OOC:
That is a really great roll. Triumph with a twist. Anything else would have gotten you into big trouble ;)After some resistance, the rope in front of them snaps. It seems like it was under a lot of tension as, to both sides of the Dawn, it shoots away. The sailors notice that the rope seems to have been connected to many of the others here as multiple ropes slacken now that the tension is gone from this one. As long as Shaw keeps overclocking the bite and navigates carefully, the Dawn will make it out of this area of extra-thick tangle.
As the ship is moving ahead, Cait and Elrenna notice something beneath them. Something large, larger than the Fading Dawn, is attached to a tree. While from the distance and through the branches, it is hard to identify what it could be, both women are fairly certain that it is some sort of gigantic, shining black beetle. Four white strings are attached to its back, one of which has just loosened. It appears that this web of sticky tripwires was some sort of alarm system in case anyone travels through here, but fortunately, the beetle seems to have somehow not noticed that one of its ropes was cut. It appears to be sleeping, unaware of the wildsailors traveling through its web.
