The Blind Watchers of the Sylvan Shard
If anyone has tents, Rinya will suggest they be pitched on an incline, with the openings facing downhill, so as to avoid having rain water flow inside.
For those without tents, she will try to build a lean-to or other form of cover, again, on an incline with the openings facing downhill. Remembering the warnings about the dryads, she will avoid cutting live trees and will use scrub brush and dead wood, and she will instruct others to do the same.

Tumna has been wrapped in her cloak since the first droplets of water, even though it doesn't do much.
"Trips to the forest always sound nicer than they end up being," she mutters when the sprinkling turns to rain.
"Wonder why hero tales never tell about nights like these?" She asks no one in particular as she tries to look for a place for her bedroll that is at least somewhat covered from the rain.

Having no tent or better protection and not wanting to soak his bedroll then carry it around heavy and wet, he props himself up against the trunk of a tree and pulls his hood low to let most of the rain run down without getting in his face as he tries to rest.

OOC: Same watch, I assume:
1st: Rinya, Tumna
2nd: Khairi, Saithnar
3rd: Richard, Thallirae
4th: Lucien, Thallirae
Though uncomfortable, the night passes uneventfully.
The next day, the rain lets up some. As you travel deeper into the Silverwood, the forest around you becomes denser, the trail you walk becomes narrower and less well traveled, and eventually the sun completely disappears behind the canopy, and your world is a constant green. You notice that water drips down the trunks of the trees, but very little rain drops make it to the underbrush, which has grown somewhat scarcer.
Around the time for the day's travel to end, you reach a sort of clearing. Thallirae indicates that this might be a good place to make camp.
To move things along a bit...
Tumna and Rinya take the first watch. During the first hour, Rinya hears something rustling in the trees. Something like a spray, and something large. Tumna doesn't hear a thing. But then suddenly, they both catch a glimpse of it:
[sblock=Tumna: ]There, in the trees, some 60' above you, is a creepy looking creature, humanoid but with a spider-like face and horrible hands. It's climbing on some webbing that you're pretty sure wasn't there when you settled in for the night.[/sblock]
[sblock=Rinya: ]There, in the trees, some 60' above you, are two creepy looking creatures, humanoid but with spider-like faces and horrible hands. They're climbing on some webbing that you're pretty sure wasn't there when you settled in for the night. They look like they're about to pounce on you.[/sblock]
OOC: The creatures haven't acted yet. Thanks to your spot/listens, you have 1 round to act before the creatures realize you've noticed them.
[sblock=Knowledge Nature DC: 15]Your character knows everything in the ettercap entry in the SRD.[/sblock]

OOC: Whoops! Yes, one of them is for Rinya, and that's a knowledge nature check.
"Tumna, I hear something," Rinya whispers, warning her companion. Glancing upwards, she sees a face staring back at her.
"EVERYBODY UP!," Rinya yells, "Monsters in the trees!" She stands, drawing her sword and taking a position to cover as many of her companions as she can.
ooc: Yell, stand and draw, move so that the badguys would have to provoke an AoO to get to as many of her companions as possible (if I can), ready an action to attack any hostiles entering her sphere of influence. Rinya has Combat Reflexes and can get up to 3 additional AoO's.
Greatsword: +5; 2d6+3; 19-20x2. No Power Attack or Rage yet.

OOC: Thanks to Rinya's action, everybody is aware of the danger. Initiative please. If you post your action and you're not Tumna, start your action prone.
