Karib looks up from his feigned slumber, "You won't get any argument from me, I'm all packed and ready to go, but where is Tengar?"
As Karib voices is question, Tengar makes it back to the camp, although a bit out of breath.
"Okay, I'm back!" He looks at Burra and then the rest. "Bird told you what she said? Okay, I am not opposed to leaving, though I am not sure if we should all go together. At this point we might be safer slipping out individually. What do you all think about that? I think we should leave before I find a way to murder those Redbrands and, likely, end up being killed. At least I got some money from them." He holds up the pouch and smiles, teeth still bloody from earlier. "Maybe one of us could use those robes, if we still have them....Ummm, where's Kano?!"
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Pimster knew that he had not rested long enough to regain all of his spells, but it was enough to gain some of his magical strength back (Natural Recovery). Tengar obviously needed some healing, so the little druid prayed to the nature gods and laid his hands on the big half-orc as a soft golden light flowed from one to the other. (Heal 7)

Showing clear discomfort for evidently violent method Tengar employed to - well - 'earn money' from them, Burra uncomfortably shrugs his bony shoulders. "I would prefer leaving in the method I entered - without being seen at all. While I cannot imagine being stealthy will work for the rest of you, my patron can aid one person in remaining unseen. Kano is already outside the camp; I believe he may be the safest out of all of us..."
"For what it is worth, I can provide further healing if it is needed. Perhaps Tengar and Karib can continue the act of being guards and searching for Kano while Pimster and I leave in the method we arrived?"
Karib gets up, stuffs the cultist's purse in his belt, and gets ready to start "searching" near the gate with Tengar when he is ready. "Maybe stick to the darkness, but you'll have to be my eyes and ears...unless you want me to light the area?"
He will try to keep Guidance on Tengar as he leads them away.
Karib grins as Pimster transforms, "That's more like it! You find the traitor, boy...go...get the scent...he was over there..." he points in the direction Kano was last seen.
More quietly he says to Tengar, "Do you have any experience hunting with dogs...I sure as all the hells don't. Just need to say the right things, and Pimster probably needs to bark sometimes...but eventually lose the imaginary scent."

“No, not really. We used boars in my village. Let’s go.” Tengar will lead the way towards the entrance, casually looking around, mace drawn, for the interloper. Once out of the gate, as long as no one is around he’ll scan for Burra in the gloaming and try to get to some cover.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
While the remainder of the party exits through visible means, Burra instead mutters a quick prayer to his patron and instinctively fades into the long shadows casted by the campfires and steep cliffs. A rush of air follows as he exits the camp in the same method he entered.
(If Burra successfully evades notice:) After circling around and wading through the treetops above, Burra then circles around in the direction the party had wandered off to - evading any cultists or mercenaries in the process. If there's one thing Burra knows, it's that when people are usually searching, they very rarely consider looking upwards - and a creature such as Burra exploits an opportunity when he sees one.
Upon rejoining the party during an opportune moment where they are relatively alone, Burra makes true to the being he resembles by swooping down to the ground with little more than a rustle of leaves. While he speaks to the party, Burra seems unable to keep his gaze from swiveling to and fro to ensure the party isn't being noticed. "I suggest we hurry towards Greenest. Is there any sign of Kano?"

Deception: Tengar (with Help from Karib) - 18
As the two of you, plus Brutus, break camp and make your way to the gate entrance. There's a check with the cultist guard and with the telling of the advise to help for the search from Karib, you're given the all clear to go out and "search" for the individual avoiding capture...
The night's remnants begin to fade and give way to the misty-filled plains and the chill that lingers. Just over 100 ft. away from the camp of the Cult of the Dragons, the sun breaks over the highest bumps as Burralands nearby.
Perception: Brutus (Pimster) - 17
While there may not have been intention, the nose of the canine proves to be fascinating as ever! You pick up Kano's scent, and while there is a lot weaving and lingering in random spots, the most strongest of the scents heads back east towards the town of Greenest.
Pimster barks - the deep, loud bark of a mastiff hunting something, and follows the scent. For the rest of the time he has (1 hour total), the druid will maintain the dog's shape to aid in tracking and warning the party of danger!
He watches as Burra comes back to ground. He looks at Brutus, "Okay, well any scent of him boy?" Tengar looks back at the camp. "I doubt they'd send anyone after us but it might be best to get moving towards Greenest to report back. Unless poochy here has any other leads?"

Tengar
The half-orc nods at Karib's suggestion. "Aye, and let's be on the lookout for cultists in trees." Tengar will follow Brutus, keeping an eye out for any tracks, game trails, or signs of danger along the way. Survival - 18
With Pimster-Brutus keeping a nose (Tengar noticing the signs after they've been notified by a bark!) the team begin to make their way back to Greenest.
During their travels, the druid reverts back to his true form, but senses are still kept sharp for any dangers that may rise; cultist, predator or any natural dangers.
The tension is eased as you arrive just over a hill and see the small town of Greenest, well into the stages of recovery with a lot of the townsfolk up and about. You notice simple scaffolding is already up on public buildings as damages are being tended to with plenty of cooperation, a lot of people are still clearing the streets; smells of normal town life and the chattering from mundane work as Greenest is getting back to his feet.
The vigilance of the guards assigned at the gates is strong, but you are recognised before you are hailed to stop. Lead to Scatterheart Keep, there is a bustle this mid-morning, unsurprisingly. You are all guided to the dining hall, which provides some relief from the busyness in the halls of the keep.
On the end of a long table, you see a bandages Kano talking to a half-elf wearing a light blue gi with simple leather trousers and shoes. Her light grey eyes piercing against her tanned skin, her brown hair simply up in a bun. In the brightness of the day, you can see on a simple looking leather strap around her neck dangles a shimmering aqua-coloured precious stone. For those who know, this is Lesona. And despite the travel she must have done to get here, she looks well kept; the bruising still very much present.
Nessim is stilling next to them at the table, in a way that accommodates his leg injury. Empty plates and cups scattered about in front of them. Kano is the first to address you all with a small wave, "Hey, just wanted to make sure you made it... or not. Castellan's just gone to get the Governor."
"It's good to see you healthy and safe, Kano. We were a bit concerned back there...but you gave us a good excuse to leave the encampment!" Pimster exclaims.

If Tengar still looks in poor condition, Karib will also offer his assistance.
Tengar:
(( Just let me know if another Cure is needed ))
(The night sky is now being lifted into an inky blue signifying dawn is not far away - it's around 5.
Pimster would've gotten a Short Rest.)

When the group leaves, Pimster again transforms into the mastiff 'pet' of the group.
