OOC:
I said Slate was going the opposite direction to Actaeon, so I can't really say on direction. In terms of distance, I was intending to go around until I met him on the other side.

Yellow marker is where Bart and Kel are currently interacting with the Kobolds. the camp resides within this horseshoe shaped hollow of a plateau. The plateau walls extend up as much as 150 feet. You can skirt the edges and attempt to use the rough boulders and terrain for cover. If you wish to circle around to the back of the camp, you don't have a good look at that yet. as the ground slopes upwards towards the rear of the hollow and you notice the tents begin to get a little nicer as compared to the kobold tents in the lower/entry portion of the camp.--Athas is going with which person?

Sneaky crew: The tents in the mouth of the hollow are crudely built and decorated with animal skulls. These are occupied by kobolds. They seem rowdy and chaotic at the moment as you observe them while moving amongst the brush on the camp perimeter close to the plateau's cliff face.

Actaeon turns to Athas, whispering If we get caught, or anyone gets suspicious, you're my prisoner okay? Unless if we can find you a cultist disguise as well, that plan will have to do. Actaeon continues hugging the plateau, and tries to make himself around the perimeter more.

Athas smirks, responded to Actaeon in the same hushed tone. "Noted. But let's try not to reach that point."

Bart & Kel: The kobolds all look in Bart's direction but don't respond and go back to their conversations. You catch what you believe to be looks of disdain towards you.

Bartholomew says to Kel in a whisper, "Let’s keep moving. It seems our presence here is not viewed as suspicious..." He heads deeper into the camp (to the east).

Kel nods to the others, saying, "To the victory go the spoils," in Draconic, and clapping Bartholmew on the shoulder, leads him father easy into the camp.

You move deeper into the camp and pass other groups of kobolds scattered about the lower level of the camp.
They continue to pay you little mind. Eventually the path begins to steepen and slope upwards towards the next level of the hollow. The tents you can see in the distance are in much nicer condition than the kobold tents, sturdier, cleaner, and decorated with painted designs representing dragons. Huts vary in diameter from 10 feet to 25 feet, and in height from 5 feet to 10 feet. (Symbols on the map represent clusters of tents.) A larger tent towards the rear is seperated from the others by an open space. To the North on the plateau stands another 20 foot watchtower. There are still individuals gathered in the second level of the camp but these are humanoids (mostly humans, but various races are spotted). You seem to notice small subgroups of factions that seem to linger together. A mix of mercenary groups and cultists.
Along the perimter there are boulders that help with cover as well as brush that varies from 4 to 6 feet in height that is tough and dense. The steep sides of the plateau are dotted with shallow caves. Boulders or brush conveniently conceals many of the cave mouths.

Do I recognize any of the mercenary groups?Feb 21, 2019 1:11 am

Another important question. Would they recognize me? And how would they react to seeing me?Feb 21, 2019 1:32 am
OOC:
You don't know :)...ultimately you haven't worked for these companies before but are aware of them due to your background. If you are wearing a uniform, then it is possible someone could recognize you just as you have them.

I am indeed wearing my uniform.Feb 21, 2019 1:42 am
Actaeon replies quietly, No, we're not going to get ourselves killed- let's continue scouting, and we'll formulate a plan.
