They stay the night with more free food and such, and then the festivities end and they leave the following morning on the south trail to eventually get to Fort Amber. They head south, and after around 20 miles or so, the trail starts to wind up the hills and mountains. The goings are getting a little harder. It forks twice, and Alzar was not informed of any branches, and both times, it does not go due south. Scouts by Megala and Dryshik are unhelpful.
He is not sure if they are on the right path when they comes to a gorge, with a stone path over it. The wagons won’t go over though. It is the right path or not? Alzar always chose the path closest to the south. They could go back and then return if another is not the right way. Of course, even if this is the right way, they can’t take the wagons over, but perhaps Alzar can see another way. Dryshik and Megala are sent up and scout ahead, and it looks even darker and rougher there than here.
Alzar orders everyone to stay here with the horses and wagons and moves forward, he has crossed natural bridge mostly before a trap is sprung. A giant web-net hidden with the natural bridge itself strikes and Alzar is lifted into the air as the net springs around him. The web-net grabs Alzar and throws him into a webbed area where all of the bridges and areas look like one giant web-maze.
