Peeko stood there angry and paranoid. 'If anyone travels here tonight we'll all be skinned.' Peeko grumbled. He drew a scimitar from his belt and started to cut down the burning bushes with ease. Peeko began sneezing heavily from the smoke. Moka jumped on them tring to put them out. Peeko slapped Moka in the head with the side of his scimitar. Moka fell down into the burning coals from the bushes, and his rags caught fire. Peeko started laughing histarically. Moka rolled around howling, tring to put out the fire. Eventually he ran to the river to sooth his burns.
Gorbo sat by the fire roasting a stick of meat. Gorbo could smell the roasting meat, mixed with the smoke from the smelly plants. Peeko sat there roasting a rib over the fire, cursing to himself. 'Its all Moka's fault, he ruined it.'
Gorbo couldnt wait to eat, he stuck a chunk of meat in his mouth. 'MMMMMm... this meat tastes gud, can taste that smelly plant; Moka didnt ruin.' Peeko squinted at Gorbo, 'Moka ruined chances of finding travelers tonight.' Peeko grunted, 'Gimme sum meat.' Gorbo held his food away from Peeko, 'Eat yer own' Gorbo scowled. Peeko grimiced, and picked up some of the half burnt bushes and threw them in the fire. The fire shot up, throwing many pieces of burning leaves high up in the air. Gorbo almost fell off his rock watching them fly. Peeko started cackeling for no apparent reason. 'Peeko feels different... shud feel angry at Moka.'
Gorbo grunted in agreement, 'Gorbo feels different too, me thinks its that smelly plant.' Peeko sniffed his meat and licked his lips.
Gorbo spotted Moka running through the clearing from the river. Moka arrived panting heaviliy, with a worried look on his face. Moka said rasply, 'Moka smells halflings.'
