Moving from the burning husk that was once Arturick's, you settle on resting for now...hoping the nightmares will not haunt you forever of the actrocities you've seen.
{Where you sleep is not really important.}
Once again, as you finally slip from painful awareness into the dark oblivion of dreaming, you feel your mind travel to places best left alone....
~~~
The warmth of the fire is soothing and the crackle of the flames is hypnotic...
You put your foot up on nearby rock, awaiting the others to come back from the nightly hunt with a meal you can all enjoy...leaning back, you can see more stars here than you can ever remember.
As you sigh, knowing that all is well tonight, you catch a glimpse of a star - once burning brightly in the night sky - as it fades and becomes nothing more than another inch of ebony sky. Then another. Then another...whole stroke of the sky are wiped out in seconds and soon the sky is nothing but the deepest of darkness.
A noise from the nearby brush turns your attention to the forrest-side. Your companions coming back from the hunt? You just as soon realize that you're wrong as you do that you're being attacked.
Like a flood of water over the dykes in a harbor, the trees themselves seem to spew forth a million spiders or more. Like a moving carpet or a crop-killing swarm, they leak from the forrest and smother the flames of your fire and surround you. Some are barely the size of a fingernail, others are almost waist high...and they are all pitch black, bearing no markings or differentiation.
You even think they are eyeles...
Swinging wildly, trying to bat the attackers away, you soon find yourself waist-deep in the spider swarm, frantically clawing to get higher and higher atop the pile.
As they close about you, a million jaws biting you a million times and injecting you with their poison - you hear a cackling laughter. Looking to the trees above you, there are eight dark figures hanging from the tree.
Large spiders, the same size as any man, hang from the tree limbs above you. They cackle as they dangle from thin web-like strands in the tree...horribly though, each one has a human face.
Kurzen's face...
Then, no more. You are swallowed by the spider-swarm...
Waking up in a cold-sweat, barely refreshed, you find that dawn has just come up over the horizon. Hopefully your day will be better than your night...
