“Ok, lets hide in the forest to the north of the camp and send Wit in and see what he can tell you when he gets back. If it’s not enough, I’ll go in.”
As you near the camp, you swing widely to the north to avoid being seen by anyone watching the entrance. You find your way to a dense copse of trees up on a plateau overlooking the camp, and the smell of something resembling a mix between a bonfire that's recently been put out and stables that haven't been mucked in weeks wafts up to you. There is a stillness and quietness to the camp that is at odds with how you remember the feel of this camp from the night before.
Rex, how would you like for your familiar to proceed with scouting the camp below?
[We were gonna cast invisibility on Hatchling, correct Arliden?]

[Yep]
Arliden reaches down and lightly pats Wit on the head and casts invisibility on him.
Hatchling, aka Wit, aka Poof, will fly 100ft up and see if he can scout anything from that distance. Essentially, I want to see as much as Rex can before we have to let Hatchling fly free.

Roll a Wisdom (Perception) check for Hatchling.

[Pseudodragons are proficient in Perception, so that should have been a +3 instead of a +1. Either way, great roll.]
From up there, Hatchling sees that the huts closest to the lower watchtower have all been burned down. The only activity noticed is a lone human tending a small cooking fire in the alcove just north of the upper tower. Both towers appear to be completely empty.
Rex speaks into everyone’s minds, “Huts are burned. There’s one guy there tending a fire. Want Hatchling to get a closer look?”

"Have they abandoned the camp?" Fjordix whispers to Rex
“Towers have been. Not seeing anybody, except for one guy near the north. Think they moved?”

Probably, try and get a closer look at the humanoid. We may as well try to determine if he is an enemy, maybe a cultist left behind?
[Ok, Hatchling will go close to the man and then return back to me. He then gives a telepathic image into my head of him]

The image Hatchling gives you is one of a fairly nondescript human male wearing leather armor. A shortsword and longbow are on the ground near him.
[Does he look like a cultist?]

No.
“He’s no cultist. I don’t want to go down there if it’s a trap, but Terrak if I ain’t curious.”

"Lets not waste any more time on that stranger, send it into the cave"

“I want to go talk to our new friend but I’ll wait until Wit is back in case I need to bail quickly.”
[GM, how difficult would it be to get to the lone person?]
