[QUOTE="JimAde, post: 2549148, member: 16739"] As Sirius and Lucas approach the shrouded figure, Ery and Donnybrook scan the trees for signs of trouble. Though the forest floor is covered with crackling leaves, many remain on the trees and bushes to provide hiding places for them...and anything else that might be around. Sirius and Lucas reach the moaning figure and see that it's a large man. He's wrapped in a haphazard way and between the wizard's dagger and the warrior's axe his head and arms are quickly freed. He just has time to mutter "Thank the gods" before Ery and Donnybrook see multi-legged shapes moving stealthfully through the trees!

It's about 20 feet up and the tree is about 50 feet from Ery (total range 60 feet). Donnybrook also spies another spider and a hideous bipedal monstrosity approaching from the far side of the trail.
