Caelis decided to keep the chest of riches... while it wasn't food. There were those in the world who valued gold more than life. It would be useful in bartering in the future. However... the group would have to make sure that they could not be tracked. Thus, the men started to work on covering their tracks and refilling the hole that was dug up. It would, without a doubt, take those men a long while to dig the hole again only to find the hole empty and they would have not much of a trail to follow. Caelis looked at the bones of the boar once more... perhaps... he could help the spirit get a bit more revenge. He gathered the bones gingerly and placed them in the bottom of the hole. Then the bones were promptly buried. If the men were determined, then all they would find would be the bones of the boar, taunting them.

To give the boar a proper burial, Caelis gave a small prayer and thanks to the spirit for guiding them all the way here, and prayed that it would be at peace. With the evidence all erased or buried, Caelis and the elves would begin their long journey back to their camp.

Back at the camp, the Attolians had made some substantial progress in befriending the herd. While they were still not allowed to touch their young, the mothers and females were generally friendly to them as well. Thus, the Attolians began to celebrate their accomplishments in the "Communion". The Communion was a roughly monthly festival of sorts where the elves would gather in the center of the camp and participate in mass fasting, meditation, and learning for a day to tune into and improve their magical and spiritual abilities. At nightfall, the "Communion" would end and there would be a hearty feast where the elves would share their breakthroughs and enlightenment. It was rather common to see debates on magic theory and philosophy during the feast, and unofficially, the ability to hold one's own in the debates was used as means of determining if an elf had fully matured into an adult. After all, physical age is just a number to the elves. But wisdom is respected.

Summary:
Caelis' party takes the chest and wealth with them. But they first remove any trace of them being around the area and give the boar a proper burial before they begin the journey back home.

Improve Culture and Technology: Back at the camp, the folk elves prepare for a Communion where they spend an entire day in mass meditation and fasting. At sunset, the fast ends and the elves celebrate with a feast and enlightening conversations/debates about magic/philosophy/spirituality/anything that they realized during meditation.
