As you prepare for the night, eat, and finish setting up the camp the sun is setting, Niche takes up the first watch. She see's a deer through the brush hiding your camp in the now moonlight. It is across the road and it does not seem to notice you or the camp as it starts to eat a few leaves off of the trees next to it. There is a slight breeze that is coming this time from the east blowing the smell of the forest to you and you can not smell the sea. (Other than the deer you see nothing through your shift) (You have the option to attack the deer if you wish) Natalia takes over after you wake her, and she notices nothing out of the ordinary during her shift, opting to perch in a tree to get a good view and increase her line of sight.
(Kal you are up)
(Question is there a fire that will remain lit all night? I am assuming so, but the with the goblin knowledge you may have had a discussion about it.)
Niche keeps a low fire going as it seemed effective in warding off the wolves last night. She notices the deer and keeps an eye on it but makes no movement against it, her attention mostly strained towards the darker shadows in the forest. Once Natalia comes up to take over the shift, she nods and finds a nearby bush / tree hollow to settle herself into, she is clutching her bag and hiding herself away as she drifts off to sleep. (If there isn’t a nearby bush since they are not on the forest side she will hide herself amongst what cover they used to hide the wagon. Happy to roll something to hide if necessary?)
Varax will also keep a dull, low fire going to ward off any wolves or beasts that are frightened by fire. The Tiefling can see well enough in the dark on his own, and as such, he will keep away from the fire's light directly.
Niche, you find a nice location near the wagon and holding you bag tight next to you and using it as a makeshift pillow fall asleep swiftly once your shift has ended.
Natalia wakes Kal for his shift and she returns to bed. He walks over and sits next to the fire and warms himself in the crisp night air. Using his soldier training he remains looking out away from the fire but sees nothing. As the minutes pass and the warmth washes over him he dozes off with his back turned to the fire. 125

After about an hour he falls over still sleeping away from the fire pit. He is uninjured and lets out a grunt of surprise and escaped air as he sprawls on the ground (Make a Stealth check to see if your party members heard you, good opportunity for a bruised ego XD)

Kal, with everyone being asleep nobody hears you fall or make noise. You wake Varax up for his shift and it goes along with no incident for the night.
As Varax's shift draws to a close, 18 Natalia sneaks out of her tent unnoticed by Varax and goes over to the cart and grabs the food out of the compartment. She returns to the fire and you still have not noticed her, back still to her for the moment. She says Good morning Varax, how was your watch? (Roll a 1d10 for a scale on how much you were startled)(1 is none and 10 is jumping out of your skin)

Varax gives a slight jump, but he turns to Natalia and gives his signature smile "And to you as well, Ms. Natalia. The watch uneventful. Until you arrived, of course."He notices the food in her arms and gives a nod "Ah allow me to assist"With that, he points to the fire and causes it to flare back to a full roar using his Thaumaturgy
Niche blinks awake fairly early in the morning, quite glad that they weren’t suddenly ambushed at night by goblins or beasts. She notices some sounds of movement as Natalia collects the food and gets out of her hiding spot, joining the two once Varax builds up the flame. “Quiet night for you guys too? Only saw a deer during my shift, much better change from wolves.”
-breakfast-
Hearing Kal’s suggestion Niche made a face, not really wanting to be anywhere near potential hunting goblins, “Well I’ll be hiding behind you if any arrows come our way.”
I’m pretty heavily armoured I’m willing to be bait with the cart if you guys want to set up a counter ambush. I’m not so sneaky at the best of times but I can take a hit and dish it back. Especially if I know you guys are just waiting to pounce.

Kal is in a bad mood this morning. He is aggravated by his failure to maintain his watch last night, which is a failure to do his job. That hits him in his pride and self-identity. Niche's last statement would particularly rankle the former professional soldier in light of his self-flagellation this morning and he isn't letting that go right now. He gives her a look.
You can sneak, right? You took dis job prepared ta fight, right? Part a da job is ta defend your boss's goods.
Or is ya plan ta jus goldbrick ya way to easy pay? Jes cuz I'm out in front scoutin', don't tink I hain't noticed ya spent mos a the trip ridin' in de back o' dat wagon.

Niche clicked her tongue with some irritation at Kal’s accusation, for once setting down her food to meet the man’s gaze. She didn’t like this sort of confrontation but it’s not entirely foreign to her and her instincts are telling her to talk herself out of this as usual.
“Alright, alright, mister soldier, not everyone’s as keen as charging into danger as you. I took this job promising to deliver the cargo and if that means checking out the gobbos then so be it.” Niche tried to settle her brimming annoyance into a nonchalant tone, it worked for a little bit but she couldn’t help but add a retort, not wanting to backdown so easily, “You know, I’ve been keeping an eye out for the road behind us for any surprises or threats, just as useful as you walking out front, and what you’ve done waving your arrows around is just getting yourself turned into a donkey. Just think that there’s no need to make an easy job hard is all.”
Once she’s done with that, Niche stuffs the rest of her breakfast into her mouth and dusts the crumbs off her hands. Standing up, she sets her bag into the wagon and puts the hood of her cloak up. She then returns and directs a question to the entire group, “I’m ready to go anytime but I think we need to flesh out a proper plan first. How will we give signal so you guys know whether or not to prepare for a goblin fight? Or is it that we are going in first to sneak some attacks in and you guys are coming via road to back us up?”
Tell me. While I'ze try'n ta protect de group from the flyin' wizard or wha'er de hell it was yesterdy, wha' 'zactly were you doing ta help?
Taking a deep breath and visibly reigning in his temper {remember Kal, it's like dealing with REMF officers}
Know wha'? Ne'er ya mind. Tha's yesterdy. T'day's prolem's more pressin'. Firs' we gotta know if dey're dere. Since yer so keen on guardin' the back trail, I'll go check it m'self, an report back wha' I find. If'n I'm not back in an hour, den I'm dead or captured. Dat way you'll know dat dey are dere. Den, de rest of ya bring de wagon on an be ready ta fight.
If dey are dere, then we'll plan better when I get back wif de intel, because we know where dey are.
