After finding a likely place to set up camp, Latham promptly gathers a small tent out of Dehg's bag and assembles it. Before retreating into its confines, he speaks to the group. "I need to rest tonight. We've not been isolated like this before as a group together, so you should know that Dehg can handle taking watch all night. All he needs is a few hours to sleep in the morning.
"Now there are a few things we need to discuss, and we can do that now or in the morning. First off, our location and refuge was a secret. We have a traitor in the resistance. Whether it's one of us eight or another of our organization, I am not sure, but it is unsettling.
"Secondly, there are two friendly locations around this area that are known to me. We can seek shelter and supply here. There is an orc village less than a week's walk to the south and an underdark fortress at least twice as far to the north. It makes no difference to me, Dehg might have a hard time with the Orcs though, but that matters not, especially when they are awed by the power we possess. If we would all prefer, I am quite familiar with them and can magically transport us most of the way on the morrow, but in order for that to happen, I need rest tonight.
"I doubt we will be ambushed by an army tonight. But if in the case we are, Dehg will wake you by screaming quite loudly. It's not an attractive noise. If anyone would like to keep him company during the evening, be my guest. He really is quite tame."
Latham finishes with a look to Dehg and a nod. He then pulls back the flap of the tent, heads in quickly and fastens the entrance shut. From the inside he says again, "If anyone needs me, now is the time. I sleep rather soundly."
