"I will take first watch while everyone rest" he says as he attaches his new bag to his belt. He makes his way to one of the lookout points and stands guard.

Karnic will gladly take up the offer to rest and prepares his bedroll and things before laying down. "Keep an eye out for possible game to catch. I think a hot meal will do us all some good."

Be excellent to each other, and roll for initiative dudes!
They party reassembles at the campsite but Isk and Flint looking over the next three campsites but these people must have been dreamers because they died quickly in their sleep or groping for their weapons! There's nothing special about their gear. Isk does however find a jug of something and sniffing it he can tell it's some crude fermented fruit wine. Dreamers...they would have never made it through the maze!
Gen goes to sleep with her blood hawk Jinx settling in a tree above as if to serve as a look out.
OOC: unless everyone has plans to do anything we can fast forwards to this evening? Everyone's HP resets, spells reset but ONLY if you do nothing then travelling to the gate before midnight!!

Nearing ten o'clock that evening the party has been up for roughly three hours planning their approach. Gen is silent letting the men plan for every eventuality before standing up and telling the men it's time to begin their trek. Sending her hawk ahead Gen travels at the front of the party. She uses her staff almost as a divining rod holding it ahead of her and mumbling every once in a while before abruptly changing direction in the woods going north of the campsite. It's a full moon tonight and although its bright the night is overcast and the clouds passing overhead occasionally block out the light. The party's members without dark vision have torches light which Gen assures them even if they are followed only she and those she allows will enter through the gate she's discovered. Nearing where they assume the maze to be the party is confused only seeing the bog ahead. They pass by various bog creatures who seem to curiously watch them in the wake of the young druid and do not approach or threaten the party. It seems like hours which its been two but as they approach midnight they find huge trees they've passed throughout their trek into the swamp have become Gen's focus. She passes two and three of them looking at them curiously before leading the party to another and the largest they've seen. As they approach the party realizes it's not one large tree but two trees that have grown together with roots above the bog's wet ground. Between their trunks, the joined trees have a stone door that is clearly visible by the entire party!
Gen turns to the party and for the first time in several hours address them directly.
"Now I just hope we're worthy," Gen says with a soft smile looking at the moon as if gauging something and then moving towards the doors. "Any second thoughts?" the young half-elf asks with a curious smile.
Flint will look to Gen and remove his helmet. "Thank you for your help" He will say with a gentle smile before holding the helmet in front of him with both hands and slowly walking towards the door.
As the party reaches the door, Karnic will take out his Lantern of Revealing and ruby dust. Opening up the lantern and sprinkling the ruby dust over the lantern's wick, he will say a quick prayer, "Lliira, provide me a continuous light so that we may see." (Casting Continual Flame.) Once finished he will put the lantern back on the side of his haversack with the hood closed, after he makes sure that it is working, and get his mace and shield ready.

Garrett follows the party as they follow Gen. In the darkness he unsheathes his rapier and sees that in darkness, the unsheathed blade of his sword sheds moonlight, creating bright light in a 15-foot radius and dim light for an additional 15 feet. With this light he is able to easily see where they are going.
As they approach the door Garrett remains silent as Gen speaks her words. No sense saying anything at this time he figures, there is no turning back now.
He looks up at Athene who has been quietly following overhead and when they stop alights on his shoulder. I think that at this time I will let you go, for the momenthe tells her and with a thought he temporarily dismissed her to call her again at a later time. The owl suddenly vanishes from his shoulder.
"I am ready." he answers Griff.
When it is his turn he moves forward with confidence, blade at the ready...
Entering through the doorway they party sees a large well light chamber of stone. The room's dimensions are 50ft by 50ft with a well at the center that has a ledge about 2ft high. As they look around the room they see there are four doors and each of the four walls that create the room. They are unsure of which door they entered and they are shocked to realize they are missing people!
Party 1 Gen, Flint, Garret, and Nam are together.
Party 2 Karnic, Griff with Lucky, and Isk are together.

Flint would attempt to search the other camps as well once the sun came up, looking for more supplies, healers kits, rations, potions, etc...

I am fine with a fast forward.
** Sorry for the small amount of posts this weekend. Had a busy one. I'm in for the fast forward **
I'm good with the fast forward.
Isk takes a switch of the fruit wine and with a noding smile, snoozes until gate time!
The only thing Karnic will do is spend time in meditation after his rest to prepare different spells. Other than that, I'm good with the time warp.

Nam shakes the nervousness from his bones and follows the others.

Isk readies his shield and pulls the hammer from his belt loop saying, "Stay next to me, Gen." and heads towards the door.
Griff puts one hand on Gen's should and one on Flints.
"We ready for this?" He says loudly for the entire group to hear, but faces forward staring at the doorway.
"We can only pass through one at a time," Gen informs the party. "It...it's the only way through," she adds.
OOC: Once everyone's checked in I need you all to roll 1d100 please in a PM to me only! Thanks!
