Successfully completed a short rest, Sonny played a song to help us relax, then Nock joined in with bagpipes.
We continued to the NE in the afternoon. Nock stumbles into a spiderweb, and battle ensues. We fought 5(?) giant spiders, and found corpses of other animals and orcs that had been caught in the webs and drained of bodily fluids. Leucis notices wounds on the dead spiders, showing that they’ve been fighting recently and further back as well. We scout the area, move a little further away, and set up camp for the evening. The evening passes without incident, just a little bit of rain.
The next morning, we set out, proceeding more slowly since we’re closer to our destination with the advantage of spotting spider webs more easily. After a while, we hear a scream in a guttural voice, off to the north. Nock asks the group if we want to check on that or continue on. Leucis hears what sounds like a fight, with more than 2-3 critters involved. We sidetrack that way to stealthily check it out.
There is combat happening, as we near the noise. Sonny scouts ahead with his dexterous cat limbs, while Nock and Leucis prepare for cover fire, if needed. Sunny tries to signal back to us that she sees spiders, though we have trouble understanding. As we move closer and get a better look, we see spiders fighting orcs (there was a spellcaster), worgs, and bugbears. We join in the fray, working to kill both groups. Sonny is cursed at one point, but shakes it off after a round. After killing all, we stopped - still need clean-up and looting.
