Jane and Zerxius pass their shifts in a heightened state of alert. Both of you notice just how utterly silent it is. Aside from the crackle of the fire and sounds of your companions resting, nothing moves through the landscape. Not a deer, not the hoot of an owl or the rustle of a rabbit in the underbrush. It's strange.
You both feel unnerved by the forest however as if it's closing in around you. As if the very trees are somehow....watching you.
Hogshead takes over his shift, still bleary and unfocused from sleep, but feeling better than when he started the day.
As the burly, beardless dwarf settles in for the last watch he hears distinct movement, the sound of something approaching from the darkness.
Summary and Action
Hogshead, yer up. Everyone else is asleep. Noises from the darkness 70 ft north of camp.
Hoghead notches a bolt in his crossbow. He nudges Drax with his toe to wake him up. "Sorry to wake you up but there's noise coming from out there." Hoghead points in the direction of the sound. "Can you either send one of your drift globes out there or light my crossbow bolt so I can shoot it out there and we'll see what's what?
Drax grumbles incoherently at being awoke so abruptly. After taking a moment to get his bearings used his newly acquired driftglobe to imbue Hoghead’s crossbow with light.
(Not sure if it’s possible but I would also like to have the driftglobe giving off light as well and send it in the direction indicated. Though from what I understand it just follows me around and light can only be on one object at a time.)
Hoghead screams to wake up his companions as he charges at the three shadows. He swings his war hammer at the first one he gets to. Attack: 19 Damage: 4
Hogshead's hammer smashes the first of the shadows into an explosion of moss, twig, and leaves. As it disintegrates dark, blackish-green smoke explodes from the rotted collection of vegetation that makes up the corpse.
Drax follows close behind, swinging his axe at one of the other dark shadows Attack: 7 Damage: 4
Summary and Action Con Save DC 10 from Hogshead (with advantage from Dwarven resilience) or poisoned, please.
Drax Con save (if needed) 27
Need rolls from anyone else who's getting in the fight.

Bree's eyes fly open when Hogshead screams out. She pushes into a sitting position and looks around frantically, trying to get her bearings in the dark.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Seeing two shadowy figures attacking Hogshead, Bree leaps to her feet and snatches up her pair of daggers. With a battle cry, she runs forward and swipes at the nearest shadowy monster with both of her daggers.

The light from the crossbow bolt floats off into the darkness, illuminating nothing but shadows....
Until the shadows lurch forward, closing in on the driftglobe hovering over Drax.
