Redclaw's Eyes of the Lich Queen

"I don't know about that. They just told me that the other tribes don't come here. If we're to be ambushed, that's fine as well. We will face whatever foe the darkness can throw at us." Drekhad thinks about how his party might have acted had they heard his words in common. Clearly, they wouldn't have appreciated the subtle nuances of a language with a thousand words for wealth and power, and a thousand more for flattery and groveling. "By the way, can anyone take a measure of the distance to that mountain? I Have no idea how you would do that, but maybe someone has some expertise in that?"

Talas

Talas sits on one of the rock around the firepit, his flail swinging between his knees. "Let us know if you find any sort of trail Bregan," he says to the shifter. He looks at the others and says, "Let's spread the map out on one of these rocks and get our orientation." I wonder who finds use of this campsite? Other lizardfolk tribes, or people like us...those who failed?
 

[sblock=OnlytheStrong] Bregan makes a slow, careful circuit of the camping area. There is little evidence of travel apart from the small path you used to come up the hill. That path has tracks that seem to be made mostly by lizardfolk, although there are some much older prints made by booted feet. [/sblock]

[sblock=Evolution] If you are reading the map accurately, the mountain is the great volcano Haka'Torvhak. You also estimate, based on landmarks, etc., that you're a little less than a day's travel from the temple. It should be somewhere to the northeast of you, but you can't see any sign of it from the hilltop. [/sblock]

[sblock=Creamsteak] You are unable to estimate the distance to the mountain, but it looks quite far. You are equally unable to see any sign of the temple in the jungle around and below you. [/sblock]
 

Bregan returns to camp, shaking his head. "Nothing out there. A few old boot prints, but mostly lizardfolk tracks." He remains standing, not sure if the others want him to stay out on the trails or not.
 

Talas

Talas stands and points at the mountain. "That is the volcano, Haka'Torvhak. Judging from this map and the distance to the volcano, the temple should be about a days travel to the northeast," he points in that direction. He then speaks to the shifter, "Was there any trails out there that we could follow to take us there?"

"Hey Bregan, you look like you might want to do some recon? Is that right? If you want to go ahead. Let's see if we can cut any time off our trek. If not, we'll continue."
 

The sun is setting and you're a little under a day's travel from the temple. Do you want to camp here or keep going and hope for a different suitable site along the way?
 


"I have been around our camp to some distance and saw nothing. I will be happy to circle our camp for the first few hours, but I need rest as well. Bregan remains standing, waiting for the group to decide on the watch.



ooc: I casted my vote for camping here lol.
 

"Let's set up camp here for the night. If nothing else, this hill is mostly clear, so we should be able to see anything coming before it's on top of us. I'm not really tired yet; I'll take first watch."

Assuming there are no objections to camping here, Alexa will set up her area and start her watch.
