Someone is nearby.

You reach out to touch the tree to get your bearings but instead touch a firm muscular leg.
Suddenly, a hand wraps around your waist and you're snatched up by something. Your body dangles helplessly in the air. Legs kick and arms flail as you thrash about. Despite your best efforts, you don't manage to hit or kick anything. You can't reach anywhere to sting whatever has gotten ahold of you.
