Larry 23/23

It was amazing. He watched as his hands became foreign tools, and his clothes change even as they remained on his body.

"This is indeed new magic to me! Why...I had once been turned into a small furry rodent in the early days of this game world, but it was different than this. I feel the exact same as I did before, but I know that I am not! It is a strange magic you weave, Joseph...strange, but very beneficial."

He thinks for a moment.

"Ah yes...before my fall into the shadow self, I had been an accomplished ranger. I knew how to find great camping areas of security and convenience. Let me see...."

Larry looks about, and knowing that his new life was that only of a ranger at his beginning of experiencing the world, he doubted that he would have retained the know-how on finding suitable cover. There was another way. It would mean delving deep into his memories and hoping to avoid any dark shadows that lay there in the way. He might also run the risk of bumping into the Mage that he once was while there, and having another conflict of internal personalities. All of this would be to do nothing more than locate a place within the woods in order to camp appropriately. It was not worth it. He did not even know how this Joseph would take to any...accidents...that might occur along the mental journey. He decided then that he'd just go along with his new knowledge base.

"Well...I would rather not not remember my old life at this time. I am sure that I am capable of basic forestry work such as this. Let's go."

Larry led the way off of the path and into a thicket of wood. He observed a cold stream that was running away from the mountains looming in the distance and decided that this would be great. He followed it upstream for a ways until he found an area that seemed built by nature to be the spot for a travelling company to desire for camping.

"This is the place. We have the noise of the stream to mask our mundane sounds, and water close by to douse out the fire if danger is nearing. That small hill there is just high enough to not be affected by the stream's laughter, so it would serve well as a lookout. A physical gesture or even a stone tossed into the camp from there would be easy to alert the other if anything was spotted, yet as you see the woods provide a decent mask of the hill, so that one can see down better than one can see up, unless you were specifically wanting to be seen.

Will this suffice, Joseph?"

OOC>>>Remember that this campground was chosen by a man who is a level 1 ranger at this time.
