"Can be giving it a try if ye wish." Dain says to Margret with a shrug. "Not be knowing how much good it be doing in the midst of a fight, since it be easy to be not remembering such tactical advice during a fight, but I be willing to give it a try."

"Margret, I'm sorry I kinda of got up in your face about your Ree‘lyn, but many of us have had bad experiences with the Drow and it's like Biggz says, when you are talking long con, they are masters at this and take year to infiltrate... some don't even know that they are being part of it."  She shakes her head "It can be really awful, anyway, I will be respectful of him as long as he doesn't start anything."

While they are moving along again: "You know, Dain and Kala and Mr. Biggz we need to discuss things about our spells. Give some key words on how they are shaped without  saying what they are tipping off any enemy during battle for instance I could say cone and it would describe my burrning hands spell and Dain could say cube to describe his thunderwave and do so, so we can stay out of the way and let us get off perspective spells. Since we are mostly frontline folks we could defend each other by standing side by side if possible while doing so. Otrov your skills seem to be best used with that prick of yours hiding behind us and attacking the close enemies or even use that wand if they're not close enough. Do you folks have any suggestions?"

"Well, I don't have many spells that actually hurt others.... although I have a few, mostly I am a healer... but this new mace will definitely come in handy."  Thinking for a moment "Although I do have a flame and a light spell that would be most dangerous from a distance... that or I have to be in contact with them in order to cast a... lets call it a 'reverse healing'" with that she laughs a bit.

You keep on traveling north along the road. As the sun starts to sink behind the horizon, Kala spots a long thin white cloud stretching across the sky in the far distance. 20 14

With the sinking sun and as you get near the Triboar crossroad, you start to look for some trees to shelter you in the night. You send out your familiars to look around, but unfortunately, the best they come across are some prickly hedges covered in yellow flowers.

Do you want to keep on looking into the night for a better spot or put up camp here?

While moving along again: Mr. Biggz scratches neck floof for quite a while in thought, listening, if but absently to everyone else' replies to the question. He frowns at one point muttering, "'prick behind us'... not that best phrasing" and even chuckles a bit before drifting off again in thought. "Not sure entirely what I do would be considered spells or not. But, I don't doubt there's some magic to at least some of it. Still... new to some of it, you see." He expresses. "But uh.... hm... uhhhh... Most of what I'd use would before a fight starts, or if I happen to be seperated.Like making myself, someone else, or even a thing bigger or smaller for a bit... I can also swing my axe in such a way as to make someone more or less invisible. Or I can make someone exceptionally better at something, if not tougher for a bit as well." He adds, throwing out a bit of a shrug at the end.

"And uh... That's really about it.... oh wait, no.. uh... I've been told my dulcet tones has the power to pep people up or put them to sleep. Though, that last part only really seems to work on kids or the injured, so not something I think I'll be using much at all. So, no worries there."  He admits, forgetting or not giving much conscious thought to any other tricks in his arsenal.

Come sunset time: Both curious a might peckish, Biggz hums a little hums a tune examines the qualities of the flowers to see if he recognizes them as something edible or poisonous in some way. For tonight at least, he hoped he might add something a bit extra to a small stew he had in mind to cook for everyone once the group were settling in. Be it there or elsewhere with some pushing on.

(Casting Enhance Ability(Owl's Wisdom).)

Survival: 13. (If nature would be more appropriate, then instead of owl's wisdom, he's using Fox's Cunning and the bonus is instead +0)

"Well, if you go off on your own using our tactics you'll probably get caught in the crossfire. Swinging that axe would be good in protecting your spell casters. You're telling me you don't have one offensive spell? I'm all in for buffing you friends and debuffing your enemies and subterfuge as long as you don't over do it and bring a whole gaggle of enemies down on us like the last bard did"

later (How high is the grass? has it been mowed lately 😄)

It is mid summer, the grass is nice and high in places. High enough for Otrov to hide in. 

Earlier: Biggz chuckles. "Fortunately, I'm no bard, Not much a knack for all that namby pamby singing most tend to do, if my performance back in the Tavern didn't make that obvious." He admits with a bit fo a snicker.. "And believe me, I don't have much of a mind or will for the extra work drawing in hostile crowd might inevitably entail." He states, giving Margaret a lazy smile.

"T'is why I was bit confused fer a second there at first. But I'm figur'n now ya misinterpreted my words, or my meaning. Which I can't say I'm surprised given some of the lingo you using, but... eh..." He shrugged. "We'll figure that part out eventually. But uh... as I was saying before, I'm a bit new to one I can do, so I can't rightly be sure if something magic per se or somethin' else. But, I do know that sometimes when I talk about someones mother in an unpleasant fashion, they get this really pained look on their face, ya know? Like, as if it hurt them deep in here." He pats his chest.

"Real weird, but since it usually prompts people I don't like to **** off, I can't complain all too much."

She looks around  "Well it looks like no campfire tonight." She sighs

"We should make some cover for ourselves by making thatch blinds  or just bundles with the grass. Make it hard to be seen from the sky"

You keep on traveling north along the road. As the sun starts to sink behind the horizon, Kala spots a long thin white cloud stretching across the sky in the far distance. 3 4

"Oh, look at those pretty clouds - those long thin white clouds stretching across the sky.... OH, this may be an omen"  she quickly takes out a small notebook and scribbles a few things down before returning it to her pack.

With the sinking sun and as you get near the Triboar crossroad, you start to look for some trees to shelter you in the night. You send out your familiars to look around, but unfortunately, the best they come across are some prickly hedges covered in yellow flowers.

Do you want to keep on looking into the night for a better spot or put up camp here?

Kala looks to the others, "This appears to be a comfy place to rest for the night" she personally has no idea of if it's a good place, let alone a safe place to rest.

Margret shrugs "Those clouds may mean a storm" She could kick herself for not investing in a tent.

Otrov

The halfling listens in awe at all the cool shit that everyone can do. “Whoa!  Awesome!  Nice!”  Magic here magic there magic everywhere!  She looks a bit downcast but merrily perks up, “Well IIII have my trusty The Prick here that I like to swing around.  Don’t forget Needle here,” pats her rapier, “and this little thing I just got - I call him Fun Shot!” She pats the newly acquired wand around her neck. 
Otrov opts to take first watch, due to her eyesight. Perception - 15 

[haha Fun Shot. I felt I had to keep something PG still]. 

Without any better option, you decide to turn one of those large prickly bushes into some kind of shelter. With axes and swords you start to chop branches and twigs out of the way to clear a small area inside that will hide you from prying eyes. Once or twice you get scratched by the sharp thorns, but a few scratches are a worthy price to pay for some camouflage. 

Roll me 3 perception checks for taking watch in the night (with advantage)

Dain and his familiar's perception: 23

Since Otrov mentioned taking first watch, Kala offers to take the 2nd... she gazes at the stars from time to time, hoping for some omen to show itself.

Perception: 13

Margret Second shift perception 18

Second roll for Otrov - 11

• Roll me a nature roll to check the cloud if you want to
• You can attune and check the other gems you got during the long rest, just tell me wich gems you are testing.

You don‘t set up a fire to avoid any unwanted attention, but the warm summer night doesn‘t require it. The warm weather, the crickets singing and the star speckled sky make for a pleasant night. You finish your long rest (mark of one ration) without any problems.

Nature roll on clouds 14 for Kala

This cloud has no resemblance to any natural weather phenomena that you know and you are fairly sure that you do know most of them. It looks like a very narrow road of clouds leading from somewhere far east to the mountains in the south.

"What do you all think of that strange cloud over there?" Kala points out towards the un-natural cloud.
