"We're on our way to delve into the Sunless Citadel. Maybe rescue some people, claim some riches, fight some monsters. We'd be happy to have you along!"  

"Sounds like a great opportunity for adventure, you lead I will follow."

With your new companion, you continue onward along the Old Road to the south. You make good time.

You can finally see the ravine; you are near a small forest. The sun is setting; now might be a good time to make camp, although you could press on to the citadel if you wish.

Thoughts dwelling on relaxing, Blaze looks to the others and asks, "It's getting dark, shall we set up camp and continue our journey in the morning?"

Oswald will scan the surroundings, looking for a good place to make camp. "An excellent idea, we can make our approach to the citadel in daylight."

Perception - 21

Tired after a days walk, Irina slides her bag of her shoulders and leans on her quarterstaff for support, "Sounds like a fine plan, I suppose we have a watch rotation so we can keep safe, this road seems safe, but it can't hurt to have someone keep watch".

"Sounds like an wonderful idea. I'm feeling a little rundown from walking in this armor all day and could use some rest.    And as Oswald said, best come approach during the daylight hours. If we are taking volunteers for the watch I ask if I can take the first watch."  

Feats: Alert

"I Guess I'll take second watch." Hunhow says. "But before we bed down, I make a half-decent Farothai If anyone's feeling hungry."

OOC: Farothai is a traditional dragonborn dish made from stuffed, griddled bread. 

Oswald perks up at the sound of some food and claps his hands together. "Well it is decided. Whatever our companion can prepare sounds excellent after a hard day of walking. I always find that the digestive process makes for an excellent time to discuss business and I have an exciting franchise opportunity to discuss with you all."

Dropping his pack against a nearby tree, Oswald begins picking up dry sticks. "For now I'll gather some firewood, but put me down for third watch."

Survival check (to find dry wood I guess? Ignore if this isn't necessary) 21

I'm not proficient with cook's tools. Hunhow isn't a master chef. He's using a mess kit and perishable things to make something sufficiently like his favorite dish from back home.

"I have never tried such a meal, but I can take third watch when it comes to time. For now, I will play my Viol to try and make things more relaxing."  I sit against a tree and begin to play a relaxing melody while humming along with the music.

(Secret Roll: 2)

The night sets in. The first watch, manned by Alexander, goes by uneventfully. Hunhow takes the second watch just before midnight.

(Hunhow, make a Perception check.)

Perception: 13

Also what do I roll to cook?

(The meal came out okay.)

(Secret Stealth Check: 6)

Hunhow, you hear the rustling of branches; strange, as there is no wind. Suspicious, you wake the party up...

From the bushes you see a strange wooden creature, about the size of a small shrub, trying to sneak up on you...

It notices that it has been noticed! Two similar creatures pop their heads up, staring at you with their wood-knot eyes.

(Roll initiative! I use loose initiative order, if you roll equal or higher than the Twig Blights' initiatives, go ahead and say what your action is.)

Branchy Twig Blight: 11

Woody Twig Blight: 18

Rooty Twig Blight: 14

Roused by the commotion occurring from the foliage, Irina scrambles to grab her staff and Orb, "what is that?!"

Initiative: 13

Oswald's initiative - 6

Rubbing sleep from his eyes, Oswald is a little groggy. "Is it third watch already? Change overs are supposed..."

His vision clearing and noticing moving trees, Oswald pulls his quiver over his head and nocks his bow. Drawing and loosing an arrow at the nearest Twig Blight.

Attack - Attack: 10 Damage: 8

Spotting the creatures, Irina will raise her hands perform a short series of gestures and chanting a spell in infenal, causing a bolt of fire to shoot from her hands at the branchy twig blight.

Spell: Fire Bolt

Spell attack roll: 25

Damage: 10 fire damage

Oswald and Irina fire an arrow and a fire bolt, respectively; the arrow hits a twig blight but does no damage, merely snapping off a small ancillary branch, while the firebolt fizzles as it hits the ground, the ground being wet with dew preventing it from setting off a larger forest fire.

(Hunhow, Alexander and Blaze still need to roll initiative.)

Even though he had just been asleep for not that long, Alexander quickly jumps into action after being woken up. 

Initiative: 18 

Seeing the strange creatures, Alexander charges at them with his sword. Swinging at Branch Twig Blight, he attacks. 

Attack: 17 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll.

Blaze Lightsinger

Initiative: 18

I exit my meditative state, quickly getting up casting vicious mockery on Woody Twig. I say, “May your descent to death be ever so painful.” 

(The creature must make a wisdom saving throw and beat a 13 or take 7 psychic damage)
