Nighttime in Val de Luxémont was disrupted by the sounds of battle and the skittering of hundreds. Four figures - an exotic man, a towering woman, a slight woman, and a hooded dwarf - were seen carrying a lifeless fifth, covered in cocoon webbing, out from the woods behind the lumberjack settlement, while desperately fighting through a legion of spiders coming from the darkness, ranging in the unnatural sizes of rats to that of horses. The onslaught left them battered and bruised before they were able to reach the relative safety of city walls.
