Mindal Human Scout
Mindal will try and find a campsite with a slope to one side to reduce the likelyhood of their fire being seen. He'll gathersome fire wood from deadfall around the camp knowing that warm food and beds will be needed on a cold night. He suggests tents close to the fire to further reduce visability and help keep us warm. "I like the idea of the horses being hobbled and picketed. I agree we should keep as much as we can packed and ready to load up. Your proposed watch schedule sounds good to me." Mindal will sleep in his armor with weapons at the ready.
OOC: After tonight, I may not be able to post again until sometime Tuesday.

First Post
Brenden takes up a position as close to the campfire w/out actually burning himself. He grumbles about the cold and whines about a lack of good sandwitches.
OOC: Sorry for the lack of posting. Weekend + BIG project at work will be limiting my posting times.

Koraero Firironna - Sun Elf Rogue 2
Koraero quickly runs over to rummage through his saddlebags again. During his search, he suddenly gestures as if he's about to let out a big "Ah-ha," but instead cuts himself short of actually saying anything and his expression changes to a frown of diappointment. After a few more seconds of searching, Koraero comes back to the fire's edge.

Chapter 2 - Moonwood Forest
With your backs to a hill and the surrounding trees you find a spot that is relatively protected from the elements and you make camp. With a small fire going to provide a little light and much needed warmth you divvy up the guard rotations and attempt to get some much needed sleep after a hard days travel. Early in the evening it does begin to snow but the tree limbs surrounding you keep most of it at bay. The temperature does drop considerably but with the preparations you have made you are able to stand off the cold biting at your heels. Occasionally the people on guard duty hear some sound far off in the forest but nothing seems to be interested in you at all.
The guards make the rotations and the ones being woken up grumble a bit and grudgingly wake up to relive their friends and allow them some sleep as well. Kor and Pemberton have their backs to the fire and are watching the surrounding area. They are quietly getting to know each other more and finding out if they know anyone in common as they both at one time lived in Waterdeep. Suddenly both of you whip your heads to the right as you hear the sound of a broken branch close by. It sounded like it was almost inside your little haven. Your eyes frantically scan the area but are unable to see anything amiss and you hear no other sound. You do notice that a lot of the normal noises you should hear at night are no longer there and the hairs on the back of your neck are standing up. You can almost feel someone or something watching you. Out of the corner of Pemberton's eye he thinks he sees two beady little red eyes staring at him but when he looks in that direction he sees nothing.
Then suddenly the feeling of being watched is gone and slowly you begin to hear the regular noises form the forest returning.
Kor - Listen=19, Spot=8
Pemberton - Listen=16, Spot=17
(ooc: I will post my rolls on Invisible Castle under Elocin - DM for those of you who want to look at them, and I will place a few creature rolls in spoilers like the one below for you to look at as well. Hope you are enjoying things so far.)

Brenden snores softly as he dreams of down-filled pillows, satin sheets, and a certain stablegirl who works at an inn close to his master's tower. He smiles in his sleep.
