((Ok, I'll handle the monsters for everyone then lol.  I'll post for Yuna and Giselle after you guys get some action.))<br/><br/>They didn't have to wait long after entering the woods for monsters to start swarming them from every direction.  If Yuna, Erizen, Emma, and Giselle thought they had it rough, almost as soon as Tyger, Ryu, Cammy, and Terra entered the jungle, they would feel a dark presence all around them that defied logic...unless you came from Menzoberranzan, the dark city of the Drow.  According to Lolth's precepts, a male is a lesser being to the demonic Spider Queen's favored females who hold all of the places of power for the most part, and thus it is far more common to see a troublesome male become what was already preparing to strike the group down from all sides with loaded crossbows dipped in powerful poisons designed to paralyze as well as make them sleep, to axes and swords in their hands.  One problem presented itself though with these creatures....they were not dark elves alone, but cursed fiends called Driders, their entire lower regions that of bloated poisonous spiders, their minds warped and twisted to that of a ravaging mindless animal full of hatred and agony because of their cursed forms.  Thirty had come from under the island, in concealed shafts that led to caverns that spanned most of the island from underground.  That's why Giselle and her friends that were nearing the cliff hadn't seen them since they had been too busy getting to the surface.<br/><br/>Thirty were already up on solid ground and who knew how many more was on their way.  How Helena had managed to get ANY of the Driders without the Drow knowing was one puzzle that would have to be sorted out later.  For now, Ryu and friends would have a fight on their hands as the first volley of poisoned crossbow bolts came in like wasps defending their nest.....<br/><br/>((This is a chance for everyone to show off is why I have this going at all.  Good luck and hopefully I'll see you at the mansion lol.))
