You know for a fact that the sun will rise, again, in about an hour and it will be as if you are in a tropical jungle shortly there after. You are amazed at how accurate you have predicted the weather but for some reason you aren’t sure you want to share this information with your companions.
Mindal's Weather Survival Check (1d20+2=3)
(ooc: if you want you can roll skill checks yourself, which I will assume you will do after this roll. As a matter of fact anyone can roll their own skill checks.)

"I am not sure I can go much further in this darkness, not without risk at any rate. Our options do not seem very appealing though, as this forest is rumored to be full of lycanthropes. I would have prefered to put it behind us before nightfall, but alas I think we may have to stop here until morning." says Sten.

Brenden looks around, distaste evident on his face. "Err... why don't we just turn around and stay in the inn tonight. We'll make better time tomorrow." He sounds quite hopeful.

You have been traveling about 6 hours btw as you have been pressing yourselves and the horses to get to the edge of the forest. So your current location is about 40' from the edge of the forest. It is definitely thinner where you are but if you travel back west for about 30' the forest would thicken around you. Now if you went 40' to the east you would be completely out of the forest all together and in an area of open fields occasionally broken up by rolling hills.

Mindal Human Scout
Mindal calls a halt and speaks to the group. "I can't see my horse's ears anymore. I suggest that we get some lights going and find a likely camp spot in the shelter of the trees. If the lycanthropes really want to get us camping over there a hundred yards or so in open ground isn't going to help. The weather...is very unpredictable in these parts. We should take what protection from the wind we can get and start a fire then set guards and get moving again as soon as it is light. At least that would be my suggested course of action. I'm sorry Brenden, but we'll never find our way back to the tavern in the dark."

Koraero Firironna - Sun Elf Rogue 2
"Oh, you guys want some light?"
Koraero starts rummaging through one of his saddlebags. As soon as he does, the soft glow of torchlight flickers out. It doesn't take him long to pull out the source - an everburning torch.
"Aha! I thought I had one of these!" Koraero dramatically holds the torch high in the air.
"Oh, and I'm pretty sure I've got some tindertwigs in here somewhere too..." And with that, Koraero starts digging through his saddlebags again.

"No one has cast today have they? So the spellcasters can take watch; they might not get the chance later. Sven and Brenden can go first, Mindal and Talon, then Kor and myself and then Durnn and Kor to see us thorugh to dawn. Okay?"
"Hobble the horses front legs and tether them to a line facing the forest. You really want a fire Mindal?" he shrugs, "Keep it small, and don't touch our reserves of firewood."
Pemberton will hobble his horse - loosely enough to enable a quick cut to allow him to get the hell out of there - and leave the saddle and bags fully packed and ready to go.
