Temple of Ishassara

Judas looks up from his hands which are being tied:

”I’ve seen a place like that.” He says. “When I got lost, I found a large temple in the thick of the jungle. I was driven away by wild life, and ended up here... I may be able to show you? Itsh the least I can do as a fanks for shaving me.”

“No mister Judas, we be dropping you off to camp with many small dwarf friends, like Chubby-friend! We be exploring island by ourselves, Gregor sure we will eventually find all places on island. You can be returning to civilization.” Gregor tries saying politely. 

He then turns to Crispy and subtlety drops 20 silver into her hand, and whispers into her ear. 

“The second he be shape shifting into scary creature, or blasting us with evil magic, you be owning Gregor 40.”

Crispy snorts. "You're gonna get rich off of me. Lets get this over with, he's giving me the creeps, and not in a good way." 

"O-oh, please! It's the b-best way I can r-repay you for shaving my life! I swear I will be of use. However, returning to shivilization shounds good too..."

"Dusties and Ickies! As in undead and slimy abomination things." Nia explained with a grin.

It's getting late, so you see Judas lay down, still tied, near the fire place using his back pack as a pillow. He slowly looks around at you all and emits a small, soft and warm happy grin before closing his eyes.

Crispy's eyes narrow at the behavior. Since she is first shift, she unloads a little of her armor, allowing her to get a bit more comfortable. She watches Judas carefully, still wary. She takes time to clean her blades, polish her brass knuckles, and count the coins in her purse, saying goodbye to them as she has a very good feeling she's going to lose a bet with the halforc. As the rest of the party sleeps, she stays alert while being occupied, stretching out the sore muscles and making sure everything stays limber.

"Dusties and Ickies." She snorts in laughter and smiles gently as Nia sleeps, amused at the nickname and the innocence of her youth. She grew a bit more fond for her, as at one time in the rogue's life, someone cared about her and looked out for her. Commander Halifax was no joke. He was the one who found her in that alley. He trained her and worked with her for countless hours, for many years, saw her through many promotions. He was merciless but, yet, understanding. She would never admit it, but when she got fired after the death of her partner, it was Halifax she disappointed the most when he found out about her lewd, unethical behaviors. Her smile vanishes and for a moment she stood still, remembering, in the few times in her life that she remembered caring about anything, how much it hurt in her heart to let down the Commander, and to lose the father figure he was, and the wisdom he had.

The campfire burned a little less bright for her that night.

Crispy, on first watch, roll perception please =)

(OOC: Each watch will roll a perception check)

Oh god dammit, I'm gonna owe Gregor money, I KNEW it.

Perception: 19

She suddenly senses something....off.....?

Good to know.

Your watch is uneventful. You hear the feint dripping of water from the hole in the wall and every now and then a cold draft passes through the room. You notice that Judas sleeps extremely quietly.

As Nia slept an odd procession of expressions crossed over her features, and the eyes under her lids glowed briefly red. This seemed not to disturb the girl's sleep as she continued to make soft hrrrm-hrrrm-hrrrrrm snores through it all.

(Feel free to wake the next person on watch once you're done Crispy. Nobody chose except Gregor, so you get to choose watch 2 =P)

"Ding, fries are done." Crispy mumbles as her watch is over, noticing how quietly Judas sleeps. Deciding on whom to wake up, as Gregor had the THIRD shift, she looks over the crew. Lets see. I'll let Nia sleep. That snoring is soothing. God forbid she wakes up Liam from his beauty sleep since he's a caster and whatever. I guess that leaves The Chubb.

She walks over to him, gently using her heel to nudge him awake. "Your turn, Chub."

Groggily, Chubby wakes up. Feeling his former immense strength having returned, he excitedly gets up and begins to sharpen his axe blade. Periodically, he glances around at the rest of the crew, sleeping soundly around him. Smiling broadly, he’s feeling at home amongst these fine adventurers.

He casually practices some double swings of his axe, working on his dual attack skill, all the while listening intently to the environment around them:

Perception check: 24

OOC: Cha-ching! Nat 20.

Your brain itches as you don't normally hear the footfalls of mere ants, but tonight, your senses are particularly honed. Your watch is uneventful.

Roll to snore: 5

Sleeping soundly. About time.

Gregor’s turn! 

Perception: 6

Okay on my screen it’s basically giving me an error message for the first perception roll. I’ll do it again, DM if you can see it, you can use whichever roll. 

Second Perception Roll because the first ones being weird: 17

Its giving me another “cannot parce Roll message.” I’ll check again later, for now I’ll give a short narration of Gregor’s watch. 

Gregor waits until he can hear the soft snoozing of his teammates, and once he determines everyone’s breathing is even enough, Gregor will pull out the cursed axe from his backpack, careful to grip it by the towel. 

He holds it to the fire, studying it in the dying ember hues, and softely mutters “...Soon, half lidded eyes slowly moving to the still figure of Judas, softely twirling the axe around and around in his hands. 

After his uneventful watch, Chubby walks up to his buddy Gregor, wakes him up, tells him quietly that he didn't sense any danger during his watch duty, and then rapidly goes asleep as Gregor takes over his shift.

 Before bedding down for the night, Liam volunteers for the fourth watch.

When it comes time for his watch, he spends some of his time going through his spellbook while keeping his eyes and ears open.

Perception: 18

"HA!"
