Darastrix is able to find a large water troth outside the barn and submerges most of his body, leaving his head resting on his folded arms over the edge.
(I am going to wait until I have all the perception checks before posting what all happens)
(damn you are perceptive, and I probably could have used yours from before but hey, they were both great so it doesn't matter. Once I know if Pokim hears you leave I will tell you what you all notice outside.)
So as Vruuk opens the window and makes his way outside, Pok'im hears the noise and is able to see a furry figure bathed in moonlight disappear out the window while Kulsee remains asleep in the next room. Once outside, the bugbear makes his way around the farmhouse.. making sure that there are no threats and just exploring the area. Not long after Vruuk makes his way to the edge of Mr. Haggers propery he cannot help but notice an increase in light coming from town as a bunch of smaller lights seem to merge into a larger group. He cannot see what is going on from where he is due to the fact that the Hagger farm is quite a ways outside of town, but he can hear the a chanting sound coming from town as well. Ash and Darastrix, both of you wake to the sound of a low rhythmic chant coming town and are able to see what appears to be a gathering of people based on the number of torch lights grouped together. If Pok'im moves to the window, he would be able to see and hear the same things the others outside see and hear as well.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Ash perception PP 13\12
Uncovering himself Ash walks towards the road and looks towards the village and the lights. Stumbling across Dara he pauses beside the trough and nudges it.
"There's trouble I think brother," he says to the lizard. "Shall we wake the others," he asks curiously.
Darastrix yawns deeply, "I think the town is just throwing a parade. No need for concern" He'd roll over wanting to go back to sleep. Content in his thoughts until the lizardfolk suddenly jerks up, "Unless you think there's food?! We should get them"
(@Wreck I did make the joke of him being the most perceptive of all the first time.)
"Someone's missing."Vruuk muttered as he watched the torches gathered up. After glancing back once in consideration -- as he was want to do on similar occasions -- Vruuk made the same choice he did every night. He would press on alone, investigate, and if need be offer the "Unseen Hand's" assistance in keeping the city's safe. A second bandana joins the first in obscuring his face before he lopes closer to town, ready to climb some walls and roofs to remain... UNSEEN.
Hopefully.

OOC: They're headed towards the orphanage aren't they?
Old man Haggers farm is to the east of town and is on a higher elevation than Sleepytimbers so you can look down and see above the wall enough to notice that they appear to be congregated towards the center of town, appearing to make a circle around some kind of statue in the middle of the town square. The orphanage is a ways west of town... You are not sure if they are just grouping up in the middle of town for a meeting / ceremony, if they are planning to go somewhere, or if they are returning from somewhere.
So it has been dark for a few hours and Kulsee is sleeping in a room on the opposite side of the house and is aware of nothing, everyone else can see the lights gathering in the center of town. Pok'im knows that Vruuk snuck out but did not follow and Ash and Darastrix are aware of what is going on in town but not aware that Vruuk is prowling around and already planning on investigating the town solo.
What are you all planning to do now? (and please let me know if my summary is not correct)
Since you guys don't have horses and it is at night so you won't be able to move as quickly as if it were day... I would say it will take you probably 30 - 45 minutes to make your way there... you cannot make out the shapes of people at all... just the tiny specks of torchlights moving closer together and a low chanting that is being carried by the wind.
(Ash is a horse 🤔. That's quite a distance, I'm definitely not going to wait for Vruuk to come back and I think if he knew that, he wouldn't leave just to come back and then us all go again. That's going to town, coming back, and then going to town again. Nearly two hours.)
Darastrix sighs as he climbs out his water bucket, once again naked, but grabs for his blade and pack. "Ash, wake the others, we should check this out." The lizardfolk would take the head start to move towards town until the others caught up. If on the way he spots Vruuk he'd throw a rock at his head.

Vruuk, roll perception, Ash you roll too, everyone roll that sweet sweet perception that has not already
Darastrix, not being the cleanest after the farm work, would offer... insist, too sleep outside in a patch of anything wet near the farm house.
Perception: 19

Pok'im, long aware of Vruuk's nocturnal activities, gets up and moves to the window to check that Vruuk is OK. "Be safe bro!" he whispers to himself.

"Food?! Seriously?! Darastrix! It's a mob with torches," Ash says pointing in the direction of the lights.

Pok'im will stand at the window and continue to watch towards the Village. He will wait for Vruuk to come back.
