The Nest in the Nooses

[Skrye [AC3; 48/48HP]]

- These dropped to the ground once defeated but if these are roaming all day long, how come that we don't encounter them now, at daytime? - in a kind of rethorical question - I don't have any clue, as that was my first encounter with such

"If we want to stay here, I can make one of us super watchful for 6 hours. You would still need to rest or sleep later but it could help in the dark of night making us very unlikely to be surprised."

"I can do so as well, and will if we rest here. I can also intone a prayer that will grant a full night of rest in just a few hours, so that our watcher is refreshed come morning."

[Quila Oris (John M.)]

"Ah. Yes. I don't know either Valmera. From what you have told me so far and what I heard about the battle from other agents of the House is that it almost seems as if there is an intelligence directing the undead to strike at certain locations, like with the caravan. But it was an attack during the sundown, just like it is now. So I guess we need to decide quickly what we want to do."

"Good to know Ibubesi. Who is the most likely candidate for this watch?"

[Attilius]

"I'll take first watch." Says Hawkings

[Skrye [AC3; 48/48HP]]

- Valmera looks inside the building and around outside for any different structure to the ones are normally built in the wastes. She also investigates in it for any typical fire placement, as these chilling nights should still be common back on the days when Celik was a great city - I'll take last - She disclaimers without taking her eyes from her search

"Alas, no," says Calidane. "Just a common bedroll."

[Quila Oris (John M.)]

"If you guys want to share watches, I can share the first one with Hawkings or one with Ibubesi. I really don't mind."

(Bob, is there some wood around in the warehouses?)

[Quila Oris (John M.)]

(I think parts of the machinery for making the rope is wood)

(Yeah, I assumed so, but I also would like to 1 whole rope-making apparatus worth of parts, if possible.)

[DM Bob]

Hmm. (rolls a few dice) There's enough non-machine wood here, especially with the planks covering the one well for one solid evening of fire if you so wish...

Before having to scavenge further or start hacking some doors or try burning old rope or machinery.

[Niachi]

Moktli's stomach rumbles as he grabs wood for the fire.

"Wake me for middle-night watch. I think the Maraneth dead-boss puppets the deadbois with them orbs."

(I was going to use Log of Everburning, do i only 2 good chunks of wood)

Collected intents re:spending the night in a barricaded warehouse 3.

In the end, everyone stays for the night.

Our watch order:
things being cast pre-watch: Ibubesi casts Blessed Watchfulness on Quila lasting 7 hours.
hours 1+2: Hawkings and Quila first watch.
hours 3+4: Quila has watch, Ibubesi has watch.
hours 5+6: Quila has watch, Moktli has watch.
hours 7+8: Quila, after 7th hour she sleeps using a Nap cast by Ibubesi on herself and Ibubesi (and one other person needing it, Hawkings?). Valmera has watch with Baxby and/or Calidane.

[Quila Oris (John M.)]

(Bob, during the night either before or in my shared watches or whenever there is time, I establish Contact/Mindlink with my contact, spymaster M. and tell her where I am and who I am with. Tell her about the weird building and poles and gate too and the influence there seems to be on wild animals, and the confusion/aversion effect on Hawkings. Also the undead being 2,231 years old and hung by a far newer rope only months old max. I also tell all about the Grey attack that I know from the party and the idea those attacks might be directed by an intelligence. Ask whether there are any specifics they want me doing or looking into, or if with the 2,231 years old undead the year is significant at all. If no direct answer is forthcoming on that, I ask if someone could check in the Library of Kurn. Let me know how many rounds that takes to convey, but I presume in my rest I sort of get the PSPs expended back again so it is moot.)
