As the sunsets and darkness comes, Dreli and Hilmir hear a low-chant echo through the woods. It echos around in all directions, making it hard to tell where it is coming from exactly. Perhaps several areas at once.

The two of you work to assemble a hidden camp together, and mostly manage to succeed although moonlight on Dreli's cloak seems to create little glimmers of light from certain angles.
They hide for a few minutes, and hear the chanting fade away. The woods go quiet, then Dreli and Hilmir hear some nocturnal animals begin to chirp to each other. The night has arrived.

Hilmir listens carefully to the surrounding sounds and then turns to Dreli with a suggestion. In a hushed tone, he says, "Dreli, I believe we should take turns keeping watch. I'll start with the first shift. But before that, you should have a bit more to eat to keep your energy up. I have some pedals given by the frogmen; they have a peculiar taste, but they should suffice."

Dreli waves off the flower petals. "I'm fine. Really. I'll try to rest then. Wake me if I am asleep, when you want to get some rest yourself." She says to Hilmir.

Hilmir takes first watch as Dreli sleeps, and notices some movement in the trees above but can't quite make out what it may be. It is somewhat large though, at least two feet wide. The creature, whatever it may be, is moving very quietly. Any noise is coming from the leaves rustling against each other.
OOC:
What does Hilmir have on his person for the watch at the moment? Is the rest of his gear in the pack somewhere to the side?

OOC:
Hilmir wears his standard gear, which includes his helmet, shield, and spear. His axe hangs from his belt for convenient access, and his pack is positioned nearby, closer to Dreli along with her belongings.
Intrigued by the movement in the trees above, Hilmir narrows his eyes and maintains a keen watch. He keeps his guard up, ready to respond if needed, but also curious to identify what the creature might be without startling it or alerting it to his presence.
Oct 24, 2023 4:37 pm
While Hilmir focuses on the movement, he sees something leap to another tree, scurry down, and then jump to the ground. He couldn't quite make it out, but knows he saw some type of dark teal tail. Whatever it is seems to be about 50ft away near some brush.

Hilmir also still hears some movement in the trees, behind where he is currently looking.
Oct 24, 2023 4:41 pm
Hilmir carefully attempts to gather more information from his current position, unwilling to leave Dreli alone and vulnerable. He remains watchful, fully aware that if something unexpected were to occur, his immediate reaction would be to shout and rouse Dreli.
Oct 24, 2023 5:06 pm
The movement seems to cycle between three main areas: the area on the ground where the figure dropped, in the trees among the leaves up above, and what seems to be something jumping between two trees somewhere on the other side of the camp. It seems almost like the intent is to distract and confuse. All of the noise is still from the movement though, no growls or barks or anything like that.

Hilmir, please roll a DEX save and WIL save. This will determine what you can figure out from there.

Dreli, please roll a DEX save and WIL save. This will determine if the current commotion wakes you.

Hilmir realizes that the one on the ground is moving in a predictable pattern, but it's just a little too fast for him and he's only able to catch partial glimpses. Some kind of wing, some teal fur, red eyes. It doesn't seem to be getting closer to Hilmir, but keeps jumping in and out of his peripheral vision.

Dreli wakes up hearing some movement in the trees nearby, but also something much closer. Turning around, she notices something going through Hilmir's pack. It is a small teal creature that looks like a monkey, but it has wings.

Realizing that it's been spotted by Dreli the creature jumps backward empty-handed, makes two loud barks.

"That doesn't belong to you." Dreli tells the little creature as it sounds its displeasure at having been caught attempting to pilfer Hilmir's pack.
Oct 25, 2023 12:33 pm
Hilmir does his best to monitor the creature moving in the trees, ensuring he doesn't lose sight of it. As he hears Dreli, he says, "Dreli, There is more than one of those creatures. Try to shoo the one down here away, if you can. I'll keep an eye on the other."
Oct 25, 2023 4:49 pm
Having been caught, the one near Dreli scampers off into the woods, and the other two follow suit. The pair of you listen for any commotion for a few moments, but they seem to have left in earnest. This occurred near the end of Hilmir's watch, so you switch for the rest of the night and Dreli's goes by without incident. Just some hooting in the trees far away.

Based on Hilmir's estimations, you should get to the area you last encountered the frogmen in the early afternoon. Note that there are still agents of The Order patrolling this area, it's just not their focus. Let me know how you generally intend on proceeding the rest of the way, and what your actions would be should you hear/see someone or something approaching where you are.

OOC:
I believe they would continue on like before: cautious by not overly so. They would attempt to find food as they walk so as to not burn through their rations.
Oct 27, 2023 10:57 pm
Dreli and Hilmir proceed without any problems for a few hours, until they hear something very large moving through the woods somewhere to the east. You're on the otherside of a hill from it, so they can't see what it is, but it is making a lot of commotion.
OOC:
Would you try to avoid it? Investigate further?
Oct 28, 2023 12:10 am
Dreli's eyes widen as she hears the sounds from the other side of the hill. She glances over to Hilmir and tightens her grip on the shovel handle.
Oct 28, 2023 12:22 am
Hilmir voices his concern, "That doesn't sound promising, but it's best to find out. You stay here, and I'll go investigate." With those words, he cautiously proceeds in the direction of the mysterious noise, his hand firmly grasping his spear.
