S@squ@tch's Against the Giants - Team Black OOC - Grinding

[Voadam]

Did we already decide that watches will not screw up spell rest or am I thinking of a different thread?

Voadam has darkvision as an aasimar so he is happy to be a middle watch if it won't stop his spell prep. Otherwise he will happily take first, last, or none.

Yeah, though that was a while ago. Sanne, with no darkvision and minimal infusion capability, will take first or last watch normally. If she doesn't need to regain infusions (because she hasn't used any that day), she'll do a midwatch.

 

[Redclaw]

With no spell preparation to worry about, and good ol' dwarven darkvision, Thanor is happy to take middle watch.

 

[s@squ@tch]

Is the group comfortable with one person/watch or do you want two?

 

[pathfinderq1]

Two would definitely be preferable, if we have the numbers. One staying near the center of the campsite, and one moving- they can trade off though the course of the watch to prevent boredom and to keep the routine a bit varied for any intruders. As for having a campfire, I think we might want a small one- but have a lantern or sunrod ready if there is trouble, since not everybody has darkvision.

For what it is worth, Ipshivi doesn't need food either, so she will actually take her two hour rest essentially immediately once the party stops moving for the night, while everyone else is going through the drudgery of setting up the camp and having dinner/evening decompression time. Figure she'll miss maybe half of the first watch, then stand guard for the rest of 1st and all of 2nd and 3rd. Once she starts watch, she'll find a good hiding spot (most likely perched in a convenient tree)- she'll choose her spot carefully (taking 10 on her Hide check, for a 25 +Invisibility)

Watch list proposal

Trying to get this straightened out- feel free to comment. Bold print indicates something already volunteered for, regular type for 'don't care' or no comment yet.

Three watchs:
1st watch: Voadam, Sanne, Ipshivi (second half of watch)
2nd watch: Thanor, Aeranduil, Ipshivi
3rd watch: Morika, Yoggrith, Ipshivi

 

[Rhun]

That watch schedule works for me.

 

[drothgery]

Works for me as well.

 

[s@squ@tch]

Cool -- thanks to Pathfinderq1 for the watch compilation.

And I will assume that you are having a small campfire going.

I'll advance the action tonight (hopefully) or tomorrow (at the latest).
