The four companions were now nearing the midway point to their journey. There had not been much excitement along the road to Gea. The occassional farmer or woodsmen had crossed their path. They even met with a local ranger who was on the hunt. But that was the extent of it."I'm bored of this trip already," Alexa exclaimed as their first tenday drew to a close. "We haven't seen so much as a rabid animal on this whole trip!""I do hunger for battle," was the curt half-orc's reply.Omar balked at his companions' bloodlust, "I have found there is usually far more in combat to regret than to revel in. We should be thankful to the gods for our peaceful journey so far.""But I want to see some excitement," Alexa complained. "I didn't offer to go on this trip just to get some exercise. I figured there would be monsters, or highway bandits at least!"Hectar was solemn and quiet as always. He did not even bat an eye towards the others' conversation. What he did notice was that the glade they were passing through was growing thicker and with the sun nearing the horizon, it was growing dark quickly. "We should make camp," he blurted out.His companions all turned to face him. On the rare occasions that he spoke they listened. They all wandered a short ways off the path until they found a suitable clearing then they began to divest their packs. Bostow began assembling the tents while Alexa went to work on a fire. Omar headed out to look for a stream from which to gather water. Hectar, for his part, did nothing that seemed to contribute to the camp. Instead he sat on the open ground and began to meditate for a short while. He soon broke into a deep chant after which he stood."The camp is warded," he said plainly, then entered into one of the tents Bostow had completed.*****</blockquote>
