Androgost

Androgost gets up and draws his sword and listens to the sounds, thinking about which way his should charge.

Boff will quietly attempt to slide out of the group and towards the northernmost voice.


Move Silent target 75 [1d100]=54
Hide in Shadows target 61 [1d100]=85


Frannie stays with the main group hefting her Lucern Hammer, but hoping that she is able to aid with spells.

In the Jotens - First Watch
First Watch Starday, 8th day of Planting, 597
3rd day since leaving Loftwick


Qleceec (AC 1, HP 48/63)
Androgost (AC -6, HP 55/65, Armor 21/26) - horse
Nah Olos (AC 4, HP 46/53)
Siouxsie (AC 2, HP 33/48) - horse
Garrant (AC 8, HP 24/50)
Hex (AC 5, HP 19/27)
Raffi (AC 6, HP 16/21)
Boff (AC 5, HP 49/61) - horse
Franny (AC 4, HP 26/26) - horse


Garrant, Hex, and Boff start the first watch, about 90 minutes into the watch the group is aware of a group of voices yelling short sounds at the camp. It is like there are four people (one at NE, NW, SW and SE) having a conversation in a language that none of you understand. The groups best guess is that they are perhaps 80' from the camp.

Hex wakes Androgost who draws his sword, but is unsure of which way to charge. Garrant thinks is a distraction, or auditory illusion to keep the group awake.

Boff (I guess) wakes up Franny who grabs her hammer and Boff heads off towards one of the two northern voices in a sneaky fashion

Qleceec, Nah Olos and Raffi wake up with all the commotion, but Siouxsie sleeps through it (sounds like an inside joke is forming here). The noises get loud enough that Siouxsie will wake the next round.

Rolls Clarified the post.

Boff does the sneaking. Franny stays with the main party.

Siouxsie

"Wake up, little Siouxsie, wake up!
Wake up, little Siouxsie, wake up!
We've both been sound asleep
Wake up, little Siouxsie and weep.
The night is over, it's four o'clock
And we're in trouble deep!
Wake up, little Siouxsie
Wake up, little Siouxsie!"


Dreams of a couple of bards she heard singing a while ago.

Qleceec

Makes sure Siouxsie is awake. then she prepares for combat. Weapons in front of her in easy reach, puts her armor on then sets herself with weapons.

Nah Olos gets up, loads his crossbow, and grabs his bastard sword. The he looks around to see if he can spot anyone outside the camp

Hex and Raffi will try and climb some trees, some 6 or 7 feet or so, if there are any easily climbable.

If not, the halfling will attempt to hide in shadows behind a thick trunk, whilst Hex will prepare his wand and find some cover from the most directions he can.

In the Jotens - First Watch
First Watch Starday, 8th day of Planting, 597
3rd day since leaving Loftwick


Qleceec (AC 1, HP 48/63)
Androgost (AC -6, HP 55/65, Armor 21/26) - horse
Nah Olos (AC 4, HP 46/53)
Siouxsie (AC 2, HP 33/48) - horse

Hex (AC 5, HP 19/27)
Raffi (AC 6, HP 16/21)
Boff (AC 5, HP 49/61) - horse
Franny (AC 4, HP 26/26) - horse


Everyone starts to move around, Nah Olos loads his crossbow, Qleceec wakes up Siouxsie and starts putting on her armor. The halfling looks for some trees, but the group stayed in a cleared near some big rocks so he hides there.

Boff returns to tell the group that the sounds are coming from flying creatures.

Then as suddenly as the sounds started, they stop. The quiet of the outdoors returns with the main noise being the rustling of your group doing various activities around the campfire.

Everyone is awake.

Hex shrugs from his hiding spot.

Take cover if we can, and wait to see what appears. We don’t want to be far from each other so we can fight back to back if it’s safe, but we don’t want to bunch up straight away in case there’s a large area attack that whatever is coming can manifest.

Qleceec will see about finding some cover among the rocks to wait it out.

In the Jotens - First Watch
First Watch Starday, 8th day of Planting, 597

Qleceec (AC 1, HP 48/63)
Androgost (AC -6, HP 55/65, Armor 21/26) - horse

Franny (AC 4, HP 26/26) - horse


The members of party take cover in various ways, three minutes later there is no change. No attacks, no more calls.

Androgost says "I am going to do a quick sweep - anyone that wishes to come with me can.". He proceeds to put on his armor (which will take close to a turn).

Qleceec

Assuming she in her armor as she put it on in a previous post.

Qleceec will accompany Androgost on the sweep.

Garrant

The wizard casts infravision and does a brief scan around the outskirts of the camp for any approaching enemy.

"I still feel this simply a distraction to keep us awake. If they were going to attack with area affects then it would make for them to do it by surprise, not to warn us in advance."

"Agreed Garrant. But I think it best we still do a sweep and make sure."

In the Jotens - First Watch
First Watch Starday, 8th day of Planting, 597

Qleceec (AC 1, HP 48/63)
Androgost (AC -6, HP 55/65, Armor 21/26) - horse
Nah Olos (AC 4, HP 46/53)

Boff (AC 5, HP 49/61) - horse
Franny (AC 4, HP 26/26) - horse


Garrant casts an Infravision spell, and while making sure to look away from the crackling fire he does not see nor hear anyone moving the 60' range of his magical sight.

Qleceec and Androgost all armored up and with a torch they do two circles around the camp one at an approximately 50' radius (and in sight of Garrant) and then another at 100' radius. Neither loop reveals anything notable (including fresh tracks). When the two fighters return to the camp, it is estimated that first watch has another 30-40 minutes remaining.
