Uria's skills must have been rustier than she thought, because she had only made it about halfway to the sycamore when the shrill call of a horn came from the upper branches of the tree. A mite, looking like the blue uglier degenerate version of a goblin, then scuttled down from the sycamore's bare branches and disappeared somewhere between the gnarly roots of the ancient landmark.<br/><br/>When the group reached the top of the hill and the base of the tree at last, they found a poorly hidden entrance amid its roots. A root-lined shaft dropped down into the mites' underground lair. Without warning a trio of giant centipedes slithered out of the hole! After having followed their tracks for so long, the heroes could see the segmented horrors at last, as long as a man is tall. They moved along the ground by writhing and twisting, their venomous mandibles pulsing in search of the warm meat that had so kindly showed up on their doorstep!<br/><br/>There being only three of the giant centipedes and four potential targets, Iradir was the lucky one out of the group as the centipedes went for the others leaving him alone. Uria's luck was as good as the cleric's as she managed to avoid the monster's bite. Garisto and Grolo weren't so lucky - the centipedes' mandibles sunk into their sweet flesh, injecting a paralytic venom into their veins that would numb their muscles and slow them down.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Enemies:</div><div class="spoiler_body">3 Giant Centipedes<br/>AC 14, HP 5<br/><br/>Garisto and Grolo each take 4 damage.
