A Small Competition

Roland kept the two spiders lurking under the rock.

Because they were made of magic, they were very elastic and would not disappear as long as their main components were not destroyed.

Once all the sounds around them had faded, Roland directed the two remaining magic spiders to carefully crawl out of the stone fragments before darting inside the shadows of a nearby mound.

Something that was almost transparent in itself, covered by shadows and hiding in a pit, would be impossible for anyone but the gods to find.

Shortly after, three dark-skinned orcs appeared and cleared the rocks near the magic gate.

After waiting a little longer for the three orcs to leave, the two spiders crawled out and began to head north.

As they crawled, they sent images of the nearby environment to Roland.

The portal in the Realm of Devils looked the same as the one in the main plane, and it was under a large ring-shaped depression.
