Kragen to the group. "Suggest we continue on for today and find a suitable place to setup camp." "Barring any further engagements, we may want to consider increased surveillance overnight, knowing we are in an area of heightened bandit activity."
The saddles and harnesses for the horses remain in place. There are no saddle bags or other gear remaining on the horses. He does find something in the grass nearby along the path of the blood trail. There is a small piece of metal. Examining it shows it to be a clasp for a cloak made of iron with an anvil in a sunburst symbol on the front. Kragen remembers back to talking with Cleggor at The Dancing Dolphin that he wore a cloak clasp just like this.
Erbert concurs with proceeding on, and after climbing back into the wagon, he pulls out his journal and makes note of the location and findings, jotting this down for future reference. Erbert says to Chadwick, “I know of the spell that you are talking of, alas I cannot cast it. If we find a scroll that contains that spell I will be able to write it into my book, but I cannot - we need to post our guard as you have mentioned.”
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.
You press on from here, with plans to return if able. The road fords a large stream in an area of open ground. Just a few trees around an and some bushes along the creek side. Looks like a good place as any for camping and watering the oxen.
I believe at least one Sally wants to double watches and sleep in armor. To double watches, I propose same order but rolling overlaps (A watches with B, then B watches with C). This would leave single watches at the beginning and end.
Hoid, not wanting to be exhausted, will not sleep in armor.
Unless there are hit points to recover or exhaustion to overcome, Hoid will henceforth always sleep in armor. Hopefully that will someday include plate mail.
Prior to departure the next morning, Hoid will investigate the perimeter in a triangular pattern with the three large trees/clumps of vegetation as the apexes of the triangle (with particular emphasis on the vertexes). Looking for evidence of anyone/anything that might have been looking in on us during the evening.

Chadwick
I concur with the wisdom of Kragen for doubling up on watches.
And so Chadwick proclaims, so shall it be!

While it impedes our rest a bit, I feel like we should sleep in our armour tonight so we are better prepared for a sneak attack.
Any of you spell casters have any kind of alarm spell to help protect our perimeter?
Hoid will look more closely at the horses before we leave. Rolled 10.

"Great find Hoid, thank you for searching the animals. Cleggor will appreciate the return of a fallen comrades possessions!"
(Unless it belonged to Cleggor.)
/watching for plan
I believe we are in agreement to continue with our delivery task with the intention of returning to the scene of this crime afterwards.
You press on from here, with plans to return if able. The road fords a large stream in an area of open ground. Just a few trees around an and some bushes along the creek side. Looks like a good place as any for camping and watering the oxen.
(( Same watch plans? ))

Hoid, not wanting to be exhausted, will not sleep in armor.
My understanding is it doesn't cause exhaustion, you just can't recover from it if you already are (and regain less HPs if wounded).
That is my understanding as well.
Unless there are hit points to recover or exhaustion to overcome, Hoid will henceforth always sleep in armor. Hopefully that will someday include plate mail.
Shall we get on with the overnight attack/ambush?
Yes, please proceed with the debauchery!

The night passes with Chadwick on watch followed by Erbert, Gneuman, Hoid, Kragen and then Trolkarl.
Prior to departure the next morning, Hoid will investigate the perimeter in a triangular pattern with the three large trees/clumps of vegetation as the apexes of the triangle (with particular emphasis on the vertexes). Looking for evidence of anyone/anything that might have been looking in on us during the evening.
