They had been on the road to the Academy for three hours when they encountered their first obstacle. The APC slowed to a crawl as someone inside detected a trap, allowing Wolfe to get ahead again and scout the area.
There was a magically disguised pitfall trap dug into the road, completely blocking traffic but looking like a plain dirt path. To Wolfe's eyes, with his ability to see mana flows and [Detect Hidden] active, it was a huge trench dug across as if the road had been washed out, but there was no sign of flowing water here.
So, he searched the area for signs of life.
There was nothing close, but they would hear it from kilometres away if a vehicle hit that at cruising speed, so they didn't really have to be.
