Stat block for possible combat encounter (book 3 spoilers)

[Shai2e]

A little clarification about the winter event "interview with a spider":

Spoiler:

Ren Mei Li is given a social stat block, but I don't see a combat stat block. If the PCs do end up fighting her, should I just use the jorogumo stat block from nethys? Are there any modifications to the stat block itself that are required other than those mentioned in the social stat block?

Dont have my book nearby, but I suppose you could use a normal Jorogumo stat block. However if a fight breaks out it will be a very tough one.
I think the point of the event is that the PCs aren't supposed to win with violence, its like the Nosoi event where you are forced to placate someone who is extremely rude, the PCs have to play her game.
So I wouldn't worry about her actual stats unless the PCs force initiative, just treat her as having +100 Everything combat-related until then.
If the PCs seem to be pushing for a fight, let her fire a warning shot *Outside of initiative*, and make it one that demonstrates how overpowered she is if the PCs were to fight her, then ask the if they are sure they wish to fight this battle.

There are actually clear instructions in the book for her strategy in the fight such that she won't just kill the PCs, so that part isn't a problem. It just doesn't have the stat block

My suggestion:

Spoiler:

She does have stats in the 4th adventure, but those are specifically her "modern day" stats. The version of her the PCs encounter in book 3 is a much younger version who not only has a different personality than the modern one, but is less experienced. AKA: Use the standard jorogumo stat block in case of a fight and that's perfect.
