"Well Nadour, there are 8 of us, the four from my team, you, your cook, and your 2 soldiers. I say we split the evening into 4 watches, 2 people on each. I will take first watch, with you, and you can assign your people to the other 3 as you wish. If there are no objections, Rell, you take second, Makas, third, and Calondor you can take the last watch."

Fror looks back at Morrison. He do not seems happy with his descision.
"What does that mean? I am not a warrior, I don't see why I should skip precious sleeping hours. He pauses for a while grumbling to himself and continues "Ok, I'll take the watch with Makas."
Nadour seems also a bit upset by Morisson order he says to himself Around here one person per watch would have been enough He then shut up and prepare for his watch.
The night passes without any significant incident. During the watch you discussed a little with your pair but none of you were able to gather more significant information.
The next morning you leave camp and crosses the hill.
Nadour stops the caravan about half a mile before the woods. And you can all enjoy another of Fror delicious meal.
OOC I will fast forward a bit here
After another night without incident, you wake up to start what should be the hardest part of your trip. Nadour says to Morisson "As the point men we must be extra vigilant, especially during the afternoon near the village, where I expect the attack, Any changes of plan before we go?
The two soldiers now seems very nervous, they did the trip three times and were never attacked, but everytime they get around this area they know that they can die.

"I dont believe so, but I'm certainly open to any suggestions?" Morrison makes eye contact with each member of the caravan, hoping to sense if anyone wants to say anything. He also makes sure to give anyone who wants a chance to talk to him alone, probably while preparing his horse for travel.
Makas (dwarf warrior)
Makas shakes his head silently. With nothing to add he simply starts to prepare his own instrument of self torture - the horse. With it all prepared, Makas loosens the handaxe at his belt and sets his shield so that it is ready. And then the test - mounting the beast. With effort, he achieves it and somehow manages to guide the creature towards his designated position.
As he passes the gnome's caravan he quietly mentions to Fror, "If things go bad, stick by me and I'll do my best to see you right."

Fror waves back at Makas in sign of approval.
The wagon enters the wood. Morrison and Nadour are oppening the way. The forest doesn't look unusual or particular. (OOC think about the average western US forest with it's very large tree).
As the day advances Morisson feels that Nadour is getting more nervous. He is fully concentrated on what's in front of the caravan not paying attention to anything else.
In the distance all can start to see the smoke coming from the nearby village. The two soldiers are awfully quiet with Rell, they are also focussing on their surrounding.
Then Morrison notices a pouch who seems to be full of coins lying on the ground. Nadour who also saw it says " Be Careful with that it might be an ambush" The men seems to be sweating and very nervous.

Morrison holds up his hand calling to the caravan to halt and be ready. He then scans the trees to either side and ahead. Assuming that he sees and hears nothing, Morrison draws 2 javelins, and gets down from the horse. Carrying one javelin in his off hand, and the mw one in his throwing hand, Morrison will approach the trees to the left.
