"something tells me that's for the best. we may have overstayed our welcome."

((Peri, let's have an Animal Handling? Offer of food negates disadvantage, so flat roll?))

Animal handling: 11

Oh dear

Nothing comes out to take the food, but all three of you hear low, burbling growls echoing through the dark forest around you.

"Wait till morning?"

Thavriol backs slowly away from the trees.  "Yeah...let's be doin' that...from inside the hut."

The two of you, if you're returning to the camp, are able to do so without issue of getting lost, the glow of the fire provides a beacon to draw you back.

Peri, you see some of the reflected eyes wink out as they are disturbed by some sort of commotion... which reveals itself to be your companions returning.

"Did you see those? Sam, Thav- good to see you! Look, eyes!"

"where?"

Samael looks behind him for any evidence of Peri's claims.

13 perception

As Samael waits and watches, there are a few eyes that reflect the light back, though they are quiet for the moment.

Samael witnesses them. but doesn't move

"interesting..."

The eyes pull  back out of the reflected firelight, and there is a wet sounding yip and howl from that same direction. More howls sound, all coming from the same direction to the south of the camp.

"now we have a direction, and a cause to point by....." Samael keeps watch until his turn's over.

Nolla continues to sleep.

The rest of the night passes, the howling continues, from the south, with the occasional eyes visible and reflecting firelight, but none of the wolves otherwise reveal themselves. As dawn beings to break, the howling fades and eventually ceases and the camp begins to stir. 

Nolla wakes up as the "big spoon", the "little spoon" lumberjack a bit embarrassed, and trying to play it off that he just didn't want to wake you, but you get a sense it might be the safest he's felt in a while.

(lol)

Nolla gives the lumberjack a smile and is clearly not at all uncomfortable with the sleeping arangements. She does slip out of the bed though, needing to go and make sure her companions are all safe and sound. Grabbing up her gear she steps outside to get a report of what the others found the previous night.

Samael reports his observations

"Let's go see what we can in the mornin' light," the half-elf paladin says as he finishes donning his armor for the day.  "Then has some breakfast,"  With that, he head off in the direction of the eyes and sounds from the night before, being careful where he steps lest he destroy some tracks or something.

ooc: what should he roll?
