Alive?” he questions himself.  Am I still seeing things?”“No.  Our cars have been disconnected from the main engine.”They look outside and see the jungle-like forest is thick and an ideal location for an ambush.  The druid and the others come down.  “I saw halflings in the brush.”“Halflings?”“Wearing war paint.” The druid adds.“Good.  Have not killed one of those in a while.” Says Black sands with a smile while looking at Cedious.“I will wake up and the entire trip was a bad dream except for the beautiful woman.  Everything else is unreal.” Says Cedious as he checks out the conditions outside.</blockquote>
