Mavdeno nods at Rowyn and Alan and heads back to the center table.
Mirena is about to answer Bert, when Glendrake looks over to see Bert sitting next to Mirena. He doesn’t exactly give Bert a nasty look, but there is definitely a sense of displeasure in his face. Mirena says quickly “I’ve stayed with you too long,” and rushes to her wagon, busying herself with some things. You don't need a sense motive check to realize that she's been calling out for help from the beginning.
Edit: don't forget to ask her again later!
The patrols for the first watch head out, including Rowyn and Alan.
Most everyone else lies down to take a rest, those in scale mail changing to chain shirts first, using hats or arms to shield their eyes from the sun. They’ll be taking a later watch.
Darien says “Nights are the most dangerous times, so keep your guard up, eh? I don’t have many potions of cure light left, but I’ll give one to each of you that doesn’t already have one. You might need it.” Darien notices that Dunathar is not taking a patrol, but doesn’t say anything about it. He doesn’t give a potion to Dunathar though.
Zanock, Alan, and Etherial each get a potion of cure light (1d8+1)
Edit: Darien probably doesn't know that Dunathar is not taking a patrol, so Dunathar gets the last potion
The evening passes mostly uneventfully. A wolverine wanders by, perhaps attracted by the smell of the cooking boar. It stays for a while, growling at the caravan, but eventually wanders off.
As the sun sets lower over the Diamond Mountains, dinner is served. The napping guards and drivers wake up to eat. The boar has been cooked well, and is tender and juicy, and goes well with the wild pear. Some potatoes and vegetables are brought out, with some ale to wash it down. Zanock heads off to eat alone, tired of the boring humans and their endless chatter. If you're gonna talk about something, he thinks, talk about something fun! Like if back-handed falchion swings deal more damage then forehands!
When they are finished they take their places on the wagons or horses, taking the second watch. The first watch comes in to eat. People tell jokes and stories, but no one laughs too hard. Everyone is wary.
Glendrake, Thevin and Mavdeno eat at the center table. Everyone else sits on the ground, or wherever they can.
The first watch has finished without incident, besides the wolverine that had come but wandered off. Night has arrived. The second watch heads out. Zanock and Bert make their mounted patrols, slowly circling the caravan from a distance, as Darien and three of his guards do the same.
Please describe your actions. Don’t forget you need eight hours of sleep a day.
