Those of you who remain set up camp for the night. From the work so far, the caravan is kind of hidden. It is still obviously there but it is less obviously a trade caravan. The sun is setting and Louisa is gathering materials for a small fire both for cooking a meal and so that those like her who can't see in the dark can still have some vision.
Everyone else goes off to follow the tracks, leaving you two, Louisa and Marcus. Louisa will cook up a decent meal for you all. "I like to get to know my employees, what brought you to Elgard, and more importantly, what is your name?" she asks directed at Henricook.
"I am Louisa Freemantle, born and raised in Highwater the capital here. I sell things with my brothers. We take it in turn to do the trade route or to work in the shop."
You finish your meal and go about getting ready for the night. (if Zack has anything to say when back from comic con we can go back to it)
Louisa will take first watch and let you two and Marcus debate who goes when after that. Anything you wish to do before sleeping? And if not, which watch you take (Marcus will take whatever is left) and a perception check at disadvantage from the low light
(back. More or less. Decided to forego the last two days of it due to .. various reasons. This year was.... disappointing.)
Zack says I'll take mid-watch. Always slept better when my sleep is broken up anyway. Unless you really wish to uh... Don't think I got your name, and if you said it, I must not have heard it Mr. Aaracocra.
(Unless he disagrees with me being midwatch, here's my perception roll: 7
2 watches? You need 6 hours of sleep for a long rest. (Copied from PhB in spoiler).
A long rest is a period of extended downtime, at least 8 hours long, during which a character sleeps for at least 6 hours and performs no more than 2 hours of light activity, such as reading, talking, eating, or standing watch.
If I understand correctly, Louisa first, Zack second, Marcus third and Henricook last?? (Feel free to correct me)
Louisa spends her watch, seemingly uneventful. During Zack's watch, however, about 30 minutes into his watch. Zack catches a glimpse of eyes reflecting in the distance from the embers of the campfire (or lit campfire if you kept it going), As you go to alert the others you feel a warm breath on your neck and a snarl, as the wolf who snuck up on you (W1) goes for a bite.
Attack: 18 Damage: 7 (if hit, DC11 str save or prone)
Another wolf (W2) pounces on Henricook as the eyes that Zack saw (W3) also come running towards the group (the third one looking larger)
Attack: 12 Damage: 9 (if hit, DC11 str save or prone)
(going theatre of the mind, naming the enemies is just so you can specify easier which one you attack, all wolves are within 30ft of everyone by this point. If you roll initiatve higher than the wolves, take your turn without waiting for me to reply)
Wolves: 11 Louisa: 12 (Marcus is a non combatant)
Louisa, not having been woken up by being attacked, will be startled enough by the noise to wake up but without the adrenaline flowing through her, is unable to wake up fast enough to attack, she has her longsword ready though.
Zack gets bit, being caught off guard, his entire focus having been on the pair of eyes in the distance that he was about to alert people to, until he'd been attacked, a sheet of arcane energy covers his body, keeping him from harm by the wolfs attack (Reaction: Shield) Zack however, his adrenaline kicking into overdrive catches himself on the ground before being tousled to the ground by the wolf through the shield, using that momentum to bring his greatsword to bear, but using the flat end as he attempts to swing into the wolfs side hard (Non-Lethal Attack: 11 Damage: 5 )
Zack shouts to the group using his free action Quick, everyone up! Wolves!
W3 runs up and along with W1 will both take an attack on Zack W1 Attack: 23 Damage: 7 (If hits, DC11 str save or prone) W3 Attack: 23 Damage: 10 (If hits, DC13 str save or prone)
W2 will take another bit at Henricook W2 Attack: 6 Damage: 6 (If hits, DC11 str save or prone)
W4 will come out from behind the carts and attack Louisa W4 Attack: 13 Damage: 6 (If hits, DC11 str save or prone)
W4 just manages to land a hit on Louisa, Str save 17
Louisa will stand up and slash her greatsword back at W4: Attack: 24 Damage: 6

Henricook is grateful for the light. An Aarokocra doesn’t have the best eyesight in the dark, apparently.

The Crow flies out, having been next to Henricook when attacked. It distracts W2, and Henricook stabs at it with his Yklwa. Ow. That hurt.
