"It was. Thank ya very much, Astra."

Kitsune pipes in, "Could you please work that magic thingy you just did, only to clear away all the spider webs on our way outta here?  I, for one, don't want to run into one again!" she trails off, slightly embarrassed.

OOC: Should we hole up here for the night, inside the tomb where it's safe?  Long rest...

You can go ahead and long rest if you'd like. Who's taking watch? What's the order?

“I can set the webs on fire if you’d like?” Astra asks with a cheeky grin on his face and a glint in his eyes. “But I do suppose we ought to get to resting down for the night, yes? Thankfully I have a few things to protect us. If you’ll allow me...”

Wherever they decided to hole up, Astra would first set up an Alarm, then take a few more minutes to cast a Tiny Hutfor them to sleep in for extra precaution.

“There we go~” The wizard dusts himself off and admired his work. 

15, 15, 9, 64, 49

Asha, you could see torchlight off in the distance deeper in the city. It's getting closer.

Asha nudges the others awake. "Oi" She whispers. "There's people comin' this way."

Zyn snorts and looks up groggily. "Morning, already?" 

"No, there's just people outside."

"Oh." Zyn said, going back to bed, snuggling in.

Asha rouses Zyn from sleep again. "Now's not the time for sleep! Who do you think they are, room service?"

"They shouldn't be able to see us," Astra yawns, rubbing his eyes. "The bubble prevents that, but let's see who these people are." Not a moment later does he go blind and deaf again, looking through Faust's eyes once more. He directs her to fly over a good distance away over the people who had been coming over, hoping to get a good look and maybe sense their intentions.

Perception: 22
Insight(?): 9

Zyn rubs her eyes and gets up. "Ok, ok. I'm up." she yawns.

Faust gets a bird's eye view of a Red Wizard mage leading a group of 4 guards, and 4 skeletons. They all appear to be a scouting party, looking for something, but they have not seen you all. You have seen them first.

Kitsune leans over to Orvex and whispers "Friends of yours?"

"I'm not sure." Orvex admits. "I don't know what the magic hawk has seen yet."

"It's a scouting party," Astra notifies the rest of the group, whispering. "12 in total. They haven't noticed us yet. As long as we're quiet, I think we'll be okay, but it's up to everyone else. I'll keep eyes on them while you all decide."

"Twelve." Zyn corrected. "Do we hide? Or introduce ourselves?" Zyn asked.

You can easily see where they are in the darkness because of the torches. They are roaming around AREA 8, heading your way. There is enough ruin in Omu that you could easily hide if you wanted to. The choice is yours.

"If they can't see this hut that Astra made, then I'm thinkin' that we should hide. They're likely here for the same thing we are an' I don't know if they're gonna be friendly."

"I said 12," Astra says matter-of-factly, thanks to the powers of editing. "Let's see where they are headed to. I can't gauge their intentions through Faust's eyes, unfortunately, but perhaps one of you can if they get closer."

"I believe that Kira or Kitsune is the stealthiest among us." Zyn said, looking at the character sheets.
