Yadz opens his eyes, and stretches out his muscles which are stiff after so long meditating. As he looks up towards the treetops he spots the pillar of smoke. This sign of inhabitance spurs him into action, he jumps to his feet and starts making his way towards where the fire appears to be.
With a slight spring in your step, and hope that this might be something good, you make your way over to the source of the smoke. After a few minutes of walking, you come across a small campsite, with someone sitting by the that's fire creating the signal you saw.
*Imma use Calo's description of Moon, if that's alright XD*
The person sitting around the campfire appears to be a small eldarin winter elf child. She looks very young, about 9 years of age. In the warm light, her light blue skin gets a small purplish undertone, and her white hair, cut in a short, childish bob, glimmers like icicles in the morning sunlight. She has no visible irises, so it's hard to tell where she looking. Fidgeting with something on her silver prosthetic arm absentmindedly, she seems alert and slightly solemn.
*I don't blame you, it's a great description*
Yadz pauses at the edge of the campsite, watching. The girl doesn't seem like a threat. He tries to tidy himself up, brushing the dirt off his clothes and running a hand through his messy hair, and then clears his throat. "Erm..hi?"
*Agreed*
As you start your greeting, you hear a rustle and a scutter up in a nearby tree. Make a perception check, along with any actions Yadz would take after hearing this.
*I'm just gonna quote this for now, combine two into one*
*also thank you ahahdkffkl*
Moon's Perception! 11
Moon looks up, peering through the branches for wht may have caused the sound, before shouldering the bag she found, pocketing the knife and flint, and running away.... only to stop as Yadz arrives. She turns just her head around to look at him with silvery eyes. Moving her head almost imperceptibly, she motions for him to follow her as she scurries off a little bit away from the campsite. Ideally, she picks a spot to sit down that still keeps the camp in eyesight, but is far away enough for her to hide among the trees if needed.
*Sorry didn't see this*
Yadz still picks up a branch but instead of yelling towards the noise he nods at Moon and follows her, keeping guard
You both find a place to stop, behind a nice bunch of trees that allow you to still see the campsite in between them. Neither of you were able to see what was making that noise, but you both definitely heard it.

Moon sits down at the base of a tree, her eyes still on the campsite. She offers Yadz a small wave, the silver metal of her prosthetic clinking and whirring gently.

All of a sudden, the fire goes out. The rustling is heard again, it sounds like something just scurried down the other side of the tree that you heard the sounds coming from, down the side you can't see.

Yadz waves back, giving Moon a small smile. He points to the mechanical limb. "Nice arm! I'm Yadz by the way, nice to meet you". He sits down next to her, awkwardly folding his gangly arms and legs into a crossed position.

"I'm Moon, good to meet you." She looks at her arm, then back at Yadz. "Thanks, my uncle Jan made it. He says it's just brass painted silver because it helps keep my arm clean. I like your stick." She nods to the stick that he has in his hand.
Yadz startles. He brandishes the stick again and looks to Moon. "You hear that?"
Eyes growing wide again, she peers through the trees to where the noise was last heard. She nods her head, whispering a very quiet, "Mhm. What is it?"

Off to both of your rights, someone else seems to be arriving. She obviously saw the smoke signal before it went out, because she's looking at the fire. She wears normal clothes underneath simple armor plating, and appears to be about 15 or 16. In her hands is a hunter's bow, but she doesn't have it drawn. And she's walking relatively casually, not seeing either of you two or whatever made those sounds.
You hear another rustle. This time, it's in a tree nearer the new arrival, but she still doesn't seem to notice.
*New arrival:*

*If only I had stayed up a little later, I would have been able to bring you two together*
Yadz, having now finished his rest and regained the majority of his energy, finishes his meditation. (Unless you don't want to, that is). Ahead, he can see a rising pillar of smoke, maybe a mile off.
Moon, sitting by her campfire, is waiting to see if anyone sees her smoke signal. But she's not fully aware of what other things she might be luring in too. A rustle and a scutter up in a nearby tree can be faintly heard. Make a perception check, along with any actions moon would take after hearing this.
Samson, having climbed down from the apple tree with 4 red fruits in his arms, starts to feel a little groggy. Make a Con save.
*Hey Baalz, check this first*

You feel a little sick, but it's not too bad, it's probably just from the dullness of this place.

Sam is looking around for someone to eat or something to bully. Wait, scratch that, reverse it.

Time to look for something to do and not eat apples. Assuming Sam survives.
Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.
The apple tastes great, and makes you feel great too! You no longer feel any kind of sickness, and gain 5 temporary hit points.
That light you saw is still on the horizon, and a little way off to your left there seems to be... a low lying cloud? Or maybe it's smoke?
