Message: <blockquote data-quote="DEFCON 1" data-source="post: 1985306" data-attributes="member: 7006">OOC:  The walking figure circles the edges of the campfire's light.  If we assume a 30' radius for firelight (same as a torch), then the walking figure is always 30' out from the center of the camp.  Any attempt to get at him WITHOUT getting him to move into the shadowy area away from the camp's edge will probably result in the other two awake figures hearing you do it.  You suspect you'd need to be AMAZINGLY quiet to pull off an attack like that.  Of course if you could draw him AWAY from the camp's edge and into the shadowy areas outside of the firelight, then obviously it would be easier to knock him out without anyone hearing you.**********Kolarred and Tomanta remain at the top of the hill, having lost any sight or sound of the changeling and gnoll.  The four horses stand quietly, breathing a bit heavily.  Kolarred can tell ((Handle Animal [12] + 7 = 19 / DC 10)) that the horses really need to rest for the night and shouldn't be pushed too much further (if at all).Zook changes his appearance into a Human form and slinks even closer to camp (trying to time it such that the walking guard is on the far side of the campfire when he does).  Zook inches forward...inches forward...inches forward...3 guards ((Listen [14] + 2 = 16))Zook ((Move Silently [16] + 9 = 25))...and gets right at the edge of the campsite hidden behind a bush.  None of the three guards who are awake have made any indication they have heard him, and he gets a very good view of the figures in camp.Zook:[spoiler] The walking figure appears to be a hobgoblin... short sword on his belt, cloak covering what looks to be leather armor.  The sitting figure at the left campfire is either an orc or a half-orc (probably half), and he also wears what looks to be leather armor.  No weapon is visable on him.  The third figure at the right campfire is human and wears a very expensive-looking traveller's outfit and has an intricate fencing sword and dagger on his belt.  You also see what you think is a guitar-like instrument next to him on the log.  Of the figures that are sleeping... the ones whose faces are lit by the fire and facing you appear to be mainly green-skinned (and thus probably of the orcish or goblin variety) but you suspect another human or two might be amongst them.Finally, you also see a symbol that appears printed on many items strewn about the camp (as well as on a small banner).  The symbol is of a an yellow grasping eagle's talon on a black or dark blue background.  You have never seen that symbol before.[/spoiler]</blockquote>
