Here's the general lay of the land a round the cabin. There are three beds of low quality that were inside of the cabin, as well as a wood stove (ne end) and a skinning table (se end). After most of the group beds down and only Larian and Tyrla are awake, the rain starts. It's fairly soft, nothing like the night at Vraath.

OOC: I suppose we want to tether the horses in the trees as close to the cabin as is practical, under the cover of the trees, since we can't fit them inside the actual shelter. We can have those sleeping stay in the inner room, and those on watch in the front room by the door, with occasional trips out to check the horses. Since we won't be able to totally hide the fact that we're there, we may want to pretend we are a far smaller group, possibly displaced refugees. At this point, though, I think we probably ought to assume that any "visitors' that show up are probably bad guys...
IC: Tyrla stayed near the door, occasionally peering out to where the horses were tethered in the trees. They had piled what pitiful furniture remained outside, heaped up near the horses to look like the remnants of a fleeing families possessions- even though the enemy scouts would be easily able to tell the cabin was inhabited, such subterfuge might be enough to conceal their true strength. With any luck, the evening would pass quietly- but these woods were hostile territory now...

Pender, Male Human Fighter 6
As the party beds down for the night, Pender opens up a bit to his new companions. "You know, I am really excited about finally making it to Rhest. As a kid, I was fascinated by my uncle's tales of old Rhestilor, and it has always been a goal of mine to see the ruins at Rhest. In fact, my friends and I were on our way to Rhest when we were ambushed and I was taken prisoner." Pender stares at the ceiling from his bed for a few minutes, listening to the peaceful drip, drop of the rain on the roof of the cabin. "Although I miss my friends terribly, I am glad to call the lot of you my friends now. And I am glad we travel to Rhest together."

Those of you with listen checks at or greater than 10 and considered asleep awaken to an unfamiliar sound outside.
Those of you with a 20 that were asleep, or those with a 10 that were awake can identify this as being a spell being cast not more than a few feet beyond the walls of the small building.
(The spellcasting sound and some movements you can't see from inside count as the surprise round here. We are now at the 1st regular round.)

Warren the halfling, 39/39 HP, AC 18 unarmored
As soon as Warren awakens to the sound of something besides snoozing comrades, he instinctively snatches the sword from his sheathe, lying next to him in the bedroll. He slips out of the bedroll and stands up, as quietly as he can, and avoids standing high enough to be easily seen through any windows.

The shack seemed as good a solution as any. Avril spent the last remnants of daylight looking after the horses, letting the others take care of hiding their resting place for the night. She glanced at the rubbish strewn around the horses with a frown, wondering if the animals would get hurt by all this during the night. Shifting one or two more items away, she retired for the evening, leaving Tyrla and Larian to look after the guard duties.
The sounds brought her to wakefullness almost instantly. She'd slept extremely lightly during the night, and the spellcasting was unmistakable. Mandla had heard it as well, although the strong dog had not might a sound, only pricking its ears at the sound. Jumping up to her feet, she quietly commanded Mandla to defend her, while she cast a spell of her own to give both her and the dog some additional defense.
[SBLOCK=OOC]
OOC: Avril gets to her feet, commands Mandla to defend her (Handle Animal +13 vs DC 10), and casts Barkskin on herself, sharing it with Mandla. Mandla defends Avril. I'm assuming they'll both in the chamber with the three 'beds', so place them around J/K 10.
Spells and Abilities Active:
Barkskin (Avril, Mandla, 60 minutes)
Spells Cast and Abilities/Items Used:
Enrage Animal
Cure Light Wounds
Barkskin

Larian starts in surprise. How did anyone get close enough for him to hear a spell being cast without his elven eyes spotting them? Too late for the how to matter, the transmuter starts working on the what. He grabs his new wand and looks out through the doorway in the direction of the sounds.
