Krayne even with your darkvision you can only make out the shapes of trees on either side of the wagon as it pushes through a smattering of trees into another open field. You did not understand Baltus' exchange with the other Stokkr villager either!

Ooc:

Perception at disadvantage: 13

d100 guessing low: 44

Ursal you see shapes but nothing beyond that. Even Baltus' lantern hanging on the cart doesn't seem to shed light beyond the horses directly in front of the cart.

Viktor looks bedraggled, the trip has not been kind. As the cart approaches the village, Viktor perks up a little listening to the exchange between the villager and Baltus.

Roll for understanding, low guess: 26

(OOC: if Viktor fails to know the language, I would like to use his [Tooltip Not Found] that he wares hidden under his hood and behind his horns. hopefully he could catch the tail end of the exchange)

Viktor looks about at the village and surrounding countryside as the cart continues on its way to the Gunnulf's farm.

Perception (with disadvantage):5

(OOC: that was supposed to be Helm of Comprehending Languages, not that it matters now, i used the wrong tool-tip tags)

Viktor falls asleep almost as soon as the cart moves on around the town, overcome by the journey.

OOC: Your helm would have helped but you were asleep when they approached the village. You have one point of exhuastion from pushing on through the night and have disadvantage on saves, skill checks, and attacks.

Viktor turns over in his sleep, dreaming about arriving at the village of Stokkr, and of strange unknown languages, spoken in the dark.

(OOC: it was all a dream! :P )

Reaching the Gunnulf's farmhouse you find a well built house made of timbers and a barn not far away from it. The moon barely shines and you will notice more in the morning you're sure. Baltus wakes Brida as an older woman comes from the farmhouse which is light up from the inside. She waits on the poarch wearing an apron and a stern expression.

"Everyone out," Batlus then says. "We'll figure out sleeping arrangements inside," he adds next as Brida nods sleepily along going towards the older woman who embraces Brida as Baltus leads the horses and wagon to the barn.

OOC: What is everyone doing? I'll except another perception/investigation check but remember you're dight limits in the dark.

Ursal notices that the party is somewhat alone. He watches Brida and Baltus accompany a woman into the farmhouse.

While unloading his gear, he whispers a warning to his colleagues.

"I didn't want to say anything until we were alone from our hosts. I'm from around these parts so I speak a little of the language you may have heard when we passed Stokrr. Baltus told the town watch that we were here to help solve their problem. Let's just say our presence didn't inspire confidence among the town watch. I don't know you all too well yet, but you seem just as capable as I hope I do. Personally, the best revenge for the slight we were dealt by the town watch would be to succeed at our task without fanfare. I'm not in this for fame and fortune, and I get the impression you all aren't either. Still, I don't like being the butt of a joke to which I wasn't privy."

OOC: Perception for future use: 20. [Edit: ouch, I guess the slight hit Ursal more than he let on. He's seething with anger and fails to recognize something.] 

Ursal puts his gear away and goes directly to bed wherever he's directed to do so. At first light, before anyone else wakes up, he will storm out of the farmhouse, take up his crossbow and hunt/gather. 

"You are right, of course, the glory is nothing, ridding the village of the evil is all that matters, but it is good to know what the locals think nonetheless".

Krayne takes a good look around the farmstead, looking to familiarise himself with the layout and to see if anything seems out of the ordinary. 

Perception 11

"We will need to rest too, I think our hosts need rest more, especially the girl, so we should probably try to stay up one at a time and patrol, so nobody falls asleep standing watch" 

Viktor looks at the others bleary eyed, you cant be sure just how much he is following the conversation.

"yeah...just kill the monster and be done......I'm...where is...where are we sleeping tonight?"

Viktor staggers off towards the house as Krayne begins to talk of setting another watch for the night. it would seem he is too tired to keep up with you guys.

(OOC: if no one directs Viktor to a place to sleep, I'm ok with finding him, in the morning, asleep in some random part of the farm stead, still in all his cloths and gear, snoring)

Rasmus apologies to the party reaching the Gunnulf's farmhouse and explains he's been foolish to come. He's not the kind of monster hunter he realizes the Gunnulf's need and insists he'll be fine to walk to town for the night before returning to Hagar in the morning.

