"We have two arcane spellcasters, and we both need a full 8 hours of sleep. We'll have to manage tonight's watch order carefully."
Gamble begins counting off on his fingers as they walk, "There are four of us, and Nyra can guard us as well, so that makes for five watches, maybe with a few doubled up. Arcane casters need to sleep at the beginning and end in order to avoid interruptions. Here is what I recommend:
11:00 PM - 1:00 AM: Keep Watch (Lissa), Rest (Snaggle, Gamble, Joseph, Nyra)
1:00 AM - 4:00 AM: Keep Watch (Joseph), Rest (Snaggle, Gamble, Lissa, Nyra)
4:00 AM - 5:00 AM: Keep Watch (Gamble), Rest (Snaggle, Joseph, Lissa, Nyra)
5:00 AM - 6:00 AM: Keep Watch (Gamble), Prepare Spells (Lissa), Rest (Snaggle, Joseph, Nyra)
6:00 AM - 7:00 AM: Keep Watch (Gamble, Lissa), Rest (Snaggle, Joseph, Nyra)
7:00 AM - 7:15 AM: Keep Watch (Nyra), Break Camp (Lissa, Joseph), Prepare Spells (Gamble, Snaggle)[/sblock]
Before the group gets too much further, and well before night falls, Gamble will exercise a bit more caution, ceasing his musical antics and pulling out and loading his crossbow. Near dusk, just before normal light gives way to dim light, he will cast light on his weapon and sustain the spell every 10 minutes.

- Lissa has Nyra guard at the start of the watch. Snaggle and Nyra keep watch for 3 hours, then Snaggle wakes up Lissa so that she can tell her lion to stop guarding, and both Snaggle and Nyra can rest for 8 hours;
- Lissa rests for 3 hours, keeps watch for 2 hours, wakes up Joseph, and then rests for 4 more hours before getting up to prepare spells;
- Joseph rests for 5 hours, keeps watch for 3 hours, and wakes up me before resting 3 more hours;
- I rest for 8 hours, keep watch for 1 hour before waking Lissa up an hour before dawn, and keep watch during the final 2 hours with the halfing as she prepares her spells;
- Lissa and I wake up the others, and me and the sorcerer prepare our spells."

Joseph looks around and starts whistling, though not as well as Gamble could.

Broken Glade, 16 Miles South of Kassen, Southern Fangwood, Nirmathas
Night has long since fallen, and the new moon combined with the overcast sky makes the woods pitch black. Only Gamble's light keeps the darkness at bay.
[sblock=DC 5 Perception]After the sun sets, you begin to hear howling off in the distance.[/sblock]
You come to the fork in the road in the area marked Broken Glade on the map. Tomorrow's journey will take you down the left fork, south towards the crypt. Tonight, however, you decide to stop and camp for the night after having already traveled a full 8 hours.
Despite a bit of fumbling, Lissa is still capable of putting together a suitable camp. She has chosen a relatively safe spot, well off from the road, and concealed on all four sides. Though the site doesn't offer much cover from the wind or the inevitable rain, the ground is level, firm, and free of roots and leaves.
There is plenty of dry wood (for now) to start a fire, and Joseph brings back an armload of tinder, kindling, and logs. Under the watchful eye of Lissa, he builds a warm and welcoming fire with his flint and steel and the firewood. The fire gives off light like a torch as long as it is tended, and Joseph has collected enough wood to last 10 hours. You set up the two tents on opposite sides of the fire before sitting down to eat.
If everyone contributes, one of the rations can be cooked into a fine stew (by putting heated stones into the waterskins, and adding the contents of the trail rations; Lissa can even contribute some mushrooms for added flavor). The meat and cheese from another ration can be given to Nyra. Finally, you remember that you have the bottle of brandy, if you choose to pass it around.

Joseph will help with the food preparation as needed. "If anyone wants some of that booze I have it around here somewhere." Joseph will not drink any of it but won't try to stop the others.

"I'll take some of that," says Gamble eagerly. He thoroughly enjoys the stew, and is more than happy to wash it down with some fine brandy. He takes care to limit his alcohol intake, however, as he would like to avoid waking up hungover two mornings in a row. After dinner he takes a few minutes to play a low, mournful dirge on his harmonica.
After having set up the tent he'll be sharing with Snaggle, Gamble prepares to take to it first, while the kobold is on watch. He unloads his crossbow, but sets it and the bolts aside inside the tent, well within reach. He removes his armor, shield, and sandals, and stores them at the head of the tent. Taking a long scarf from his entertainer's clothing, he carefully wraps his harmonica, dagger, flint and steel, and coin purse together, and places the package with his armor. He props up his spell pouch inside the tent at a place he can access quickly.
"Joseph, I think I'd like to take one of those blankets, if you don't mind." After retrieving a winter blanket, the gnome lays it out on the ground beneath the tent, with the intention of sleeping on top of half and wrapping the other half up and over him. To make a pillow, Gamble removes his shirt and vest and rolls them into a soft ball. "Goodnight, all." He closes the tent flap to shut out the light of the campfire. Once he is down and comfortable, the bard slips into sleep moments after shutting his eyes.

Lissa removes the gear from Nyra's back and prepares her sleeping space by digging a small trench complete with a runoff towards the forest around her gear with enough room for both herself and Nyra beside it. After eating and making sure Nyra is fed she whispers, "guard," in Nyra's ear. She then claims a blanket and after taking off her armor climbs into her bedroll pulling the blanket over herself and her gear to keep the worst of the weather off and falls asleep.
