Acher's head and shoulders sink. "I don't like it...We are vulnerable here. But we are just as vulnerable as we wander, aimless. I don't like this. I am just a guard." Without another word, he wanders off and begins to patrol the vicinity.
‘I’m glad that we are all okay and all but is anyone else as concerned about the mist that closed on on us before our fight? I mean, that’s not normal’ Bruno says as he eyes everyone pitching to set up a place to rest. ‘Well if anyone needs any magic help and stuff I’m here just let me know’
Boil takes a minute to reflect on the fog and says, “I am feeling like the fog was the vehicle that transported us to a reality slightly skewed from normal. I wonder is the little gully dwarf is indeed an evil mastermind of great power…” He laughs a bit at the thought, but then realizes it is entirely possible. A person can’t judge the power of magic by the vessel in which it is contained. Boil will volunteer for a second watch and will shut his eyes in the mean time, once the shelter is satisfactory. He will cast bonfire once more to ensure his comrades have enough light and warmth to rest.
"So it would seem that myself and Acher are on first watch." Says Quin from his perch nearby. "Since Razaniel is still in no shape to travel we regretfully will have to stay here. Probably until morning at least. So let us plan accordingly. Who shall take the other watches?"

Kwami will take second or third watch, whenever he is needed. When not on duty he will lay on the ground near the fire, resting his head on his pack and trying to get a little sleep.

Yoli finishes up the ritual cast of Detect Magic, and scans the area traces or for clues as to the nature of the magic that animated the wolves. He also directs his owl to fly high and look from above.

He announces "I'll take 3rd watch" before settling in near the fire, and under the shelter.
As Yoli finishes his cast of Detect Magic, his head begins to throb. He is overwhelmed by the presence of magic. It is everywhere. It is as if the very fabric of reality is magic. From the distant west, Yoli feels the strongest presence.
The night was uneventful. It is brighter outside, but not quite daylight. There doesn't seem to be a sun rising in the east. As your rest comes to an end, and breakfast is being prepared, you begin to hear noises in the distance - it seems to be coming from the western direction of the road. There are a few different voices - and they seem to either be singing or yelling at each other. At this distance it is hard to tell.
With all the strange happenings of the last day, can you truly trust your instincts anyway?
DMN:
Prior Post: Perception AC 10 If you made the check, you believe the noise is roughly a half mile west of your current position. Also, It does not appear to be moving.
@Shobob No sign of Scat anywhere. For clarity, the laugh as the wolves disappeared was certainly not the same sound as Scat.
@MrJanuary The terrain is the foothills of a mountain range that stands to your east. It is very rocky (so caves are possible), and scattered with pine trees. The road does head that way, but it all gets lost in the distant fog. I knew I was not going to attack you while you rested, so I didn't give time for the cave idea to play out. Apologies.
"This place is absolutely buzzing with magical energy, but it seems to be even stronger to the west. Could it be that it's related to the strange sounds we hear from that direction too?

Yoli would like to do an arcana check to determine the nature of the magic.
Kwami awakes with the dawn, stretches, and packs up his bedroll. He goes to check on Razaniel. He will find a quiet place nearby to recite his morning prayers, thanking the Morninglord for preserving them through the night, and he will then prepare his spells for the day.

Boil yawn widely and stretch’s his arms into the sky. After a few seconds he remembers where they are an will look to the sky and treetops to see if there are any crows
Acher awakens looking about nervously. He prays to St. Cuthbert until he is calm enough to take breakfast and speak with the others, "I trust there were no disturbances while we slept?" He is soon restless again, resuming his patrol. From the west side of the camp, he rushes back to the center, "Voices!". He points a finger to his lips and then to the west.
Stretching and gathering his things Quin says in response to Achers discovery. Well I guess we have a couple choices then. Toward or away? I vote toward. We need information. They have it. That simple. Course we might lose.our heads in the process but at least then we'll know, ehh. " He playfully pokes an elbow into the nearest companions ribs.
The cleric says, "We need to find some sort of civilization in order to find out where we are, and to restock supplies. Roads usually lead somewhere; we should follow it toward the voices."

Yoli nervously paces in despair at knowing that there was no choice but to follow the road towards the mysterious voices. "I would prefer to not go towards those voices, but I don't know what else to do."