All of the party unloads from the cart and goes into the house settling into a fine meal that Brida's housekeeper Sybil, she introduces herself, has cooked awaiting your arrival. Although she's an older woman she looks strong and hearty. She's seen hard work most of her life but she's been taken care of too. After tucking into the table everyone begins to eat as Baltus returns from stabling the horses. Viktor seems to be falling asleep in his stew while Brida nods off occasionally too.

"Where's Jolly," Baltus asks Sybil with a frown.

The old woman glaces at Brida before answering Baltus, "Left I'm afraid. He figured without the sheep to sell there wouldn't be any money to pay him with come market day," she explained next as Baltus grimaces.

"Show's him right," Baltus gripes into his stew. "I was thinking of catching some of the wild horses near the White Waste," he then says with a sudden confidence. "I bet I could catch a few and break them before market day," he adds before a sudden howling catching the entire room off guard.

Whatever it, it its large and very, very close....

Brida and Baltus both bolts upright from their seats as Sybil gives a small yelp sound.

What do you do? 

Viktor wakes up when the Howling starts, having fallen asleep at the table.

"wha?! uh? um...what is that?!"

Viktor seems just a little more alert than when you arrived, but the alertness begins to give way to the exhaustion again within seconds.

Viktor listens to the howling and attempts to identify it.

(OOC: Viktor is just trying to workout if he knows of a creature that makes the given sound)

Arcana (with disadvantage): 14
History (with disadvantage): 3
Nature (with disadvantage): 4

Viktor you're unsuccessful with your attempts to identify the creature by sound.

OOC: I roll knowledge nature to determine if the sound is an animal or not (meaning, something worse).

Nature: 13 (If perception is the better skill, my blood hunter allows me to have advantage of checks that rely on hearing. Perception at advantage: 15)

Ursal drops his spoon into his stew, sloshing it onto the table. Without a word, he runs to grab both his great axe and javelin.

Krayne turns to the sound, pausing for only a moment, he slides the shield from across his back into a more battle ready position, touches his holy symbol at his neck and lets a greater smile play across his face. 

"I never did like waiting much anyway, shall we see what the visitor wants?"

Perception 13

Nature 8

Viktor gets to his feet and collects his gear, noticeable slower than his energetic companions.

mumbling under his breath "dam monsters, cant anyone get some rest!"

to everyone "well lets go get this, good for nothing, inconsiderate, waste of life (or undeath)!"

Ursal rushes back into the room, great axe in hand. There's a small amount of blood already on the blade, and blood drips slowly onto the leather grip of the greataxe.

OOC: Just to help move things along, I expect we will need to roll initiative, so here's mine.

Initiative: 14

And just in case I go first and it's truly and evil/undead/not animal creature, here's my combat:

Movement: Move up to 30 feet to be in melee.

Bonus action: Use crimson rite to empower my weapon [yes, there will be some explaining to do afterwards but need to use magic most likely]

HP reduced by: 3 due to crimson rite.

Action: Attack with greataxe using great weapon master feat and great weapon fighting style. 

To hit roll: Attack: 16 (if I crit, I get bonus attack but not this round, as I used crimson rite as bonus action)

Damage (just in case - I always roll my damage dice, whether or not I hit): 15 (I re-roll 1s and 2s)

Crimson rite damage: 4

I will total it once rolls are complete with an [edit remark].

Total: 19 points magical damage (looks like I rolled max damage!)

Initiative roll (with disadvantage): 12

Viktor will cast Disguise Self (Mask of Many Faces Invocation) and make himself appear as a completely black amorphous humanoid to help him hide in the dark
(OOC: if the DM is ok with this, would i be able to go from disadvantage to just normal roll for stealth? its fine if I'm still to exhausted to get any advantage from the black camo)

 Viktor will then attempt to become hidden before going outside

if the exhaustion is still to much to overcome:
Stealth (with disadvantage): 8

else

if the black camo can help overcome the exhaustion:
Stealth: 21

 (OOC: lol the rolls)

Initiative 22

Eyes blazing with radiant light Krayne steps out to meet his foe. Squaring his shoulders he calls out "No mercy for the Wicked!"

OOC bonus action is to cast Oath of Enmity using my Channel Divinity ability, giving me advantage on attack roles for a minute.
