Lae wakes early the next morning and approaches Embir who is wrapping up her watch. “Embir, did you.. see anything out of the ordinary on your watch?” he asks. “Perhaps, don’t share this with the others just yet.. but last night, after you all went to sleep.. I was visited by my patron. She looked so... beautiful. Alas, she has tasked me with uprooting the undead creature here. I must find it and destroy it! Will you help me?”

Embir's eyes widen, and she zips her lips. "Of course, I can't simply ignore a friend in need." She glances back at the camp a moment. "Actually, I did see something? At least, I think so. There was a man, there, at the edge of the forest. He seemed," she pauses turning again to the forest where the man stood earlier, "like, something. I don't know how quite to describe it."

“Hmm.. think carefully Embir, what stood out to you.. what was odd about this man? Did he seem.. alive?” Lae asks Embir as he steps forward and puts his hand on her shoulder reassuringly.

Embir tenses at the contact before relaxing only slightly. "I don't think he is of an undead nature, but, something about him was off. His eyes were all encapturing, even from this distance. I nearly followed after him, but at night, mid-shift, with no others awake?" She shakes her head. "I'd rather not." 

“It was wise not to follow him Embir, fret not, we’ll get to the bottom of this. Now, let’s wake the others, but remember let’s keep this between us for now, we don’t want to worry the others with undevloped theories, now do we?”

She nods. "Probably not, but I think informing the others of the man at the edge of the woods is a good idea. At least that he was there, it's not as if we know much about him, and there is a chance one of the Vistani may know something as well."

“Hmm, as you wish little one, I’ll let you strike up that conversation though... just leave what I told you out.”

Embir nods again and brushes off Lae's hand from her shoulder as she turns back and heads towards where she had been sleeping before to start packing up.

Zander wakes up, quietly creeps over to his brother and flicks his ear with his bow finger. Wake up.

Everyone's still with us right? No problems? We still have all our stuff? Zander whispers, The Vistani didn't steal anything?

(Everyone can roll perception to check their own stuff.)

perception : 20

Perception: 12

Perception 17

Yep, got everything! Zander barely even pats himself down.

Lae walks over, “Quite watch for me. How about you Zander? Bit flustered this morning it seems, unless you usually wake up like this, haha”.

I... well I guess I am a bit flustered. I just realized if the Vistani were trying to con people, then I wouldn't rule out stealing. I imagine this is our last night with them, so there's a better chance of it happening now than before... Anyway, quiet watch for me too. Perhaps we were a bit paranoid, but better safe than sorry I think.

Embir finishes tying her stuff up, gently fitting it into her basket. "I wish my watch was as quiet, well, it was quiet I suppose. But not uneventful. I saw a man there on the edge of forest about mid-watch. Dark hair I think, didn't get a good look at his eyes. Dressed in clothes that seemed fancy? Sound familiar to anyone here because I have no idea who it was. He stared at me for a good while it felt like, incredibly unsettling."

Odd. Nothing happened I guess, so no harm done, but next time I'd prefer to be woken up for something like that. Should we tell Stanimir? Perhaps they've had a similar occurrence and would know more about it?

"That's a good idea."

How do you roll on the phone?

My watch was uneventful as most of yours. I am interested in this man, you seem to get a decent look at him, what was it he was doing? Just starting?
