Today we noticed a distinct lack of animals and ambient forest noise. It was very odd. It wasn't that long after that a pair of dire apes attacked us. Thanks to the joint efforts of the entire group we dispatched them without any major injuries or casualties. Charles and Kaelan received some minor injuries which were subsequently treated, and I took a beating on my right arm. From what I learned in Instructor Veris's classes, I realize we were very lucky that they didn't latch on to us. They could have seriously hurt one of us if they had done so. In the aftermath, we noted that the apes looked to be severely underfed. This would correspond to the fact they were far closer to civilized (and patrolled) areas. The lack of food is puzzling however. Perhaps in Havenwood, we'll put more of this puzzle together. I wonder what kind of town this is? Do they farm in the jungle? The headmaster said they cleared the land, so I would presume they did more than just clear it for houses. How else would you get food? Hunting can't provide it all can it?May the goddess smile upon this journey.-Catherine</blockquote>
