For what it's worth though, Jess wants to use extreme caution and only speak the plan when she feels very reasonably sure that no one can be listening in
Corvus walks with the group to receive the reward. He listens to their interaction with the guard, but stays silent until they are out of the town. “Well, now that we are far enough away from most prying ears, I agree with the lady. Let us discuss our plan of action. Gwen mentioned a secret path into the manor. However, she did say that her brother knows about it. That said, what is the likelihood that this path will be guarded or at least trapped?” He directs this last part to Gwen.
”I hope everyone brought some way of making a bed like a bedroll. Because we won’t make it to that mountain inn place without at least one day of camping out here in the woods. But yes, I would hope to loot the abandoned manor before we head that way.”
Kocino keeps his voice low. “Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe we were going to rest and go try to sneak in the hidden entrance you told us about.”
Drezmir nods to the guard and taps his right fist to the left side of his chest in a salute before following Gwen out of the city.
When Gwen stops and asks them what the plan is, Drez nods to Kocino. "That was the plan, do you think it is safe to proceed right now? You mentioned potential traps earlier, but do you think it will be guarded now? From what we gathered, it was Simon who wanted us to leave in the first place. Would it be possible for him to take measures against us, to prevent us from using the secret entrance since he likely knows you are helping us?"
Jess tries her best (in town before) to talk in town when she felt it was safe. (Her passive perception 13 to perceive if anyone may be listening in) while being as sneaky as she could manage. (10 Stealth)
Gwen looks to Corvus at this would be camping spot.
"He knows of it sure but.. He hasn't been to it in ages. We used to sneak out as kids. It could be guarded or even trapped but I'm not sure, I haven't seen him use it in ages."
Gwen looks to Vex for a moment.
"You all planned to go to the Mountain Side Inn? That's a few more hours from here and could make the trip back to Glazing Wind a little longer tomorrow."
Gwen looks to Kocino and nods.
"That's the plan! I mean.. Only if you want to. You don't owe Glazing Wind anything really. If you felt this wasn't you're battle than.. Well than I would understand."
Gwen looks over to Drez and nods.
"Yes, he may even take precautions and attack us tonight if he knows more than I was aware of. I can stand guard tonight, tomorrow me and my men will create a distraction at the manor itself. I'll try to talk to them as a distraction but.. If it turns to a brawl that is okay as well. It might make you're entrance that much cleaner. Now for tonight I'd only suggest those who only require a shorter rest to guard with me. As for those resting I'd recommend to try and hide while you do so. I know it's terrible to say but you never know honestly. I could be over worrying for nothing but still.."
"So you will not be accompanying us into the passage?" Drezmir asks. He'd been under the impression that Gwen would be leading them through the passage, though it does make sense for her to stage a distraction outside. "Will you be meeting us in the manor? Or is that not possible. I am wondering because it might be beneficial to have you with us when we speak to Simon. He may be more willing to listen to us if you are there."
He looks to Gilded, "Take a long rest then, I think we should have time. I do not need a rest at all really, the short rest we took before returning to town was enough for me. So, I can stand guard."
Sloden ponders the circumstance. "Going all the way to the inn on the Mountain Path is... A significant waste of hours. I would suggest we camp, but it needs to be someplace we won't be found. But did I hear that veering from the path was dangerous?"
Gwen frowns slightly almost a little heart broken when Drezmir had asked if she could come.
"I.. Wish I could but my men are so outnumbered they'd need me to stage a distraction. I'm sorry, however if you want help inside Robin's men should be in the dungeon.
Gwen looks at Drezmir and ponders his idea for a manor.
"Meet you inside? I'd have to be able to break through the front gate and make it inside.. To talk to SImon with you? I'm not sure, we'd have to revamp the plan a bit. My men can't distract well enough without getting slaughtered if I can't shield them. I suppose it's up to you guys what we do on this matter."
Gwen looks to Sloden.
"Veering from the path is dangerous I'm afraid, but the guards wouldn't find us as easily for sure. It may be trading one danger from another. And traveling the mountain side inn I must admit, the mountain has a few dangerous beast. Though wherever we sleep is up to you guys. It seems our good friend Vex has already decided to rest here however."
She giggles as Vex rolls up a bed roll already to head to bed. He hadn't worried about the groups plan or even tomorrow. He had this air of... As if he knew they were going to win tomorrow. It was naive in a way for sure but seeing one person not stress out so bad helped Gwen relax a little.
OOC: Kocino can help watch for 2 of the 8 hours of long rest as it's considered light activity. But if he engages in any combat and such he won't gain the benefits.
Is GIlded guarding 2 hours and long resting? Or just guarding the whole night??
Drez,Corvus,Gwen are guarding throughout the night ^^

I thought we were already at over 800 if my calculations are correct
Ah it appears that I misread on bit of XP

Kocino looks at the scrapes and bruises he got throughout the day. “I need the rest, but I can still help keep watch for a few hours.”
As we are leaving town, Gilded stops by the armorer to sell all the weapons and armor he has been accumulating.
I really do not need a short rest. I would have to take a long rest to gain any benefit anyway, so I will stand guard with you."
"So you will not be accompanying us into the passage?" Drezmir asks. He'd been under the impression that Gwen would be leading them through the passage, though it does make sense for her to stage a distraction outside. "Will you be meeting us in the manor?

Corvus nods to Gwen. This is what he expected, but it never hurt to be sure.
"I do not need to rest either. If any of you wish to do so, I can stand guard as well."
Gilded replies with "I will pray and rest, but if you need me, you only need to call."
Jess will take a long rest wherever others are taking one.
At the camping spot, Vex rolls out his bedroll in an empty place and takes a long rest. He needs sleep.
Sloden ponders the circumstance. "Going all the way to the inn on the Mountain Path is... A significant waste of hours. I would suggest we camp, but it needs to be someplace we won't be found. But did I hear that veering from the path was dangerous?"

Jess can help relieve someone if she can still get a long rest in, which she badly needs.
