79.murk-demonspawn.17.17

The murk was heavier than usual, with visibility down to a few paces as we -- me, with Shad, my guardian, trailing a short distance behind -- clambered up above the Wise Wood tree line, following Ben Lane to the summit of Knowle Hill. Shad went off after a scrufftail after we had descended back down to the banks of the River Loxley, I expect he was keeping an eye on me from a distance, but I didn't actually see him again today.
