The First Sacrifice (OOC)

A tad unfortunate timing with fossball being away from now [ref]. Let's give a little while to see if they want to play out finding the camp, else we will do it without the player.

If Norbert can not play it out we can either each contribute and take that as Norbert's result, or we can roll the Die of Fate to see how long it takes and if you can get there unnoticed.

There is no chance of 'not finding' the camp, that is unfun.

Norbert greatest fear is being found out before he finds the camp. But again, if Daryl feels better to have someone else go with him it is fine.

Good to know, we will focus on avoiding that as the bad outcome. Where possible it will just take time --careful searching is slower-- but that should not matter unless the go really against you, since it is early morning(*).

Daryl can not act on his own, he does not have Stats and can not roll dice. The PCs have to drive this. :)

How are we doing this? Do one of the PCs want to take responsibility for helping Norbert and Daryl find the camp? Do we roll the Die of Fate and hope?

Either way --absent having Norbert play it out in detail-- I say we just all go together and find the camp at the same time.

are you wanting to discover something out there?
I can't really think of a good discovery. So not really, no.
Do I have to make a post about not finding anything in the bushes?
@palemantle, is there anything you would want Albert to find?

You just did? :)

Or just if you guys want to find something, I can come with something if that is what you want.

Else we can skip to the morning and the search for the camp.

Not really, @TheGenerator. It's reasonable to think that Olden would've heard the drums towards the end of his shift, and subconsciously interpreted it as something "weird" or a possible threat. At his age, I can't imagine his hearing is particularly acute and he's probably just trying to fit his unease to mundane sources of noise such as branches/leaves.

That apart, I've got no strong opinion on finding something vs moving on to the camp.

As an aside, Roald's shortsword is likely still with Olden and he very much intends to hand it back.

Alright. I'm fine with skipping the night as well :)

Depending on when Roald his having his shift. If Olden was first (I believe he went first?) Roald would have asked for his weapon .

We can assume Roald has got his weapon back before you get to the camp. [ref]
