Taxidea says, "I kind of wish we would run into em', but OK, yeah, this way if they do show up, we can get the jump on em'."

"...at worst if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
Orion says, "It sounds like we are all agreed. Stay near the road, but camp a little away from the road. I will offer to scout ahead, if you think it a good idea."
"Works for me - just let me know if you need something set on fire."

The campsite is off the road a bit, in a small depression so as to be hidden from the road. Although no large trees grow in this area, plenty of bushes grow around here to provide cover and firewood. The first and second watches go without anything happening. Towards the end of the third watch, however, something seems to be happening on the road.

Vrothen will chat with Taxidea in drocaonic.
Okay. Are you going off the road to make camp each night or staying on the road?
Orion looks at the others, and says "I think it would be safer to stay off the road - we don't want to run into a goblin army heading this way."

"...at worst if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
So we stay near the road and camp a ways off to avoid patrols?
"We'll need to look for someplace easily hidden. Last time I was this way a camp with hundreds of goblinoids was sending patrols"
(OOC I take it we're way past the old goblin camp? Prim will point that direction & guess how far as she talks)
Alora chimes in.
”Yes cover is the most valuable asset here. In mass we can not win this fight. A more strategic approach is required here.

"Sounds good Orion. See what intel you can gather. I'm not one of stealth or I would go with."
"Works for me - just let me know if you need something set on fire."
"...at worst if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
Okay. The first day on the road is uneventful. You find a good place to camp just off the road. How are you doing your watches?
Vrothen will take the first watch.
Orion will do the second.
[and when Orion takes his watch, he casts Darkvision on himself]

I will give you Darkvision at the end of my watch.
Prim casts "Mage Armor" on herself before she goes to sleep.
"Is there anyone who is NOT wearing armor, that wants an armor spell? It'll last 8 hours."
"Thanks Prim. I'm good on armor", Taxidea says, running a hand over the scale-like sheen of the skin on his arms, "but I do appreciate the offer."
"Ooooooh! Darkvision!" Taxidea Chuckles "That sounds pretty cool. You know this may be the first time I'm actually looking forward to standing watch."
"...at worst if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
[Can we get a description of the campsite?]
Alora will take a rest for the first 4 hours then join the watch.
