Xondario knows the two new comers were up to something as he had heard I have a plan, but Xondario had chosen to talk over the whispering incase whatever is watching could hear them too and wanted take it harder to ease drop. But that also meant Xondario didn't know either. Either way if there plan helped or hurt the group, it appears they were taking a shift before him own and decided to be up for thier watch as well.
(He will sleep the first two shifts to combat exhaustion but will be up the last 2, even if that only counts as a short rest for him. Mechanics wise he's fine without a long rest. He has only been joking with them, but he doesn't 100% trust them yet, maybe 85%!)
1: Jasmine and Jason (Since Jasmine requested 1st watch),
2. Armeros and Taxidea,
3. Rikas, Xini and Xondario,
4. Xondario and Flynt (Since Flynt is already asleep)
Everybody takes a long rest, Xondario a short. It isn't until right after shift 3 ends and shift 4 begins that something happens. At first you Xondario and Flynt think it's probably just the wind, or a larger animal, but as the sound continues it becomes clear that something, or someone, maybe more than one, was moving around just inside the tree line.
Xondario moves next to Flynt and turns around so he's facing away from where they think they hear people. "Well, by the way you avoiding looking in a particular direction, I'm gonna conclude you think the same as I do. What's the play? Best the group rests, and I would rather not fight right out of a stupper like they all will be. Force their hand or simple stay wary of their position? I got a handaxe that can tell them we know, might make them back off, might make them come out."
"Fair enough, I'm gonna keep watching the other side. Hate to fall for a distraction one way and get hit blindsided from the other." Xondario will still try to act like nothing is wrong but will still focus on the other tree line. (If they had to guess, how far away do they think someone is?)
For several minutes nothing happens, then you hear a barbaric sounding scream and several figures come launching out of the woods at Flynt. (You readied an attack action for this I believe?)
Rikas shoots out of his sleep in a shock, looking around in a panicked frenzy. His eyes dart towards the enemies coming towards Flynt and summons a card in one hand, while shaking Xini awake with the other. "Wake the **** up Xini."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Taxidea bolts upright and scrambles to grab his new wand. He wipes the sleep from his eyes and turns to face where the commotion is coming from. "I love the smell of fireballs in the morning," he murmurs.

"...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."
Jasmine wakes up from the noise. She stands up and looks around. "Damn... not enough time to don armor..." Without her armor or shield, she is nowhere near the defensive wall that she can usually be. So she'd have to keep her distance. Thankfully, even if she can't safely engage in melee, she still has spells that will let her be a squishy ranged caster.
Armeros begrudgingly gets up, annoyed with the enemies for disturbing his beauty sleep, and hurries to follow Xondario. It's the perfect chance to try out his new blade at least.
In a blur, Flynt lets a bolt fly at the first target to exit the trees . As he does he barks,
"Stand down or be downed where ya stand!!!
Flynt's left hand smoothly loads a second bolt into the crossbow held in his right. The movement is so fast it almost looks as if his hands don't move at all. His second shot streaks towards the second assailant.
The two visitors who were hit let out abnormaly high pitched yells, clearly in pain. The third stop in their tracks and yells over the chaos. "OIY! WE AREN'T HERE TO HURT YOU YOU CRAZY DOLTS!" You now see them to be three halflings. The injured ones seem to be in a large amount of pain, but they don't appear to notice. One of them came to an abrupt stop and is goggling at the strange array of party members. The other is trying his best to untangle a long red scarf that somehow got mixed up in his big boots. The halflings are all males, with shaggy blonde hair and dark green poncho like robes. They have 'tall' brown boots with fur lining, and judging by the bulges they have packs and knife or two under their robes.
Armeros gives a chuckle, finding it amusing that the would-be attackers have given up so easily.
"Is that right? You could have revealed yourselves peacefully earlier, yet you chose this. Who are the 'dolts' again? Please explain your reasoning before we decide to finish the job."
Sounds good.
Fine with me.
I’m good with that

Flynt lights a thin cigar and surveys the tree line. In a soft voice, his lips barely moving, he answers
"Nah, let's let 'em come at us on ther own. Could be the break we're looking for. Let 'em think thar catchin' us when we're catchin' them. "

"Everybody up! We have guests!" Xondario would fire up his hammer and start running towards the the side of the camp the figures are coming from.
