We made it safely back to the forest, with no signs of the poachers. I suspected once the second one found out their captive was gone he might alert their boss, but hopefully we'd be long gone by the time they could return. However once we entered the forest, splitting my attention between the Sith and the forest was not as easy as I'd hoped. His dark fur made him hard to follow in the darkness.

This proved to be a mistake. As we advanced through the tress, I missed the stealthy approach of the hunters from above. In a moment the air above the Sith was filled with tentacles as two arboreal octopi threw out their limbs in an attempt to ensnare us. I managed to quickly[6,1] activated my light-sabre, filling the air with a purple light. With the added light, I spied two more descending from the trees above. Quick as ever on my feet, I dodged to the side, away from the limbs of the first two.
"There's more coming, get down!" I shouted, preparing to hopefully send the two directly above us scurrying back where they came from.

[quote] Wolfe, the air above you is filled with octopi arms as these two huge creatures attempt to ensnare you in their limbs. Roll to evade them! 
[i]"The arboreal octopus is a multi-tentacled horror that lives in the upper canopy of the forest. It descends to the lower branches to ambush its prey from above. Pack hunters that rely on stealth and agility, the octopi wrap themselves around large tree trunks or solid tree limbs and ensnare unwitting prey as it passes below. Once an arboreal octopus has grabbed its victim, it tries to haul it up to a higher perch to eat its meal."[/i][/quote]
