical Failure As failure, but the subject also becomes drained 1.Change Shape [one-action] (arcane, concentrate, polymorph) Shulgurk changes into his hybrid form, spider form, or human form. The above statistics assume he's in his hybrid form. While in human form, he can't use his fangs attack and loses his climb speed. While in spider form, he can't use weapons.Exsanguinate Subject [one-action] (manipulate) Frequency once per round; Effect Shulgurk manipulates the infernal machine to deal 1d6 persistent bleed damage as long as a creature remains attached to the infernal machine by a sanguine hose. If a creature takes this bleed damage, it must succeed at a DC 19 Fortitude save or become enfeebled 1 for 1 minute.Fire Cone [one-action] (fire, manipulate) Frequency once per round; Effect Shulgurk releases a lever on the infernal machine to send a dose of lesser alchemist's fire through a pliable metal hose, dealing 1d8 fire damage in a 20-foot cone (DC 18 basic Reflex save). Each time Shulgurk uses this ability, reduce the total doses of lesser alchemist's fire available to the infernal machine by 1.Spin Silk (concentrate, exploration, manipulate) By spending several minutes, Shulgurk can produce silk to craft items made of webbing or cloth. He can produce enough silk in a day to craft a single garment.
