She smiled, softening a demanding notion. "Thank you for help earlier too. Might end up nasty without it."
"Thank you too, sweety," she pet Nissa and returned to her sleeping place, leaving Nodwick to help to whoever was on watch (poor guy was not build for the fight, but was eager to compensate by helping in more peaceful activities.)
Toc shrugs, "I'll be fine. I don't know anything about you being a sorceress with dragon blood in you. I was just saying you seem to have a thing for dragons....and you have a tiny dragon pet....but no, I have no potions."

Germain checks his bandages to ensure they're secure as he communes with Vilrana flying over head to ensure the enemy has left the area. He listens quietly as the others discuss reason for Nissa's attempted abduction, wondering out loud to himself, "Dragon cultists might have use for dragon blood, even diluted. But they have full dragons, all the blood they might need. And I don't remember seeing any goblinoids back at the camp. Maybe hired mercenaries as revenge for stealing the eggs? But why spend money when you have cultists for free? Doesn't sound like the dragons I've heard of. And paid gold too, definitely mercenaries. Probably not cultists then, I wonder about her past and what enemies she could have brought with her?" Taviel's comment to him about healing suddenly rouses him out of his thoughts, "Oh? Yes, I can help patch someone up if they need it. And you're welcome Miss Taviel."
"I do have a few cuts and bruises so we should probably spend a little longer resting tonight to make sure everyone is feeling fine in the late morning." Naroth suggests.
"Now as for your question Tav, I do tend to take watch by myself and since I can;t see anything past the campfire, I get bored." Naroth grins as he once more lays back down on his bedding and puts his back to the fire to fall asleep. "Make sure to wake me when it is my time to watch."
The encounter with the hobgoblins was early enough that you will all get a long rest still. As you settle back down for the night you find that the rest of the night passes uneventfully.
In the morning you start out again, riding onward.
The next two days pass uneventfully, with you having a much less interesting night the night after the hobgoblin's attack. The second night passes just as boringly.
The third day is looking to be just as tedious, a lot of traveling across grassy hills, following the road onward. You pass a few travelers here and there as you move along, but nothing of interest happens.
As you settle down for the night, now on the 3rd night since the attack, Taviel notices some sort of flying creature over the camp, during her watch. It circles the camp, seeming to pay more attention than usual on the camp itself. Then it flies away. Taviel can give me an insight check here if she wants to try to figure out the creature's intentions... Everyone else is asleep. Due to darkness you cna't qutie tellw hat it is; it is too far up to really tell shape and size.
First of all, she would like to know the creature's nature - same Golden Dragon?
Insight: 6
(Dice hate me today (particularly strong) guess, she was too distracted by the idea to think about creature's motivation)
She stays on double alert, though and so are Nissa and Nodwick. When it was time to wake up Naroth, she would inform him about yet another visitor - the last assault begun the same way, after all.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Taviel...
You are intent on the creature flying above and would be able to tell it was dragon-like in appearance. It does not fly as low as the golden dragon did the other night, so it is just high enough you can tell it is dragon-like in appearance, but not much more. Size is also very hard to tell, so it definitely could have been the dragon from the night several days ago.
Everyone...
The rest of the night passes uneventfully. You wake up, have your morning meal, then prepare to head out down the road once more. You know this should be your last day of travel before arriving in Elturel late that afternoon or early in the evening.
As you head out though, you make it only a mile or so before a shape is seen in the sky. Toc's hawk notices it first, approaching your location at a fast pace. As Taviel also spots it, she would recognize it as the same figure she saw the previous night. As it gets closer though it clearly has a dragon-like shape, but you would realize it is no dragon, but a wyvern...
It is 200 feet away as Taviel is able to realize it is a wyvern.
Roll initiative.
Wyvern initiative: 14
if you roll higher than the wyvern post action as well. It is 200 feet away though, so watch long-range options. Readied actions can be made if needed though, as it travels 160 feet per round, so will be much closer before you get your next turn. (This is with it taking the dash action, its speed is 80 feet.)
Germain will quickly gauge the distance before building a greater than usual charge in his gauntlet and releasing it at the wyvern, the extra energy making it hard to aim.
Lightning Gauntlet at disadvantage due to range (90/300): Attack: 15 Damage: 9
Toc casts Mage Armor on himself, and as a bonus action, activates blade song. For his movement, he hops off of his horse and moves 20 feet to the right of the group. He pulls out his longbow.
Toc Dismounts and moves out further ahead of the group, down the road they had been traveling along. (Road runs east to wwest here, Wyvern is coming from the North.) As he does so he coats himself in magical protection and starts his bladesong.
germain Sends a powerful blast of lightning at the wyvern, hitting even at this distance.
Taviel Lifts a hand, energy collecting there, then waits...
nissa Stays with Taviel.
wyvern Swoops in, angered by the blast from Germain. As it nears, Taviel releases the energy around her raised hand, and a second blast of lightning lances forth to meet the wyvern. It shakes its head at this, but continues towards the group.

Toc rushes forward with Naroth. (my mistake, he wouldn't take out his longbow when he starts bladesinging, since making a two handed weapon attack ends his bladesong).
Both his blades out, he holds his attack until the creature swoops down into range. Attack: 26 Damage: 11

Toc
Moves back towards the group, then north a step towards the wyvern, readying his blades as it continues towards the group.
germain Moves off to the West and North, anglilng to where he has a good shot at the wyvern as it dives in. He raises a gauntleted fist, lightning crackling across it, but waits for the timing to be right.
Taviel Casts a spell and moves so she is nearly directly under the wyvern, before breathing fire up at the wyvern. The wyvern manages to dodge the worst of the fire, but is still singed.
nissa Stays with Taviel.
wyvern Still more angry than afraid, the wyvern continues it's onward attack.
As it does so Toc lashes out at it with his sword, scoring a hit and leaving a line of blood leaking from the wyvern's neck. At tghe same instant Germain looses the lightning from his gauntlet, sending a blast of power into the wyvern's side.
As Toc is the first it can reach, it strikes at him...
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: 25 to hit, reach 10 ft., one creature. Hit: 9 piercing damage.
Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: 23 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 13 slashing damage.
NarothÂ
Moving up next to Toc, Naroth strikes at the wyvern, hitting once himself, and a second time through his echo. The wyvern is looking quite bloody at this point.
