"Hmm, the hides are worthless," Lissa responds, "tomorrow I'll be able to purify them and create the water we need. Joseph, Nyra and I need your help we should drag them off a short ways to divest them of their innards then hang them from the trees near camp to bleed out properly before we go back to bed." She says this as she pulls rope out of the packs and rigs a crude harness for Nyra to drag the wolves with. She glances over her shoulder as she ties the loose end of the rope to the paws of the first wolf and explains, "scavengers will be attracted by their smell, we want to give them what they come for without inviting them into our camp. Or we might end up with lots of meat and no sleep."

"Well... I'm glad we have an expert in the group," says Gamble with a look of revulsion. "Anyways, I'll be in the tent. Please wake me when it's my turn at watch." Gamble retires with much the same preparations he made before, except this time he keeps his crossbow loaded and continues to wear his spell component pouch.

"That sounds fine by me," Joseph says as he retrieves one of his daggers from his gear. "Let's hang 'em up over there so if anything comes from them into the camp they will have to cross some traps." Joseph points to the northwest a little piece. "There's no need to bother Nyra with this, she already did her part. Just help me tie this rope to their feet and we can get this done."

Broken Glade, 16 Miles South of Kassen, Southern Fangwood, Nirmathas
After cleaning and hanging the wolves, you are able to return to the campfire to rest. Over the course of the night, your watch proceeds according to your plan, and each is uneventful.
At around 4:00 in the morning, the sky finally opens up and a light drizzle begins, before opening up into a stronger downpour. Without some effort, you lose your campfire, and anyone out in the rain, whether on watch or just sleeping, becomes drenched. Rivulets of water pour down the wolf carcasses and into a puddle beneath the trees they hang in, cleansing them, but also drenching their hides.
Though you never really see the sun come out, eventually it grows light enough that you feel you can resume your journey. The rain makes it impossible to prepare spells without entering a tent, which delays you breaking camp. Between the fight last night, the wolf carcasses, and the delays this morning, it is almost 9:00 AM before you can continue your journey through the Fangwood. The rain shows little sign of letting up.

As camp breaks up Joseph settles his pack back on and flexes in his armor to get it to lay right. He makes sure that his sword draw is not obstructed and checks it over one last time for nicks after having resharpened it while standing watch last night. He then puts on his heavy cloak and pulls his wide brimmed hat down over his eyes to keep the rain out. "So, about those wolves? Also, we might as well walk all day to get closer to the crypt. I wonder if this weather will hold."

The first thing Snaggle does in the morning is meditate to recharge his spells; he then dons his apron and collects his caltrops for reuse. Snaggle is unfazed by the heavy rain. He doesn't have hair or clothing that can become waterlogged, and his leather apron keeps his tools dry.

Gamble is annoyed to no end that his entire watch takes place in the rain, but since he set the watch schedule, it is tough to complain. He finds that the winter blanket is of no help as a tarp (and he may in fact have ruined it), so he sits in the entrance of the tent to get as much shelter as he can, using the first 15 minutes of the watch to prepare his spells. At least his stuff is safe at the back of the tent (except his crossbow and spell component pouch, which he tries to shield from the rain). After the fire goes out, Gamble spends the next three hours casting light every ten minutes. In the interim, he fills each of the empty waterskins with rainwater, which he presents to the others when they awake. He is very happy when it finally brightens up, and everyone packs up to leave.
As he and his friends prepare to move on, he puts his buckler on, readies his crossbow, and makes sure the contents of his spell component pouch are secure from the weather. As before, he takes up a spot just behind Joseph.

Lissa doesn't mind the rain, but does send Nyra into the tent to sleep with Snaggle with her gear when she takes her turn at watch so that she will merely be damp when her saddle is put on. She prepares herself for the coming day in the predawn hours by pulling her armor into place and recharging her spells and cantrips. Once the others rise and begin their own preparations Lissa saddles Nyra and stores her gear. She then uses one of the tents to make a primitive lean-to under which she tries to restart a fire. "Lower the wolves down and I'll purify them. Then I suggest letting Nyra eat her fill of one of them off to the side. However unless we manage a fire the other two cannot be cooked, and carrying raw meat is a messy proposition," She glances at her companions with amusement noting their readiness to march off into the rain and continues, "I also believe marching on an empty stomach tends to be highly inefficient and uncomfortable. Especially when it's unnecessary." She gestures to the rations she has left unpacked for them and finishes off her piece of cheese.
