They were heading for an ambush. A combination of past experience, several clear signs that something big had passed through the area, and the fact that a forest was perfect ambush territory during the night made the preceding statement all too obvious to Graham. So when the party reached the ambush, Graham managed to spot the trap before it could be sprung. While he couldn't see what was hiding in the foliage, he could see it's eyes. Graham looked stares with the beast in the bushes and made it clear that the element of surprise had been lost. Once the beast retreated out of sight, graham pulled out his heavy crossbow and loaded a bolt into the weapon. It was then that he noticed the torch light in the distance and heard sound of fighting in that general direction. "Anyone else see that light?" Graham asked as he gestured towards the light with his crossbow "Sounds like there's a fight going on over there".
