Description based on situations in labeled post.
The convoy traveled on the road peacefully before dusk was approaching. The convoy stopped at a promising point on the road made by previous adventurers and merchants like, the cave that sat close to the road. The large cave was built into the mounded land and was big enough to park 5 wagons in a line. The convoys parked in a line and used the wagons as cover, just as the merchants started to get off. The lead merchant said "We are making camp here."
Angelo's party slid off the back of the wagon. "Any way we can help? I can't sit without occupying myself with something."
"Well you could set up traps or surveillance while we set up camp" the lead merchant said. The two girls stepped off the wagon. "It's quite a resting spot but nonetheless a known one. So the possibility of bandits is not out of the question."
"I suppose some surveillance could be done. I don't want to do traps. They could accidentally spring." He looked up at the cave. "Up there looks like a decent vantage point. Our team will be swapping off during the night. Be ready in case things go wrong though. You never know." He willed his book to appear in front of him and started up the hill, team in tow.
"All right" the lead merchant said as he went to instruct the others to start making food for everybody, that included the passengers and the escorts. Olivia sat near the fireplace while Ava went off somewhere, away from the cave.
When he finally made it to the top he stood triumphantly. "This is a beautiful position. Now for the matter of shifts. I'm not first cuz I need me a good recharge."
Dante spoke up. "I suppose I should take first. I'm still feeling good to go."
Angelo nodded, "I'll take second. And Ando gets third."
Dante spoke up. "I suppose I should take first. I'm still feeling good to go."
Angelo nodded, "I'll take second. And Ando gets third."
Two of the merchants went to work to start cooking up food while the lead merchant rechecked the cargoes. Large pots were out and a campfire was made. Off far, Ava was moving about tree to tree, perhaps hunting something.
Ando looked up at Angelo. "I am rather glad they didn't as further about you not setting magic traps. Though, it would be entertaining watching try to explain how they could fail in spectacular ways without ruining your credit as a mage."
"Your words hurt me, Friend." He looked out over the camp. "So quick to set up. Then again they probably do this a lot."
"Your words hurt me, Friend." He looked out over the camp. "So quick to set up. Then again they probably do this a lot."
The food were tossed in and the water as well. The pot was placed on the campfire to let it boil. Olivia took off her hood and took a relax position. Her black hair was a little long past the shoulder and let loose. She gave a little smile while watching the fire.
Angelo and Ando started down to camp as Dante sat on top of the hill to keep watch. The two sat nearby Olivia.
It took a moment before Olivia spoke, "How goes the life of adventurers?"
Before Olivia spoke, Angelo had the hood of his robes on. He didn't respond at first, but rather slumped over to the side, asleep.
Ando looked towards Angelo as he fell over. "Well he doesn't go out much anymore. As for me it's quite comfortable as long as I have competent people. I can't heal someone if they rush in and die in an instant. Luckily that hasn't happened. I first started with these two. At first they seem reckless, but there is a method to their madness, I guess. How about you? I can tell you aren't a normal traveler."

"Wandering travelers. She and I....are wandering aimlessly around the world to find things to do. To enjoy life. We haven't have a goal set in mind.Though it's been awhile since I returned home" she replied.
Ando nodded. "Maybe you should soon. Family is nice to be around every now and then. But, then again, you don't really hear of wanderers returning home."
"Hmm...maybe. I do not mind though. As long as I am with Ava, it's fine not going home" she said.
"To each their own I suppose." He looked into the fire.
"I guess" Olivia replied. Ava returned to the camp with 5 rabbits in her hand. She handed it off to the cook before sitting down right next to Olivia. She rested her head on Olivia's shoulders, "Ah~ That was tiring."
Ando laughed a little. "You should have asked sleep boy here. He has the energy to chase down nearly anything. The downfall is he would also eat most of those rabbits. He may even attempt to eat those you got. His stomach knows no bounds sometimes."
"I hope the lads have enough food" Ava said. Olivia brought her arm around Ava, "Are you guys heading to Hilo for anything other than escorting this convoy?"
