Sebastian reached into his bag of tricks once more and pulled out a hatchet. The blade was so sharp it could easily cut the whiskers of a cat. The madman began to repeatedly dig the hatchet into a tree and with a simple shove he sent the tree crashing to the ground. With a big thud the tree collided with the dirt road blocking it off to anyone who tried to take this road. We descended back into the forest and using our magic created a shelter out of leaves and sticks that would suffice for a couple
