the Gnarley Forest, night and day
The watches set, the party settles down to sleep. The night passes without incident, although many animals can be heard throughout, but the rain tapers off and stops around midnight.
On the morn, Wess points you towards the dreaded part of the woods and says "That be the way, northwest about a day's travel on foot. You should have little problems finding it. The trees turn sickly and wood darken… the forest is also unnaturally still, as if the animals are hiding from all. It is a large area and it may take time to search it out. I bid thy good tidings"
To which he starts heading back towards Three Oaks. The party turns and heads into the wood. There is no real trail here and without the sun you might well become lost where it not for Garynn knowledge and uncanny affinity with the wild.
Again, late in the day, the rain returns but it is fairly light, the party begins to look for a place to bed down. The forest has gradually grown darker and more foreboding, and as Wess mentioned it has gotten very quite…only the dripping of water and your own footsteps are audible.
Know/nature check for Garynn 16+13 =29
Garynn finds the group a fairly dry and defensible position near a rock shelf. Setting up their watches again, this night… feels so much colder and dreary then the one before. There is a feeling that there is something out there watching you all… with eyes unseen but full of hate and hunger…
Watches as I understand them if it ok with all (as we have not heard from Lorien for a REALLY long time, I am moving Verrick up to 1st watch if that is ok)…
1st = Garynn (and Bramble) and Verrick
2nd = Norbac and Philo
3rd = Braggi and Nadariad
About an hour into first watch, Bramble gets a bit agitated and growls lightly out into the dark… Garynn can't see anything out there, nor hear anything special… but Bramble seems to smell something he really does not like…
Actions? Doing anything special??

Philo -- Human Paladin
OOC: Are all of use awake? If so, Philo uses his detect evil ability to sence if there is an evil presence nearby. Of course, he also arms himself.

[occ] As it is only an hour into the first watch, I would say 50/50.
Norbac - awake
Philo - awake
Braggi - awake
Nadariad - asleep[/occ]
Focusing for a moment, Philo 'reaches' out into the night... at first he just gets only a general feeling of uneasy... and then he starts feeling a cold ancient evil... it stops right at the edge of his ability and does not get closer... he can almost feel it breathing out there, hungry and hateful...

Laddies I'm not likin' this at all. says Garynn as he trys to comfort Bramble. Ifn' it scairs Bramble I don' want to meet it in the light o' day let alone a' night.
He picks up his pipes and starts a quick set of scales. [cast detect magic]

Braggi Grundersson (Lvl 6 Dwarf Fighter)
Braggi readies his axe and shield and steps to the front of the party. He stands quietly and scans the darkness.
