We are also to try to rescue someone named Leosin Erlanthar. Pops has a choker that belongs to him, in hopes that it might help to identify him him, either by magic or because he recognizes it.
Looking around, Dawn does spot one fire up the path a short ways by only a couple tents that doesn't currently seem to have anyone attending it; it has started to die down as a result, not having had any wood added recently. Presumably the raiders the tents belong to are off somewhere else in the camp, probably celebrating as most of the people in view are doing, with copious amounts of alcohol and revelry
(By the 2 tents pretty much right in the center of the picture)
"Let's head over to that fire and talk." Dawn says pointing. When we get there I will put a few more logs on to revive the fire. I will also keep a 3 or 4 foot branch close by (if I can find one) which I soak the top few inches in oil (does that use the full flask?).
Dawn searches around the campfire after adding some logs to build it up and finds a likely looking stick, about 3 feet long, then douses the end with oil from a flask.
(Wouldn’t need the whole flask. We’ll say about 1/5 if it to soak it well. Leaves you plenty, but it’ll reduce the effectiveness if you throw it/douse someone/douse an area on the ground to light)

I added a note in my equipment (I still have 4 full flasks)
(If the plan is to cook food and share it to try to draw the right kind of attention, how do you plant o tell the difference between people after food and the original attendees of the fire? :P)
Once the fire is burning nicely again, you start some food cooking, hoping to discretely draw some of the raiders over to talk to. The lack of alcohol to accompany the food means that most of the raiders ignore your fire, as most of the camp is busy getting drunk and celebrating the raid. Eventually though, a man staggers over, having clearly been enjoying the celebration. He sits at an empty spot around the fire and asks, "Got any extra to spare?"
"It's never enough, is it?" the raider replies. "Otherwise we wouldn't have to keep going on larger and larger raids like this. I brought out quite a lot this time though. Could barely carry the bags."

"So what are we doing here again? I have forgotten."

We are to scout the camp and report back - location and size of the camp, who their leaders are, and motivation for the attack of the keep.

"That sounds like a good idea. People are celebrating. If we cook some food and share it might draw the right kind of attention."

"Do we have to share? I am rather hungry."

The man takes the food and starts eating. "How much did you guys bring out today?" he asks after a few bites.
Not enough, I'm afraid. How 'bout you?"
"It's never enough, is it?" the raider replies. "Otherwise we wouldn't have to keep going on larger and larger raids like this. I brought out quite a lot this time though. Could barely carry the bags."
Heard any rumors about how many more raids till we have enough?
