You emerge from the cave to a view overlooking a verdant valley. By estimating the position of the suns, you determine that you are facing east. Knowing that the fortress is about a day and a half journey west of your position (from what you were told by Svelta), you find an easy path and begin climbing over the mountain from which you emerged. After a short trek, you find yourselves on the top of the mountain surrounded by hills and valleys. Do you want to make camp here, attempt to find a better campsite, or keep moving onward towards the fortress?
"...at worst if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
OOC: wondering whether Primeval Awareness can detect any one or all of the listed types of creatures? [As an action, you can expend one ranger spell slot (1 minute per level of spell slot) to sense whether any aberrations, celestials, dragons, elementals, fey, fiends, or undead are present within 1 mile of you (or within up to 6 miles if you are in your favored terrain).]
OOC: I'd say you can detect all of them and tell what type, or you could check for a certain type. You could not detect exactly what, where, or how many; just that they are close. However, the list does not include beasts, plants, constructs, giants, or monstrosities.
Given this, you still do not detect anything nearby.
"Guys, I'm going out to look for old, dry firewood. Can anyone think of other ways to reduce smoke & does anyone want to go with me? And does anyone have a hand ax we could borrow?"
"I'll help you gather firewood Prim," Taxidea says.

Okay. So, you set up camp, building a fire with minimal smoke. The suns set and you get into your bedrolls for the night. The first watch goes by without any incident. Who has the second watch?

You don't see anything amiss, although you do see the wagon tracks from where Aliena's wagon entered the cave.
Onward (!)

Orion says, "Let's camp here, in an out-of-the way nook where we won't be seen."
"I'll agree with that. Can we obscure our tracks? We know at least the drow use this passage."
Orion sets about sweeping and obscuring the tracks of the group, and uses his Primeval Awareness to detect any aberrations within a mile.
Prim will help set up camp & get dinner. Digging a hole to obscure the fire.
'I heard there are woods that burn without smoke. Any around here? I'll take last watch."
Orion, you do not detect any aberrations. Prim, most of the trees are coniferous, like spruce and pine. Roll a Nature check.
Taxidea helps however he can.

Orion offers to take first watch.

Nature check = 6
All you remember, Prim, is that older, dry wood is better for a fire.

Taxidea can take second watch.
"...at worst if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
Orion nods to Taxidea as they change guard.
Okay, Taxidea. While you are standing watch, you notice a very large boulder which appears to have a face on it.
"Whoa. Uh...hey there Rocky." Taxidea says.
