Throw rocks to distract them #51

Let’s see if we can stir up some paranoia, you grin to yourself.
Getting some distance, you feel through the leaves and gather a few stones and a couple pieces of wood.
Tossing the heaviest stone towards camp, you can see the soldier by the fire jump.
Oh yeah—that startled him!
The soldier calls to his comrades and looks out towards the area of darkness, where the rock landed. You know he can’t see anything—especially after staring too long into the fire.
But that’s the point…to use the unseen.
The other two soldiers dash to the edge of the camp, their swords drawn.
Another well-placed rock nearby makes them all jump…and the game is on.
