When night falls, Ellar locates a large bushy tree with broad branches and quickly scales it. He eats and drinks from his rations, and then uses his silk rope to rig up a sling from one of the branches a middling distance up the tree.
Keeping a careful eye out, Ellar attaches his stone of alarm to the tree trunk, behind a large leaf where it won't be seen. He returns to his sling and settles in for the night.
[To Arknath: will small non-intelligent animals set off the alarm? If they do, Ellar will know this and will not place the stone of alarm]

"Do you mind if I don't help with watches tonight, cousins?" Zykovian wearily asks. "I think I'll just rest against this tree for a few moments . . ."
My training prepared my mind and my sword arm for this journey, it just forgot the rest of my body, Zykovian thought as he found the nearest place to sit down. Almost immediately after sitting and leaning against the tree (packs and gear still in place on him), Zykovian is asleep.

Felkhourn will climb a tree opposite of the area Ellar is at and watch up there. She will have half of the food from her ration, and save the rest for later, before she sleeps.
When she is done eating, she will grab her bow and position herself accordingly, keeping watch over the area in her parameter. She will occasionally drift her eyes to the sky.

Ulysses calls to Margo. "Can you find my cousin Ellar? If he's around here we might want to contact him." He approaches Zyrial & Felkhourn. "I have an invisibility spell. Would you be interested in sneaking off invisibly & making some bird calls to see if you can contact Ellar? He doesn't know what's going on with us & we need to make sure he's alright. I've asked Margo to find him. If she can, perhaps she could lead you to him."

Zyrial looks at his cousin and thinks for a moment. "Ellar is close by as he always is at home. You know what he's like. sneaky little bugger. I will however take that invisability spell. I can scout out the area and maybe find some food for us outside of our rations."

"OK. Let's pretend to be scouting out the area a little. Felkhourn, you stay here & try your best to explain that to the catmen if you can. I'll return shortly."
Ulysses & Zyrial walk away from the camp. As soon as they seem out of sight of catmen (Ulysses looks around in the trees as well, since he knows several are out there keeping watch), he'll cast his invisibility spell on Zyrial, then return to camp. He'll tell Zyrial it will last 50 minutes.

Ellar: No, they will not. Frequently in your home do you have to use these types of devices and your people appreciate the natural world and have figured out a way to make the stones movement and alignment based. Evil alignments set it off automatically, but evil intentions take one round to set it off. Movement is noted each time, but only mentally.
Felkhourn: The night is very serene, almost dreamlike. The sounds of the forest and the creatures that live within it sound just like home. Which you are reminded of as you sit in the trees.
Ulysses and Zyrial: You have no problem "sneaking" away. In fact, you become aware that many of the catmen are aware of your leaving and do nothing to stop you. It seems with your actions today in battle, you have gained some small level of respect and trust.
Zyrial: You find many different types of trees and several familiar forest creatures. The night is relatively quiet and you don't seem to find anything different that stands out in your mind as far as landscape goes. You do here the sound of water the more you travel in a western direction, but you safely assume that it is the same stream that your party made camp near. Other than that, you feel a feeling of calm.

Ulysses will return to camp & eat some food. He approaches Felkhourn. "Do you think we need to set a watch? I suspect the catmen will do that. Margo is eating bugs (assuming she finds some). I feel like this place is enough like home that I don't worry about her in that regard."
