You pack up and continue on until nightfall when you make camp off the side of the road.. the landscape is gradually becoming rockier the further north you go...
You set up camp amongst these rocks just off the road:
This is your third night in the Crags and again everything is virtually uneventful except the sound of an owl that begins around midnight...
But, 3am rolls around and the hooting turns into the loud whiny of the horse you previously heard... the horse stops almost as suddenly as it started and a blood curdling howl carries on the wind down toward your camp...
It sounds as if it is coming from the rocky hills just north of you (see picture above).

Arxius will ready her bow, and if it's still dark she will move away from the light of their camp. [Umbral Sight give her 90ft of darkvision and while in darkness, she is invisible to any creature that relies on darkvision to see her in that darkness.] If it's not that dark she's going to move up onto the rocks to see if she can get a better vantage point and see what's coming.

Your best guess is the sounds are coming from about a half mile away up on the ridge in the left side of the photo. It is quite dark.. there's some cloud coverage this very early morning (it's 3am), so you can't quite make anything out at this distance.
If everybody's curiosity is satisfied, shall we move on?

"I'm satisfied," Rees agreed, tucking the teeth into her pouch. "It's a beautiful day, Alten, don't be grumpy."

Shake will ready his weapons and try to hide among the rocks.

"Everyone awake?" Arxius asks, already on her feet after hearing the howl. "We should get moving. Unless we want to hunt or be hunted."

The sounds grow louder... and a bit closer...
Rees is going to ready her bow and attempt to hide.

What's the play gang?
Alten readies Eldrich Blast to trigger if something attacks one of us.

Shake will sneak towards the source of the sound, while trying to remain concealed among the rocks. Stealth = 26

It's about a half mile from your position to the hills where the sound is coming from.. you feel pretty hidden amongst the rocks!

Fire's out, spell's prepared!
Spell readied , aye.
A few minutes pass by... nothing...
Then... the sound of the horse at about a half mile out... this time the sound travels not directly down, but carries out towards you..
A few more minutes pass by...
You hear the howl of a wolf...
Again silence...
Then the hooting of an owl maybe a quarter mile away...
Shake remains hidden among the stones.
