(That works)<br/><br/>He nods, having not been paying attention to the distances and the time, and says, "Right, Maura, think you can find a nice area to hide for the night? Sorry about taking leader position, but with everyone panicking, I intend to do what I have to to keep you three alive.<br/><br/>Cerulean, you keep an eye behind us, no sense in letting that camp send a group to relieve the watch that nearly ambushed us, and they blunder into us.<br/><br/>Daminor, you can panic, the rest of us have this under control for the moment."<br/><br/>He gave the bard a grin to let him know he was playing, and then let the girls do their jobs. Once Maura finds a spot to camp for the night, Draiss pulls out a small bag of chalk, and says, "Setting up a ward, so last chance to take a walk. Once this is up, you will NOT be getting back into the camp until I take the ward down."<br/><br/>He had set up the rope to the mansion, so the others could climb up, while he put his ward up. Anything trying to cross the ward would suddenly 'remember' something they urgently needed to do, and in the opposite direction. After a minute of moving away, they would 'forget' again, and then keep moving, but this time instinctively avoiding the warded area. A good mage would still spot it before it was triggered, but no one else could, as the chalk would vanish as his magic coursed through it.
