The group marched through the forest.
"Be careful here." Said Marie, "Giant spiders live in forests like this."
"Great, we just had to come across a spider infested forest." Said William.
"What are giant spiders like?" Asked Ken.
"Well, they're huge," said Marie, "and they have eight eyes and fangs."
"Well they are spiders," said Renny the Beastkin.
Beastkins are a race that resemble human with animal features. Renny had horns like a goat, hooves, and fur covering his entire body.
"Giant spiders have been known to eat people. And if their eggs hatch, their babies will crawl inside your mouth and eat you alive."
Renny was a fighter who also had an interest in fortune telling.
"That's not all that's here," said Mica the Duluth.
Duluths are a race of people have no heads. Instead they have a face on their chest. Mica was a skilled swordsman and he was cheerful and good humored, but a bit reckless and irresponsible.
"Giant bats and Scorpions too."
"Great," said Tara, "spiders, scorpions, and bats. This place is going to be a living nightmare. And we're still a hundred miles from the ark."
"We can't stop now," said Brian, "we've got to get back and warn the people about the curse."
"Come on," said William, "let's keep moving. The sooner we get out of here, the better."
The group continued through the forest.
Suddenly a spider dropped down from the tree and attacked William.
"Watch out!"
"Argh!"
William swung his sword and cut the spider in half.
"That was close," he said, "let's get out of here."
Out of a muck pool emerged two giant worm like creatures.
"Giant leeches!" Yelled Luke.
The leeches shot their tentacles out and wrapped around the group, then started pulling them towards their gaping mouths.
"No, we can't get sucked in!" Yelled Tara, "We'll be digested alive!"
"Magic missile!"
Tara's magic missile hit one of the leeches and made it let go.
"Let me go!" Yelled Gong as one of the leeches wrapped into tentacles around him and pulled him towards its mouth.
William swung his sword and cut the tentacles off the leech, setting Gong free.
"Thanks," said Gong.
"Keep running! Don't stop!"
There was a strange hissing noise, it sounded like a snake.
A large bug like creature with tentacles like an octopus popped out of the ground and wrapped its tentacles around Marie.
"No!" She screamed, "Help!"
William turned and saw Marie struggling against the tentacles.
"Marie!" He yelled.
"William! Help me!"
William ran towards Marie and stabbed the tentacle monster, killing it.
"Thank you." Said Marie.
"Come on, let's get out of here." Said William.
Out of a small cave, a giant lizard with four legs and a spiked tail and sharp teeth emerged.
Renny charged forward and slashed the lizard, causing it to retreat back into its hole.
"Nice work." Said William.
"Yeah," said Renny, "thanks."
Out of nowhere a giant scorpion jumped and lunged at William.
"Watch it!" Yelled Brian.
"Look out, William!"
William quickly stepped aside, dodging the scorpion.
"Acid Splash!"
Brian fired a ball of acid, which struck the scorpion, melting its skin and killing it.
A giant crab jumped out of the bushes and grabbed William's arm with its claw.
"Let me go!" Said William.
Mica stabbed the crab with her sword, killing it.
"Thanks." Said William.
"Let's get out of here," said Alice as she a spear at a dozen giant cockroaches that were flying towards them, "these things are everywhere."
"No kidding," said Gong, "how are we supposed to get through this place? We're getting attacked by giant insects all over the place."
Ken swung his axe at a giant blood worm.
"Just keep fighting!" Said William, "We have to make it out of this place!"
"We can't do this! There's too many of them!"
Suddenly a giant centipede wrapped its body around Gong.
"Fire!" Yelled Luke.
The group shot flaming arrows, burning the centipede and making it let go of Gong.
Gort hit a huge ant with his club, shattering its exoskeleton.
"This is ridiculous!" Said William, "We have to get out of here!"
"I've got an idea!" Said Alice as she lit a torch, then threw the torch away.
Soon all of the giant bugs and insects went after the torch.
"Wow, that was smart." Said Marie.
"Let's go." Said William, "Before those things come back."
"Right," said Renny, "the path is clear now."
