Deeper Underdark

The group settles down for the "night". (You have no idea what "night" or "day" is right now, as you have been undergound for a couple days, which is long enough to have lost track.) Oliver prepares a meal with what they have and it is better than anyone (including Oliver) expected given their meager ingredients. You chat while you eat.

Yoci says, "We're very close to where both groups will patrol, so we'll need to be very vigilant going forward. I don't recognize these particular tunnels, but the indication," show motions to her holy symbol, "is that we are getting closer to the city. Know that the duergar don't really negotiate. You are either an enemy or a slave/prisoner; there isn't much nuance." She shudders, "And if they find out I'm an escapee and you freed me, then we're all just enemies. We'll need to be extra vigilant from here on out."

Brewner and Oliver takes the first watch. Oliver takes the time to clean up from the meal and make sure everything is properly stowed so they can leave quickly the next "morning". Brewner stoically stays vigilant throughout the watch, and you don't talk much, focusing on your tasks.

Stee, Wreak, and Grin take the second watch. Havok sleeps through the whole "night". You chat some in order to make sure you stay away throughout your watch, which succeeds.

Ealdwig and Yoci take the third watch. You are both relatively rested, so you have no problem staying alert. Yoci recommends not activating the Chromacloth and just sitting in the barely visible embers of Oliver's fire. She can see in the dark and recommends that Ealdwig can use the Chromacloth's light as a sudden action if anything does show up. If nothing shows up, it can be saved for later use.

As the watch is ending, Ealdwig and Yoci get up to start waking the others. However, before they can do that they both hear a sound that is way too close to them. It sounds like something has managed to sneak up on them without them hearing it and is very close to them.
