The night winds down, the three new additions to the caravan pitching in, and gradually getting more comfortable and less reserved about now being a part of a group they had initially been planning on robbing. Hanks and Garvey volunteer to join others on watch, but Bimmfur is yawning and seems tired out.

Whoopsie has been working on some repairs and tinkering (a safe distance from both the wagons, horses and the rest of you).

Dornikal will take a watch together with Hanks or Garvey, given they don't have the night eyes for it.

Randy expends a spell slot for primeval awareness.

Randy picks up on a draconic presence nearby.

Coljin gets his bedroll ready and hops in..."If you need me for a watch, awaken me."  

He then closes his eyes and tries to sleep.

Randy speaks to the watch crew.  "Don't go shooting blind.  There's something draconic around here.  If something big and scaly shows up, come and get me. Maybe I can talk it out of having us for supper."

He walks over to Evar. "Do you know of any other large beasts around here? I'm sensing something draconic close by..."

(does Ulmwin overhear this conversation at any point?) 

((If he's trying to alert the crew, I'd assume Randy has no reason to exclude Ulmwin.))

Ulmwin plays a sudden, sharp, false note once he hears Randy point out dragons might be close by. There is a very notable silence for a few seconds, before he continues playing.

"Dragons, huh? Yeah, best to be on guard. Must be real big I'm sure. Y'know, if the hydra and such were any indicator."

Dornikal, if he's awake, will put away the gem he's polishing and ask Randy,

"Direction?"

If he's asleep, he'll wake quickly when roused but remain still as he listens.

Randy shakes his head. "I can just sense it.  Can't tell how close or what direction. I just know that there's a draconic presence somewhere within 3 miles.  If it's a full grown one, that's closer than is comfortable without knowing it's temperament and intentions, which I also can't sense"

"Well, aye guess we just need to keep our eyes open. No much else we can do."

Dornikal says with a shrug.

The new recruits and the caravan folk are all on high alert, wanting to take turns keeping watch as well, if there is a dragon on the prowl.

The four responsible adults of the caravan stagger their watches, doubling up Vaduta with her mother Kayleera on first watch and Whoopsie with her father Brucho on second. Evar opts to take third watch with Garvey, and Uncle Boskin with Hank will round out the early morning watch. They promise to wake Bimmfur to join a watch, but its clear to everyone but him that they'll be letting him sleep.

((If you wish to join a watch, let me know which, and roll a Perception check, with advantage, having at least two other folks on watch during your watch time. Can also stagger watches, if you'd rather be offset by an hour.))

Dornikal would join Evar and Garvey, but unlike during the day, he'll be a silent watcher.

Perception w/advantage: 23

Randy will join with Hank and Boskin. 

Perception with advantage:16

Ulmwin would join a watch if there is a spot to be filled, but would otherwise just rest peacefully. He doesn't seem as worried about dragons for some reason. 

((There are no watches with no one, but you could join a watch with a couple NPCs if you wanted.))

He would join Vaduta and Kayleera, but not in a rush to claim dibs if anyone else wants to volunteer.

22

(I forgot the advantage but it doesn't matter!)

Ulmwin's watch with the ladies passes uneventfully, the night is crisp and clear, and he is able to do a bit of composition inspired by the constellations hanging far above the mountain air.
