As followers of the great Zig-mah the Vurm-tai fight to keep the beast free from the scar of Chaos and pure of any taint that would attempt to befoul it for they know of a great secret that lies within the beast. That said; as the worm travels towards Nassollotyl it passes through the Forest of Gorch, and the Spiderfang lairs that infest the forest now delay the nomads in their accompaniment of the worm.

Moonstalka was the first that foresaw the coming of the Blue Death. Raising the alarm, the grots of the Forest of Gorch now ride to war against an enemy they know they cannot defeat. But that matters not, for Moonstalka says that the great worm has eaten a great big shroom that will call the Great Spider down from the night. They need only find the shroom, and victory will come through fang and web.
