"If you can find some dry wood, sure, we don't want to alert attention though"

"Ere! Toke on this!" Tann pulls out a small sack full of pipeweed and gestures it towards Nik

Tann goes out - not far from camp - to find some firewood.

A suitable camp site is found in the ruins of an ancient farmhouse. Although the roof collapsed long ago taking the front wall with it, the other three stone walls are still relatively solid and will at least block the wind.

Nikodemos has a small fire lit fairly soon despite the sodden nature of the fuel which demonstrates his skill. Tann meanwhile sets a few snares around the area, both with the possibility of catching breakfast in mind, and to provide some small measure of security during the night.

Who's on first watch, and for how long?

Don't mind if I do, thank you kindly. would you mind telling me why you are heading to Dundowren?" Nikodemos accepts the pipeweed and knocks the tobacco out of his pipe replacing it with the pipeweed, he hands the pouch back to Tann

"I'll take first watch if yer want"

"we should take watch, switching every three hours"

"no, you look dead on your feet, I'll take first watch and wake you in three hours

I was in an expedition group of ten'r'so, tryin' to find the source of all these humanoid patrols. Some of us'r taken out by humanoids, one was taken off by a monster, and yesterday - Muklec - a good priest... Died of exposure 'n frostbite. Leavin' me.

"By the gods, that's terrible, what did you find out on the patrols?"

In reply to Nikodemos (msg #29):

"righty then, sounds good ter me" Tann sits down and relaxes his sore feet.

"Nuffin! They found us before we found them!"

"damn,oh well, I will take the first watch now, you rest friend."
Nikodemos sets up with his shield of +1 and long sword drawn at the ready

The first shift is uneventful...

"Thankyer!"

Tann lays down and rests.

as the first shift passes, Nikodemos wakes Tann to change the shift "Hey Tann, your shift"

"DON'T POKE ME WITH Y- Oh, it's you Nik... Guess it's my turn now then"

Tann sets up to watch with his +1 shortsword.

Nikodemos lays down to rest with his long sword next to his head on top of his shield, just to be ready

Note: Magic weapons shed light. Infravision doesn't work with light.
The flame tongue though only sheds light when lit.

In reply to Legbreaker (msg #40):

thanks, can you specifically say that you want it to be lit or unlit?

The flame, yes.

Tann keeps his longsword in it's sheath, but has his hand ready to pull it out if needed. So no light is shed from it.

Tann unsheathes his blade to admire it.

"Ooh, thas'a pretty light ain't it"

An hour or so before dawn, Tann hears a snuffling off in the darkness. Out of range of his infravision, and the dim light of the fire, it's impossible to know what is causing it without approaching....

Do I wake up from this rustling?
