Life In Vein

"Right then, I will join the twilight watch. I like an early watch as it lets me get a full nights sleep to prepare for the morning. I would think that as secrecy is our priority that we should abstain from lighting a fire tonight, which was Arkas' intent, right?" Pai adds as he tries to find a comfy spot to lay his bedroll, not having much more than his cloak to snuggle up in. Must remember to get a warm blanket next time, he thinks to himself.

Arkas, male loresong faen, akashic 2/runethane 1

[OOC: Having no campfire was Agracahn's intention, and my lack of explicit disagreement equals implicit agreement. Note that I set an earth trap, which might make some noise, but sheds no light.]

Noting Pai's discomfort, Arkas fetches a spare cloak from his baggage and lends it to him. Then he settles himself back down to bed.

Soen says, "I'll take a middle watch if no one else wants to."

He flutters to the ground to get his bedroll out.

Matz nods, considering the matter settled. He walks over to check on Urgo, to be certain his brother and his possessions are settled in and as comfortable as possible. He is glad his tough skin will remove at least some of the discomfort of the rocks, and reflects once again on the wisdom of making the Change. He whispers to Urgo for a bit, simply conversing about minor matters, then looks into his pack, and looks for the Witch Raven. "Is there aught to hunt here? Or will we be eat trail rations tonight?"

"There are some things to hunt... little rock rats and the like, very tasty they are. They might be a bit difficult, but you could try, I'm sure," the witchraven says.

*"A bit difficult" turns out to be a drastic understatement. The rock rats are elusive, and very difficult to spot. In addition, one would have to range out amongst the rocks and risk a turned or broken ankle. Perhaps it's not so hard for the witchraven, with his ability to fly, but it's nigh-impossible for you ground pounders.*

*It's on middle watch when Soen and Urgo hear a faint noise. Turning to see what it is, they sees a small creature, like an unsavory cross between a rat and a dog, leaning over Vaushi. Most horribly it seems to have a small, whip-like protrusion on its head, at the end of which is a viscious, three-fingered claw. That claw is poised over Vaushi's right eye.*

Urgo, mojh, runethane 1/akashic 2

I think I remember reading something about one of these creatures before. What was it called again?

*I move slowly to put myself between the rest of the party and it. While moving I draw my crossbow.*

[OOC: My knowledge dangerous beasts modifier is +9. My initiative modifier is +2.]

 

[Cannibal_Kender]

Soen will fly up and whip a dagger near the creature to try and scare it off.

Still asleep, Pai mumbles something about cookies and Ama, goddess of freshly baked goods and home cooked meals. Turning on his back, he begins snoring lightly, his neck proped at weird angles, unused to sleeping outside.

 

[dead_radish]

OOC: Who's awake, who's asleep at this point?

 

[Erekose13]

ooc: Soen and Urgo are the only ones awake at the moment iirc.
