Acheron

heading for the market, Acheron goes to purchase some additional trail rations for the journey.

20 days worth, 10gp

[Crixx]

Stephan

Seeing that Acheron just needed to buy some food, and satisfied with his own food store, Stephan goes to the north gates and waits anxiously for the others to join him for their journey. He paces back and forth, causing the general public to leave a wide area around him empty.

[tmyers09]

Firmly convinced he and the giant are going to be friends, Micheal Derving skips after Stephan.

[oyRareingir]

Acheron

Acheron heads to the gate and awaits the others. He shifts about from foot to foot fingering his sword, moving his gaze from the low sun and the gate.

[Bearclaw]

Elsewhere around the city, citizens are going about their business. Some even notice the medals on a half-Orc and a platapus. One Dwarf goes up to Caesus and El Pato and says in a concerned voice, "excuse me Saviors, but I have watched you wander around for some time now. Do you need directions to where ever you are going?"

[Iudex]

Caesus, still somewhat suspicious of dwarves and their agendas, politely turns down the citizen's offer, then wanders off to buy 10 days worth of trail rations.

Caesus then meets up with the others at the gate.

[Bearclaw]

The sun is now quite low. The once brilliant red and orange sunset is now dark red. The five adventurers are currently only four. El Pato is not waiting at the gate and all the shops have closed.

If you are at the gate and looking around for El Pato, roll a perception check.

I'm here, sorry, I forgot. I'm in the bushes eating bugs. Ready to go.

[tmyers09]

Micheal Derving points at El Pato and honks HA! BUG EATER! BUG EATER! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHA!!!!!!!!

[Crixx]

Stephan

Noticing that the gnome has found El Pato, Stephan looks the group over quickly then says "We need be away from city before camp, let us go."

[Bearclaw]

You leave Neotross on the road to Sess. It is 9:00 when you find a beautiful place for camping.

Is it camping until morning time?

[Crixx]

Stephan

Once they get the camp set up Stephan makes a suggestion: "We should keep watch for things in night. If each take watch over hour but less than two, we will be safe and rested. I take first watch."

[oyRareingir]

Acheron

acheron agrees to take the second shift.

[Iudex]

"Sounds good. It's been a long day, time to log off."

as soon as all 5 shifts are accounted for, things can progress.

[tmyers09]

"I'll take the second shift as well! And I will keep you safe my dear Goliath!" Micheal Derving says dashingly.

[SpaceHamster15]

El Pato communes with lots of little wispy spirit guys, who then make a cozy campsite for the group.

Casting Create Campsite

You summon hundreds of diminutive nature spirits to
assemble a campsite in a 5-square radius around you. The
spirits clear the area, set up tents, unroll bedrolls, gather
water, and prepare a nourishing meal. They also conceal
the campsite, with your Nature check result serving as the
DC for Perception checks to notice the hidden camp.
The spirits utilize your and your allies’ gear to make the
campsite. If you and your allies lack the appropriate gear,
the spirits gather raw materials from the environment to
make the campsite.
At the end of the ritual’s duration, the spirits break
down the campsite, pack up your gear, and restore the
site to its original state, removing evidence that you and
your allies camped there.

Nature check result: 16

[tmyers09]

Realizing he says things without thinking about them finds his statement very out of place and corrects himself, "That dirty goliath can take care of himself! I will take the fifth shift!"

[Bearclaw]

Your belly is content after a hearty meal from the nature spirits. Four adventurers go to sleep as Stephan takes watch. The night is a clear night with many stars visible. A few shooting stars fly overhead. All goes smashingly while Stephan and Acheron are keeping watch. Acheron goes to sleep after his shift and nobody wakes up to continue the watch. Almost two hours after Acheron goes to sleep, trouble ensues. A hunting pack of fiendish monsters finds the camp and swarms the adventurers. These beasts have large, bloody teeth. One carries a greatclub with teeth on it and three more have spiked gauntlets of bone. The five adventurers awake to the sounds of snarling and the loud trudging of the largest beast.
