Krindor accepts the metal rod and nods his head slightly at the drow. He'll then examine the rod.
As you hold the rod tightly, the top opens up and forms a canopy from the rain, over your head.
The drow seems pleased, and then continues to walk past your party with his friends. They seem reluctant, but soon enough they follow. Your group contines now.

The rain has softened, and it is nolong so incredibly impossible to travel. the forests are thicker here, and your minds wander between all the exotic plants and other materials around you. The thickets of myst have all subsided, and you occationally spot some passive forest creatures. At one point a large leech-like creature comes up to Mak's leg and tries to bit him, but is quickly squiched underneath his boot. At one point, you come into a regrowing section of the forest, and Brawn (with his height advantage) can see right over the trees, making it relatively difficult for him to see anything below the forestline.

The wilderness is full of pine-like trees, but thier color is red and purple, not green. The surroundings don't seem very interesting, and for the most part everyone's path is clear. There are large spiders around you (monstrous small and medium sized spiders) but none of them try to provoke you. They appear to be relatively intelligent, as they communicate empathically if you near thier webs, with threatening emotions. This prevents you from becoming entangles, or getting to close to one of the spiders. They apparently are well fed enough, and desire no battle with something prepared to defend itself.

You hear some barking in the distance, and some whimpering. A pack of dogs can be sighted in the distance, driving away a displacer beast. They manage to circle your group multiple times, but they are a distance off (over 500 feet) and in the cover of the brush. Eventually it appears as if they have left completely, and are no longer heard by your group. Then, you come upon a stragler from the pack. A blink dog (knowledge check revealed by Khala) lays on the ground in the clearing before you. It's tounge is licking it's own nose repeatedly, trying to wipe off the smell of food on it's nose. It looks over your group, and decides that you don't appear dangerous. It walks up to Yorick and then sits in front of him, it's eyes cocked over on the side. The rain still falls lightly, and the dog smells like a wet dog would...
