(What about Father Pat’s Lay on Hands ability that he used on Lyra?)

Haldur will take one of the later watches as well.

Perception Check: 21

Quote from GrantFromCanberra >>

Now that Lyra's stopped walking she seems awfully pale.

Father Pat walks over to Lyra and says "I am not sure we've formally introduced but I believe I may have seen you around the Camp. My name is Father Patrick Michael O'Shannessy, you may call me Father Pat, or Padre but not Patrick Michael O'Shannessy - only my mother, Chauntea rest her soul, called me that and usually when I was in trouble. She had a voice on her that one, outdid anything I could ever do on a parade ground, now lets have a look here" (Medicine Check: 14). He thinks for a minute and decides to use 5 Hp from his Lay on Hands pool to cure her poison. He says after he has finished "that should make you feel a bit better."

AA or Vy help me out here with what is actually wrong so I can provide the appropriate cure. If the Medicine check fails he will just lay on hands for 10 HP of healing from his Lay on Hands Pool 

No Longer required - see post from AA (No. #1538)

 As he is seeking to heal Lyra he says "it's so cold you wouldn't put a dog out in it (Father Pat's Constitution Check: 18) so make sure you keep warm, you hear?" He then goes over to Haldur and says "right soldier, now that the lady is looked after, lets have a look at you" (Medicine Check: 13).  He thinks for a minute and decides that to use 5 Hp from his Lay on Hands pool to cure his poison. He says after he has finished "that should make you feel a bit better."

OOC: Did you not say you did not do it? I'm confused. You said no longer required as if you're not laying hands?!

First watch Lyra/? 

Second watch Nick/Pat

Third watch Hrian/Folzi

OOC: Haldur pick a watch

OOC can we just put him in watch one to balance it out?

"Halberd, can you accompany Lyra on the first watch? It seems she is the only one lacking company so far." Accustomed to having his suggestions treated like orders Hrain makes himself comfortable and settles down to sleep immediately, without waiting for a response. "Pat, Nicknack, wake me and Folzi when you need to, we all need our rest tonight, the day has been taxing to say the least."

Haldur nods immediately at Hrain's request. "Yes Captain, absolutely." The young warrior glances over at Lyra and gives a weak smile, but neither of the two seem entirely themselves or in high spirits. The mercenary, in no hurry for sleep and the terrible dreams it may bring, gladly takes a seat by the camp's fire and pulls his winter garments tighter around his form. He slides a cleaning cloth and a whetstone from his small bundle of supplies and proceeds to hone and polish the blade of his halberd poleaxe. Every now and again he looks up to survey the surrounding desolate Waste and to nod reassuringly toward his watch partner, but for the most part he looses himself in the repetitious and relaxing motion of drawing the stone across his weapon. It's a far better thing to focus on than the horrendous events of the dramatic day.

(Sorry lack of clarity on my part. I meant that the spoiler was no longer required as I was able to make the assessment re poison and adjusted points pool accordingly)

OOC: We'll say Pat healed Lyra of poison plus 5 HP.

Lyra begins watch with Haldur (Lyra's second roll) and Haldur almost immediately falls asleep. Lyra remains awake warmed by the fire. Her shift ending she wakes Nicknack and father Pat.

Nick remains awake for his shift while Pat nods off halfway through. It's passes midnight. The air us cruel with cold and the fire is literally now the only beckon of warmth in the nearby landscape. Nick seated beside a snoring Pat sees a shape in the distance just beyond the fire light and his dark vision. A looming shape not yet threatening but still very much not apart of the wintery landscape.

Nicknack tries to muffle the half-orc's snores by putting his hands over the paladin's mouth. If that awakens him, Nicknack will hiss for quiet and gesture towards the approaching bulk.

"We might have company," the wizard whispers.

Father PST immediately awakens and peers out into the direction that Nicknack has pointed to.

Perception check, please.

 Father Pat turns to Nicknack and says “I’m not sure I can see anything, where exactly are you looking?”

To Pat it just looks like the winter landscape, he can see no shapes nor can he make out movement.

Nicknack reaches into his belt pouch with two little fingers. When they come out, they've got a bit of phosphorescent glow about them. He then flicks them in the direction of the shadowy bulk approaching the party.

Attempting to cast Dancing Lights creating four dim-light orbs in sort of a square pattern around the approaching creature.

Arcane Success check: 93    /    51

The magic crackles then manifests with some effort. Four orbs of light begin to dance awaiting Nick's instruction.

They appear at four points opposite one another and slowly orbit the "looming shape."

As the magic illuminates the looming shape the party can see the first glimpses of a large white beast that stands upright with matted white hair and red stains on its hands and face!

DC 12 to know it's an ice troll

"I see it now, he's a big 'un" (Recognition roll - 12) "must admit I ain't see one that big for a while" Father Pat says to Nicknack stands up (Initiative Roll 5) and stomps towards the large white beast with his shield up and his long sword out. He looks over his shoulder at Nicknack and says "I've got this. Wake the others while I'll try and convince it to leave?" He then turns to the beast and standing calmly on one leg - he is well used to this having had many years of practice says in both Orcish and Common "you don't want to eat me, I'm as tough as old boots and you'll only get one drumstick and I can't let you eat any of my mates so I suggest" he says adopting a defensive but determined (and threatening position)  "you go find something else easier to eat!" (Intimidation roll - 10  

Initiative Roll: 11

Nature check to identify the creature: 23

Nicknack darts around camp, shaking the others awake. "Ice troll!" he hisses to each one and points towards where Father Pat is making his stand.

    "What the hell, Nicknack? Do you live just to wake me from my naps?!" Folzi's eyes snap open with alarm when he hears about what is coming to visit their camp. He shoots up and peers out the tent as he gathers his gear. "Well this should be fun."
