((@DM, do we still have all our starting equipment waking up here? Assuming so, @Code, your character is carrying 10 torches which are certainly flammable ^^))

(If we do, then I light a torch in order to see my surroundings)

(Yes, you all do.)

Dresh lights a torch, and you all hear the screeching of animals and squealing as a swarm of bats flies out of a nearby tree, and up in the sky. The Torch itself doesn't provide much, but does let some of you see. There is no moon, and no sun, for some reason.

Krwa, as you pull out the sign, you see the words on the back. Was here. Go North.

As he hears the animals, Hurmur will drop behind his shield more and look for a more defensive position. When nothing happens he will slowly relax his guard somewhat but shows no sign of putting his weapon away. "This is different from any place I have been before...."

"This is certainly a strange place." Leto will add "have we any choice but to follow the sign? Ominous as it is..."

Dreshckles looks confused before saying loudly “sign we go with, until we no follow sign anymore. Then we fight things”

"Yes, well, that's certainly one potentiality" Leto responds, looking over the dragonborn

(@DM, I have a question. Would my characters insanity go away if his intelligence score improved somehow later on?)

Dreshckles looks at you and tilts his head before saying “why you use such big word”. You also hear him say something in draconic that can only be assumed to be the same thing.

Dose dreshckles see any bushes or trees big enough for something to hide in?

((Hah! Leto actually has Draconic!))

He'll respond in the same language

Krwa

I stow the sign in my backpack. Are we listening to signs now? "Do anyone of you have a compass? Or know which way is north?" I start climbing a tree to look around above the canopy. 

((This is the only compass I know of: https://www.dndbeyond.com/magic-items/orb-of-direction))

"Is there no trail to follow? This world is unfamiliar to me, so do not know which way we face." Leto responds.

"We should stay to any path we see. I am not of the mind that we should wander off randomly." Hurmur adds as he looks over the each of them.

Dreshckles speaks in draconic

(@V2, No, unless you want it to. I have ways of making things happen.)

Unfortunately, there are 4 paths surrounding you all. The trees are covered with moss, but that Wont help as they cover every side. Your talking in Draconic seems to startle something, as something happens in the woods.

DM screen

You all hear something in the woods, in the sky, a sound. The sound of a waterfall. There is something watching you... and it goes the right path (path to your right, for clarification).

Krwa

I clamber down from the tree and take the path opposite from where the sound comes from. After losing sight of the others, I double back, flanking the right path while keeping out of sight. I observe if anything or anyone crosses it.

@DM: My stealth roll if you require it -> 10 (includes +7 stealth bonus).

Florus moves towards the right casting Light on a rock before tossing it forward

Krwa, it seems no one is on the road itself, but in the woods, following it. 

Florus, you toss the light forward and see a bunch of puddles around the right path. The trees nearby are all wet. The sound gets harder to hear, as it gets farther away.

Hurmur will slowly step forward as he focused on the right path. "That seems to be a good path to start with. Form up with magic users in the middle with those able to guard them stay to the front and back. "
