I do not fear anything which can be killed, and I remind you, ANYTHING can be killed.

Back on the scene of the abduction it doesn't take long for Fang to find the trail again. Broken branches and signs of struggle lead from the campsite over the crest of the hill and into Darkmoon Vale below. Within the forest the tightly knit canopy blocks out the majority of the moonlight that led you this far. Shadows stretch out in all directions from your brightly light expedition and Luger, following Fang, leads the way into the valley. The trail descends consistently down into the basin of the valley, sometimes steeply, sometimes at a gentle slope- but always at some grade. At night the forest is alive with a cacophony of nature's music. Frogs, crickets, and owls layer over other and other less easily identifiable beasts call out as you hike onwards. Ten or fifteen minutes in Luger slows, staring off into the trees of as he walks.
Luger:[sblock]Something is following you. You've heard enough snapping twigs and rustling leaves to be sure and just now you saw a slight shadowy figure darting from one tree to another off to the right of the trail about fifty feet away.[/sblock]

About Ordin's rear guard position. It's true that it will take you longer to make it to the front line if the fight comes from ahead, but it won't necessarily happen that way out in a wilderness environment. Luger called front first and got a Light cast on him so it makes more sense for him to be there now. But Light spells can only take you so far and this valley is huge. When light sources fail you'll want to trade with Luger to take advantage of darkvision in front. S'good?
Also I've noticed Ferrix hasn't been on Enworld since his last post six days ago, but I know he is a prolific PbPer so I'm assuming he is busy or not able to continue right now. WarShrike weigh in and let me know if you are still with us. I assume you are busy or just waiting for more direct action but let me know. I don't want to assume you are here if you aren't. Keeps me from including plot relevant points or whatever through spoilers that will never be revelaed to the rest of the group.

Are you okay Luger?
"Thats it!" Azog exclaims in the dark, nearly shouting. "It's been nagging at me since we left the ruins, but i couldnt put my finger on it. Luger, that spider you killed, it wasn't of a variety that spins webs. So that hanging corpse... i think there may be a bigger one in there."

"Shut this hole then and lets move on! I have no time for biologica research of the species of spider we may found in a death filled basement! To put it in simple words for you my apes, the children are not there, so, lets move on!" Dimzel shouts, exasperated. His cold blue eyes glow like the falling snow.

Luger turns around to those following only for a second to whisper, "Something is near. Fifty feet away, off to the right of the trail."
He slowly draws his longsword into his right hand, standing ready to charge whatever is out there if it comes into the light.
"As far as the spider nest went, are you sure it was another spider? I didn't see anything down there."

Aidan places the club on the ground, and scans the area for the creature Luger spoke of. He readies his light crossbow.
