Lurn hears something quietly being said and the an equally quiet response. There is a pause and then the faint sounds of things moving away, slowly at first and then more quickly.

((To be clear, they are not gone but they sound like they are going. They are all still sneaky enough that only Lurn hears that.))

"They seem to be moving away... Maybe just taking a distance because they don't feel safe? Oooor maybe going to get others. We should probably keep moving in case more come back."

Nothing else for Jaq. He is hoping it was just goblins.
He will rejoin the others and help looking for a quick trip to a new campsite for the night.

"Yes, Lurn, let's move quickly to a new spot and hope for an uneventful night."

The party move on, keeping the Cut on their right as they go, until it become too dark to travel without additional light. The evening is quiet and cold but nothing disturbs you before you call it a night.

Kroshav will take the dawn watch.

Jaq will take the first few watches, then plan on trancing during the last 4 hours before dawn. He will do the watch while stealthed near some what he reasons are some nicely bunched trees and bushes if he needs cover.

Perception: 1D20+3 = [20]+3 = 23

Stealth with advantage from cloak: 2D20.HIGH(1)+11 = [1, 8]+11 = 19

((Unless Kroshav took Gapa and Gethren's tent? It was in perfect shape and no one else claimed it before they left.

3rd watch left, the last bit of the wee hours watch. Anyone on that? No NPCs to hop in anymore.))

Lurn can take the last open watch. Hopefully his hearing can compensate for the darkness. The hut should have room for him now, without the NPCs, so he'll be in there.

As the sun sets and everyone huddles against the chill in their tents or sits pleasantly warm in their tiny but Jaq takes the first watches. Jaq, wrapping his cloak around him, slides into a patch of brush near the camp and remains nearly motionless and alert.

The first hour passes without anything of note but during the second hour something large trundles near the camp. It doesn't seem to care that it is making quite a lot of noise as it moves, going through rather than around bushes. As it gets nearer Jaq hears snuggling and crunching noises and can just barely make out what looks to be a spike covered bear. It's tapered noise twitches in the air in the direction of the camp before turning and moving west, away from the camp and the Cut.

The third hour is uneventful until near it's end. Jaq sees a small figure moving through the trees towards the camp from the southwest, clearly trying to be stealthy. Whatever stealth the first figure he spotted has is lost as an additional three move behind it, these looking to be more heavily burdened. All are moving cautiously, but steadily towards the camp and are around 60' from it now.

((What Jaq doing? You can also roll a nature on the creature if you'd like.))

Nature check.: 1D20+4 = [6]+4 = 10
Jaq attempts to figure out what was up with that strange creature.

Does Jaq recognize what these 4 little creatures are? Can he tell what they are carrying that is burdening them?

Perception: 1D20+3 = [9]+3 = 12

It looked kinda like a big porcupine, but not?

((Keeping your 20 roll from before, they just ate going to get about 15' closer))

As they move closer Jaq can determine that they are goblins and some have large, for them, bags.

From hiding he states in common, "Welcome my friends, have you come to trade with us?" He states this in a normal volume, so possibly the others in the hut or Kroshav might here him, though he is not too concerned at this time.

The figures stop and start looking around and whispering in goblin. A much closer voice, slightly behind where Jaq is hiding loud-whispers,

"Who is?"

Jaq can't place where the voice is coming from exactly...

"We have traded with goblins and others before, I am Jaq, and you are??" as he tries to figure out where this also well hidden person is. "Kroshav, Eulu, we have visitors." he says more loudly.
