Bexer would rather go forward than back (i.e. let's finish the hex)
And with Komana's change of vote, I'll say you all press on!
With night closing in, the party presses on into the dark. Anyone with darkvision, please roll a perception check!
@Bexer: As the party travels through the area, you notice on two occasions what appear to be marks on the ground. Drag marks, as if something had pulled something away. The second set of marks are actually fairly fresh, with one section of very obviously humanoid fingers clawing up a section of dirt nearly ten feet in length.
Bexer raises a hand, "Hold up a moment. Something is in the area. Tessandriel, can you take a look at these?"
Dismounting, Bexer casts Light on a small rock near one of the drag marks, "I'm wondering if something is trying not to be noticed..."
"Let me see."
She dismounts and takes a look at the tracks.
"Hmm, now what does that remind me of?"
@Tess: The marks appear to be that something dragged a humanoid of somwhere betweek 5'5" to 6' off towards the southwest. Or several things dragged it. There appear to be several marks indicating several creatures or one with multiple legs.
"Harump, always at the end of the day. What is it?"
"What do you see?" Mikhaela asks confusedly.
Komana only observes, hoping that Mithlynnta speaks something about what she sees, what is happening.
"We should follow it if we can."
@Ranzo: The tracks are fairly fresh, and Tess (and anyone with Darkvision or a torch/sunrod) can follow them.
"We're here to investigate...so let's investigate."
Bexer unsheathes his sword and begins following the drag marks.
As the party follows the trail, it continues onward into a copse of trees. By this point, the finger-drag marks appear to have ceased, only a long drag mark now. Following it around a bend, the scent of decay begins to fill the air some.
Mikhaela looks around, carefully.
Bexer pauses and looks about before casting Light upon his sword.
Anyone else eager to try their Perception <.<
Ranzo puts his bow away and puts his shield on and readies his sword and looks around at the edge of the light.
Perception:
Komana remains alert and unsheathes her sword to preparing herself for any sneak attack.
"Trick víla, nebo ještě něco horšího.", she says looking to Kossuuk.
Orsino looks around warily....

Mikhaela moves as indicated and looks some more.
As Mikhaela advances, a slight movement catches her eye. Almost due south, a small area of the clearing is risen compared to the relative flatness of the land around it. Then, with a slight screech, a large arachnid-like creature bursts forth from the mound. Though definitely having 8 legs and numerous eyes, it's... odd looking. Especially the wings on it's back and it's coloration is vibrant. A purple-hue with bright orange streaks running the course of it's body. It's wings propel it forward, and it's maw opens, attempting to latch on to Mikhaela.
As it's bite sinks in, not only does the pain of the bite sink in, but a heat seems to spread from it.
Before Mikhaela moves...
"Mikhaela don't go so far, stay close ..."
After...
"MIKHAELA! NOOO!!............."
Init:
Ranzo will move 15' South and 5' East to end up alongside the spider, just at the edge of the light.
And swing with his sword.
Sword:
Damage:
Yelling in Fey: "Dread spider, your days are over."
Mikhaela shrieks in pain.
Move me one more hex 'Down' please alongside the spider, on top of the light edge..
Oh and I spoke in Sylvan by the way, Fey excitement got the better of me. :)
Mikhaela, your strength is slightly sapped from your arm as the odd looking giant spider finally lets your arm go free.
Orsino starts and then moves quickly to prepare himself for battle...
Init
He grabs two vials from his bandolier and quaffs them in rapid succession...
Bexer concentrates, casting Enlarge Person.
@Bexer: I remember n_n That said, are you going to roll for initiative <.< lol
Mikhaela will whack at the big bug with her mace on her turn.
for
The spider clicks it's mandibles together, lunging at Mikhaela once more!
It misses, but it's wings flutter some as if angry!
Orsino surges forward and smashes his now stone like fists into one of the spider leg's, his goal is to cripple it...
attack
damage
Tess draws her bow, aiming it at the creature as she nocks an arrow.
Kossuk draws his sword and advances.
Komana runs to take a strategic location for a better strike.
+2 flanking w Ranzo? = 11
But she is very concerned about the safety of Mikhaela, "withdraw Mikha, withdraw..."
Mikhaela steps back five feet.
Bexer steps forward and strikes.
Ranzo will stay where he is and attack with the flank.
Sword:
