Lying In Wait For Thebius

With precision, Thebius stopped every ten minutes on the route
To put some garlic into the road, shaking it into a symbol 
That would thwart any demons following him,
So they would lose their way
Unfortunately for him, they had all gone ahead
And were waiting at the bend right before his next stop.
