The group was traveling through a plain try to find a forest to set camp at. Everyone was patient with the destination.

Elizabeth: How much longer?

Well, not all of them.

Dmitry: You know what? How about you look around for a forest? Oh yeah. You can't.

Elizabeth: Hmpf.

She pouted and looked away from him. After some 30 minutes Dmitry found a place.

Dmitry: Oi! Lee! Over there!

Lee looked at the direction Dmitry was pointing and nodded.

Elizabeth: Have we arrived?

Dmitry: Indeed, we have.

He looked around the forest, it was beautiful, he even found a clear spot near a small river. He went to set a tent, a small hut if you will. When he was finished, he went to to get his musket for hunting.

Dmitry: Lee. I'm hunting, you're in charge while I'm gone. And be reasonable, please.

Lee: Oh, please I'm not going to be like that.

Dmitry: If you say so.

He then went into the woods, most of the time he didn't find anything, but he kept his patience. He then found a deer. Dmitry quickly aimed with his musket and waited for the opportunity. A bang was hear and the deer dropped dead. He went to pick it up carried it back to camp. 

Lee: A fine catch, if I do say.

Dmitry: Glad to hear it, you're cooking it.

Lee: Of course.

Dmitry: Is Elizabeth still in the wagon?

Lee: Yes she is. Jack is fishing on the river.

Dmitry: Did you at least give him some tips and a knife?

Lee: Aye.

Dmitry: Good. Elizabeth, you can get out now.

Lee: When we're talking about her, why doesn't she leave your wagon?

Dmitry: I'll tell you tomorrow at lunch.

Lee: If you say so.

Elizabeth was already exploring the small camp, Lee was cleaning the deer and Dmitry was sitting near a fire. Some time has passed and Jack hadn't returned yet.

Dmitry: Where is the river?

Lee: Over there.

Dmitry took his weapons and tried to find Jack near the riverbank, he didn't find Jack, only his fishing equipment.

Dmitry: He's fucked.

Dmitry then heard some muffled shouting, he turned to the direction of it and saw Jack tied to a tree. He quickly went to untie Jack and remove the gag from his mouth.

Jack: There-there-there everywhere!

Dmitry: Hold up. What? Who? When? Where?

Jack: They just-just jumped me and tied me here.

Dmitry: Who? Talk sense man!

???: Us.

Dmitry quickly turned around to find some Native Americans surrounding him and Jack.

Dmitry: Who, in the name of everything that's holy, are you?

???: We are just natives here. And you are in our territory.

Dmitry: You've gotta be shitting me.

???: That is correct, you are in our territory. 

A young lad said with his tomahawk pointing at them.
