None visible. It’s an old wreck, and perhaps the name was worn away. But that one, the newer one.... The Sea Devil? Sea Demon? Something of that sort.”Toward evening, a colorful parrot flies up from the forest, then spirals down to approach the group. “All is well at the camp,” it says, in a perfect imitation of Dartmoor’s voice. “All is well! All is well! All is well!” The bird takes off again, still repeating the phrase as it flies away.With plenty of daylight left, the group sets up a temporary camp for spending the night on the hill. Unfortunately, without the expertise of the Irregulars and Sasha, the shelter is not all that could be desired, and the adventurers get little rest owing to the constant irritant of biting insects. The night otherwise passes uneventfully, save that Kane, while on watch, sees something large flying overhead during the night. He recalls Dartmoor’s mentioning a dragon once or twice, but it is impossible to tell what manner of creature the flier might be--the only clue to its shape is the brief absence of stars as it passes overhead.The night is otherwise uneventful, however unpleasant. Perhaps because nobody manages to sleep uninterruptedly, there are no nightmares.Day 5As the first rays of sunlight peek out on the horizon, between the two spires, the adventurers move this way and that, looking for exactly the right vantage point. Soon, everyone finds themselves converging on one spot. The view is uncannily perfect--the picture might have been drawn this very instant, by some unseen observer. This must surely be the place.[sblock=Nature and Endurance checks]I made a group Nature check for everyone to determine how the camping went (which failed) followed by individual Endurance checks to determine the consequences.<a href="http://dice.brainclouds.net/Result.aspx?ID=V4BWYP7E" target="_blank">Nature checks for Black Fox; Castile; Kane; Noriaki; Takahaan</a><a href="http://dice.brainclouds.net/Result.aspx?ID=V4BWYP7E" target="_blank">19(1d20) +7 = 26; 9(1d20) +3 = 12; 1(1d20) +8 = 9; 18(1d20) +1 = 19; 5(1d20) = 5</a><a href="http://dice.brainclouds.net/Result.aspx?ID=43DY7DCK" target="_blank">Endurance checks for Black Fox; Castile; Kane; Noriaki; Takahaan</a><a href="http://dice.brainclouds.net/Result.aspx?ID=43DY7DCK" target="_blank">15(1d20) +5 = 20; 7(1d20) +9 = 16; 19(1d20) +3 = 22; 8(1d20) +6 = 14; 9(1d20) +6 = 15</a>All succeeded on at least a moderate DC; Hú Lí and Kane succeeded on a Hard DC. Castile, Noriaki, and Takahaan start Day 5 down one surge from normal. Hú Lí and Kane have no penalty, despite the unpleasant conditions.[/sblock]</blockquote>
