[QUOTE="Erekose13, post: 1485671, member: 3387"] [b]An encounter at midnight[/b] [color=purple] Ok so I have: First watch - Gespeth and Ian (10-12) Second watch - Folco and Ian (12-2) Third watch - Dara and Ian (2-4) Last watch - Donner and Taneth (4-6) Mahe can fit in anywhere he would like, just let me know.[/color] Camp is set up fairly quickly with people dropping their gear where ever they please around a smallish clearing. There is enough room for a fire if one is desired. As people gather their things and head to bed, Gespeth and Ian set watch on opposite sides of the little camp. With Donner's dogs, Folco's wolf, and Mahe's eagle (if it is around), you have plenty of other ears and noses open during the night. The first watch is easy but a little boring, as the two watch the darkness fall and hear the insects chirp. Around midnight Gespeth goes and wakes Folco, careful around the large grey and black wolf lying against him. Rousing him, Wolf opens a golden eye to peer directly at Gespeth. Wolf stands as Folco begins to rise. In the gloom of the deep night you all hear something in the distance. It is difficult to tell at first where or how far the sound was, but it sounded a bit like the panting of the animals gathered about. All of a sudden the horse winnies and the dogs wake up barking. The three on watch hear a sickly squishing noise just before a series of growls reaches their ears from all around the camp. In seconds four sets of green eyes appear just outside of the camp, maybe 20-25 yards away. [color=purple][ooc: no suprise. init will come with the next post, please post your reactions. could you also please post your character name and combat stats (hp/hp, ac, atk (dmg)) in the title of the post. i'll have a combat map up tonight/tomorrow as well.[/color] [/QUOTE]
