"ROBBED?"Ulfgar yells as he's now aware of his surroundings. "Who robbed us? What was robbed? What's the situation? Where's my sword?" Ulfgar looks to his side and sees his shield and sword. "Thank the goddess." He gets up and looks at Skip. "They must be so clever to have gotten by our watches. Yes, clever thieves indeed."

"Which horse?" It was difficult to see things clear with only dying fire for a light source, but there were some horse silhouettes around, so, obviously, not every horse was stolen.
"We need to decide quickly on a course of action. Do any of us posses good tracking skills? It is probable that those involved will be able to lead us to the items we have been hired to Recover. If we hurry we could make this turn to our advantage."
"My ... My Billy?!" Livly's eye become even bigger and first tears flashed in the scarce light of dying embers. Sure they had a spare horse, but that one was hers! Given as a present, one could say! She cared about him! "Who ... Why?! When?! May be we can catch the thief! No, not with all this darkness... Oh, Billy...". Little halfling was devastated. "I do not know how to track... Or hunt... But why would that big bandits, that stealing artifacts from big mages, want my little pony?"

"I know a little about survival and the woods... I might be able to help Tack down the horse but it is very dark.." Skip would reply looking around. "Do you think it is wose for us to all go looking now? Wont we end up leaving our camp unguarded?" The young boy would ask.. looking at the tents and other items around them.
if asked to help track down the horse, Skip would do so without another word.

Being woken by Skip and Livly's eventual rising, Landrae gets up groggily, having had precious little sleep since the end of her watch. Hearing the others talking outside the tent, she manages to make out most of the conversation whilst she gets dressed and pulls her boots on. Strolling out the tent looking about as happy as a boar with a porcupine up its derriere, her hair tousled and messy, Landrae yawns loudly and stretches dramatically, "Did I catch that right? Lively's pony was stolen? Are we sure it didn't just slip its tresses?..." Landrae wanders over to the distraught halfling squats down, and puts her arm around Livly's shoulders, "Don't fret dear. We'll get to the bottom of it. Billy will be safe and sound somewhere."
"I could try tracking but it would be as much luck as judgement if we found them. I say see the night out and take stock in the morning. We don't know the area, and have to lose time breaking camp before we can set off. We could split up, and a couple iof us try to track them whilst t&e others break camp and then try to catch up but again we have no idea where we are heading and what is in the area. I am all for being gung-ho when the moment calls for it, and plenty times when it doesn't... Right now though, let's tidy the camp up and get back to bed."
"You go, I ... don't think I can sleep." Livly could not take disappearance of her pony lightly. "If we are not searching now, anyway it's better to watch out for the camp."
"I guess it is still our watch... I can probably go hunt a little bit with you ms. Livly.. at least until my shift is over. I think we all want to make sure we get our rest." He would say as he digs a torch from his pack and lights it from the campfire.
"Then it is decided. We will rest as best we can for the rest of the night and pick up the search as soon as we can pack up in the morning," Keth says agreeing with Landrae. He looks worried for their missing mounts but they are just horses and mules, at least it was not his friends.

Keth and Skip are on high alert. Livly stays awake for the rest of the shift and begins her own with Brace. Livy sad about her pony does managed to fall asleep on watch. Brace however remains awake but the elf is far too distracted by the halfling adorably snoring next to him to really notice again else happening in the camp for their watch.
The next morning the party awakens to Brace still wide awake and Livly snoring curled up in a ball by the fire Brace tended all night for them. Those first to arise soon realize yet again they were visited in the night...

"OH COME ON!" Skip would shout after waking to discover Muffin missing. "Twice in one night! REALLY!?" He would shout as he takes note of everything that is missing around the camp. The young man would finish gathering his things in a frustrated huff. "Sorry...for losing my cool" He would reply as he runs his hands through his hair. "I'll walk.. I wasn't very good at horseback riding anyway.." He would add with a forced laugh.

"A horse thief!"Exclaimed Livly with disgust. "The worst kind. I saw many places where punishment for them is the most shameful death people could come up with. Right now I have to say I agree with that practice. Can we pack up fast and follow the trail? It should be still fresh".

Brace is more vigilant this time around after the adrenaline of the recent events he will keep his divine guidance up all night: perception = 8 + 1 (If DM allows it. I'm assuming Brace would be VERY attentive this time around)
OOC: YAY! Disregard the previous posts. *initiative is prolly coming*
As Brace settles in a spot close to the fire beside Livly they talk until Livly falls asleep. Brace knowing how upset she was about her pony let's her sleep while staying vigilant. It's an hour into his watch Brace when he hears the horses. They are unsettled by something or someone. Brace can hear whispering as well two distinct voices.

Brace quickly shakes Livly awake. He puts his fingers to his lips and then and whispers "Go wake up the others, we have another set of visitors" and he moves quietly to investigate what is happening by carefully approaching the voices: stealth22 as he moves he will cover himself in magical duplicates in order to be harder to attack.
