"Today, our strategies will be focused on subterfuge," Arthur called, as soon as everyone had gathered. "There may be times when we are best served by creating an ambush. Today, we'll be taking our first steps to put one of those together. For the sake of ease, we will be focusing on the preserve."

He nodded at the treeline none too far away from them. "I want half of you to go into the woods and find good locations to hide. The treetops, for those of you thusly inclined, and holes, bushes and the like for those of you who aren't. The rest of you will go in after them to find their hiding places before they can ambush you. Both of these skills will be necessary. With any luck, we can graduate to the town next time."

"Those of you who wish to discuss last week's escape routes can come to Leto, Zack or myself, and we'll share your findings next week. Likewise for those of you in need of combat training. You know where we are."

He crossed his arms. "Well, what are you waiting for?"

Worf took the opportunity to climb one of the larger trees in the forest and took refuge within the foliage. This allowed him a good deal of cover as well as a good vantage point.

Ben, taking his cue from the Force, walked toward the tree Worf was in, using other trees to hide his approach.

Worf listened carefully for anyone approaching. Not spying anyone in particular, he pulled out his tri-corder to monitor for any approaching life signs.

Ben noticed the technology being pulled out, reached into the Force and tried to short-circuit the device.

The tri-corder puked out of message about being out of cheese before it shut itself down.

Worf stared at the device. If he could he'd snarl something and throw it.

But he's in ambush mode. Curses.

Ben smothered a grin at the wave of annoyance he felt, then reached out and flicked at Worf's ear through the Force. He was very grateful for the relative safety he had being 1) on the ground and 2) hidden behind a bush.

Worf slapped at his ear. Was that a bug that did that?

No doubt there were even more waves of annoyance coming from Worf at this point.

Snickering would be an extremely stupid thing to do at this moment, so Ben smothered the instinct.

Instead he used the Force to try to wiggle the tree branch Worf was sitting on--a silent "gotcha."

Worf frowned. What was wrong with this limb? It should be able to support his weight.

Sighing, Worf slowly began to move to another vantage point just a tad bit higher.

"Boo," Ben said, waving from below.

Worf looked down and scowled. "I had thought I had hidden myself better," he said grumpily.

"Jedi are seldom welcome in games of hide and seek," Ben said with a smile. "You're very well hidden. I can just find you."

"I see," Worf said as he jumped down from the tree. "Were you also responsible for the branch moving?"

Ben nodded. "I wanted to see how you'd react."

"I see," Worf said with a frown. "And is it what you expected?"

"You were a lot more composed than most people," Ben said.
