"Um... does Jade know what kind of undead?" Katarina asks nervously.
"I'm afraid not, she's able to sense their presence readily, not so much the type. Knowing they're here gives us advantage enough."
While they're all cllustered at the foot of the slope, Eila stops back a moment to say a quiet verse and touches Katarina on the shoulder, casting Guidance. She resists the temptation to pat down some of the bristled-up fur. "I'm sure you're perfectly good at climbing, but I've a duty to aid where I can," she says, and she stows her hammer and shield so as to have her hands free to help herself scramble up the rocks.
Survival: 16 [OOC: Katarina, be sure to add 1d4 to one of your next rolls!]
The party proceeds forward, Jade calming the animals with encouraging words and sounds. Meanwhile, Katarina shows the party how to navigate the loose shale and debris from the mountain. It's not enough however to save Millicent from slowing the party down as her mule, not wanting to keep up, fights the warlock with each step up the ascent! It takes until dusk for the party to reach the cliff edge with the cavern inside. It looks large enough as Elliðaey described to camp comfortably as well as hobble the mounts to prevent them from wandering off the mountain in the dark!
OOC Who would like to check out the cavern? Who would like to build a camp? Who would like to hobble the mounts? Elliðaey and Niske will give the help action for advantage on the investigation check for the cavern and Niska will help with the camp.

As much as she doesn't really want to do it and potentially meet undead horrors... Katarina volunteers to explore the cavern, since she can see in the dark and she's probably the toughest member of the party.
"Though if anyone wants to come with Katarina, she wouldn't mind the company!" the feline quickly says as she prepares to enter the cave.

Millicent is extremely embarrassed about the intractability of her mount and has a long conversation with the hinny about how she thought they had an understanding....though the animal seems unimpressed by her entreaties.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"Before you go, take my sight." Eila begins to speak a verse in a plea to her deity as she walks between Katarina and Millicent, brushing bits of stray grit off her shoulders from the unexpectedly difficult climb as she goes. She covers her own eyes with her hands for a moment, then touches them each on the forehead. When next they blink, they open their eyes to find themselves able to pick out even the more distant shadows. "Now you see how I can see. It'll only last the hour though."
[OOC: That's Eyes of Night. You both now have darkvision extending out to 300ft]
She then heads to the animals to unload their bedrolls and supplies, calling over to Niska, "If you would help lay out these bedrolls and set up camp I'd appreciate it. I'll try to get a fire going. The light and smoke won't attract undead any more than simply being here does, but it might keep animals at bay." Eila then starts gathering what few twigs and sticks have fallen near the mouth of the cave in the hope there's enough for a small fire to keep the party warm.
[Survival if desired, w adv because Niska's help: 21]
Jade thinks she's secured the animals and returns to the campsite where Eila has build a fire but is having trouble keeping it lit. Eila isn't sure if it's the wood she's found which is rather sodden and decayed or her means of lighting it. It takes Niska's simple cantrip to lite it. The half-elf and Elliðaey them settle in for first watch allowing the others to rest.
OOC watch will be broken down into 2 more watches, 2nd and 3rd watch are left. It's up to y'all to figure out how you want to achieve this!

Jade turns to Eila, "Painbearer, if you and Milicent take last watch, then you can grant her your sight if there's a problem. Lady Katarina and I can take middle watch while you rest."
"On the other hand, it may be best to split our shields between shifts."
After laying out all the others, Eila situates her own bedroll as close as is reasonable to the mouth of the cave and angled towards it. She places her shield and hammer within arms reach, and doesn't remove any of her armour.
"I think it's best I stay with Millicent. Millicent, Katarina, did you see anything awry in the cavern?"
OOC Millicent and Katarina can make straight rolls for investigation or one PC can give the help action to the other giving them advantage on the investigation roll.
Elliðaey and Niska sit by the fire looking out into the slightly cramped space now full of both the party and their mounts. The mountain is still eerily silent but for a whisper of wind coming into the cavern and flickering in the flames of the small fire Niska tends. They converse but it's relatively simple. It's odd the mountain is so quiet but they remain on their guard for their watch and first watch passes without incident.
Elliðaey wakes Jade and Niska wakes Katarina for second watch. Niska reminds them to tend the fire and Elliðaey wishes them luck before they retire at opposite ends of the cavern. Elliðaey lays closer to Millicent and Niska settles next to Katarina's now empty bedroll.
Same as before with helo actions for watch. 1 person rolls with advantage, unless darkvisionless then it's just a straight roll, or 2 people have straight rolls with advantage or the dark vision less person gets disadvantage without help. Both 2nd and 3rd watch roll your perception checks for watch!

The wind picks up and the moaning outside the cavern unsettles the mounts. It's growing colder now with other damp rock around them. The cavern protects from most of the elements but not the eerie sound of the wind blowing outside as rain can be heard now. A drizzle at first then a down pour!

Millicent notices odd looking mushrooms growing in the nooks and crannies of the cavern. They are grey in color and seem to move with her movement or the movement of the party as if sensing them! There's also in the fartherest most cramped area of the cavern an opening! The opening is about 11 by 11inches tall and wide! It looks natural however odd.
