As Ko went to hide behind the tree a dizzying stench warned her of the impending doom seconds before she was about to walk knee deep in a huge pile of refuse. The druid stopped short of sinking into the stinky mound and clamped a hand over her mouth and nose. She gagged at the sight and smell of the big pile of poo. Not that Ko wasn't used to animal refuse, being raised in a forest. But that amount and the unbearable stench! There was nothing like this in her beloved forest. The thing was so foul and disgusting that somehow she knew the humungous centipede had something to do with it. [i]Ugh! You nasty creature.[/i] Kosara begrudged as she promptly stepped away from the tree and the huge dung pile, and promptly came face to face with a group of people. [i]Well, bugger![/i] She resigned herself to the failed hiding attempt and stayed put as a male woodland elf proclaimed his intentions as peaceful and showed some interest in the creature Ko had manage to best mostly with the help of the snow-white owl.

	[i]Should I answer back.[/i] She wondered as the man introduced himself as Jakyn and got busy with the centipede's corps. A half-orc also showed up and approached the bug-creature to inspect it, as it would appear. But something about the centipede affected the big half-orc drastically and he went rushing about in the bush like a mad person, shouting something about the centipede not even being real. [i]Ha! Don't know what that's about but I should keep an eye out for that one.[/i] As this thought occurred a female half-elf also approached the dead centipede. [i]Were they all travelling together?[/i] Ko wondered. [i]And did I make such a huge ruckus during the skirmish as to attract such big a group?[/i] Just than another man approached, this time a human, like herself. He seemed to imply she was bad at hiding herself, which of course was ridiculous. She [i]was[/i] a master of disguise!

	"Well... If you knew what I found [i]behind[/i] that tree, trust me, you'd promptly step out of cover just as fast." Ko said and shrugged. But hearing Jakyn speak about the voice awaiting them her ears perked up. So it was true then! They had all received the call and were heading for the tower that was visible in the distance. [i]Well... Since we are all going in the same direction, I guess there is no point in stubbornly trying to travel on my own.[/i] Ko caught up with the group and introducing herself said that she as well was here because of the call of dreams.

	"I was not raised to believe in deities..." Kosara intoned. "But I do believe one thing. Whoever or whatever sent out the call was probably desperate enough to get us to this place, since I was not able to ignore it. And I tried!"
