(( How is Alkyn holding up? He would vote for pushing on if he could, and crash afterwards; if continuing would result in exhaustion, he would vote for getting away from the slug trails and campibg ))
Alkyn tilts his head to one side and frowns, "Slugs, you say? If there's one thing I know about slugs....at least the small ones...is that they leave a slime trail."
He scuffs the ground with his boot looking for any sign of slime, before shrugging and looking back at Signis, "And you are an arcanist, right? Have you ever...actually...you know...traveled the wilds before?"
He holds up his hands placatingly, "I ask, just for information. You are the ...err...expert here."
To Xianon he says, "If it were a human...establishment...I would vote for pressing on -- the hours before dawn are the best time for surprise. But with Goblins, I am unsure."
(( Does he have any idea about their sleeping habits? ))
Signis hushes his voice and whispers to Alkyn. “To be honest, I’m more of a bookworm than an outdoorsman. I mean, my master and I travelled in the wilds, but we had other methods of keeping safe. I did read about a freak swarm of slugs in Chult that stripped all the plant life in swathes through the forest.”
Responding to Xianon, he says. “I can keep going for a while yet, at least until dark”.
"The hours before dawn are best, you're right, to catch most daylight creatures at their most sluggish," he agrees, idly poking at the 'slug' trail with the end of his walking stick. "Unless, of course, they've been awake for over almost two days already, in which case they may already be at their most sluggish." He looks up and smiles. "I myself do feel a bit sluggish myself," he adds, though he hasn't given any other indication. "But if we wish to press on, I'm quite willing to do that."
“It would be best to face off against these goblins when we are fresh.” Agrees Signis grudgingly. “If you can find a suitable campsite, I’ll take the first watch.”
Since Xianon seems to have been scouting with Alkyn during the day, he tuns to Xianon, "Now I have my mind set on rest, I..." he stifles a yawn, "It might be better for someone more awake to look."
"You most likely know the area better than I, anyway, but let me help."
(( Hoping for Advantage in a survival roll for Xianon -- or whoever else might be appropriate ))

Alkyn smiles weakly back at Xianon, clearly torn. (( see ooc thread ))
Considering the time of day, and the potential benefit of a possible pre-dawn raid, Alyn nods. "A rest would be very welcome."
He frowns again at the slug trails, "Perhaps away from these" he says, scuffing them again with the tip of his boot.
"What does everyone else think? I could probably keep going if you would prefer..."
He looks haggard.
