Responding to Flavia, Savendir says, "A wolf attack like that is highly unusual. Experiencing two of them would be like lightning striking the same place twice."
"Although I've been known to make that happen," he adds with a grin.
"The firewood should be sufficient for the night, but lanterns serve a useful purpose for those of you with limited eyesight. For me, I'm quite comfortable under the stars with the ground beneath me."
He will take any watch. If he is not first, he will settle in for his trance.
"Wake me when you're ready for a break," Flavia tells Enard before trying to catch some sleep.
Urzur simply sleeps on the ground, still wearing his chain shirt as well. "Wake me when there's some wrecking to do, or when it's my turn. Either-or."
Enard also spends a good deal of the first watch gazing at the naked blade.of his black sword, but oddly it appears to make him more aware of his surroundings rather than the inverse.
It is a very dark night. Enard and Matsumoto take the first watch. Matsumoto's attention seems to be focused on Akari but Enard keeps a sharp look out. Aside from the chirp of crickets and the flickering of the light from the fire, Enard does not see anything suspicious. At the end of the their watch, Matsumoto and Enard wake Flavia and Urzur for their watch.
After waking the second pair, Enard settles into his bedroll.
He falls asleep quickly, his sword within armreach - in fact he hold the scabbard in his left hand as he sleeps. His eyes flicker beneath the lids and he occasionally mutturs fragments of words in his sleep, although it otherwise appears he sleeps quite soundly.
As Flavia and Urzur keep watch, the flames of the campfire continue to flicker. Flavia hears some rustling in the grass that suddenly stops. The abruptness of the silence seems very odd. The sound appears to be coming from the east of the camp.
Flavia sits as indicated with her back to the fire, looking nervously into the darkness.
Urzur's keen senses hears another sound to the northeast.
Flavia rises and steps past Enard to stand next to Rokuru, drawing her rapier as she moves and looking out into the dimness, straining to see what caused the noise. "Do you hear that?" she asks Urzur.
Mason spent some time seeing if there was anything he can do to fix the shrine up a bit, considering it's been unattended.
Mason inspects the condition of the shrine. He estimates that it has been a month or two since someone has attended to the shrine. Nature seems to be taking back the area.
As Flavia, hears a sound directly to the east, Urzur hears something to the Northeast. Somethings or some people are coming from multiple directions.

"Sure as heck hear something..." Urzur responds quickly, looking over to the northeast. "Think we should wake th'others?"
"Probably gophers," Flavia says loudly, nudging Rokuro urgently with one foot while making ready to attack anything nasty-looking that comes into the campfire's light.

Mason and Savendir are awaken by Flavia's warning about gophers. Enard continues to sleep soundly.
"Huh, what, gophers?"
Mason, gets up out of his bedroll to look for what are, hopefully, just gophers.
Savendir snaps awake from his trance and looks about, sizing up the situation.
"mumble mumble, no, it's mine, mumble mumble ... "
A flurry of arrows fly toward the camp out of the darkness. They come from east and south east but the darkness obscures their exact location.

"Curse this darkness!" Flavia grabs a sunrod from her pack and strikes the end on the ground, igniting the tip and stepping toward the arrows.
"Sure."
As for actions, Urzur moves east to find the mystery assailants... where exactly will depend on what Flavia's sunrod ends up revealing.
Savendir whispers to the East Wind, calling it to come to the party's aid. A barrier of swirling winds materializes in between the party's campsite and the source of the arrows.
The arrows fly past Urzur and Flavia, but Mason and Matsumoto are not so lucky as each feels an arrow pierce their bodies. Flavia opens a sunrod to try to illuminate the area better, but she can see no assailants in the light of her sunrod.
Savendir, with your low-light vision, you on the other hand can make out five bandits with longbows out to the east and southeast. To the Northeast of Urzur, you see a more heavily armed woman with a dagger drawn, trying to sneak toward Urzur.
Urzur, the light from your Ioun Torch does not reveal any asailants.

Mason readies his crossbow in the hopes that the villains will be revealed by Flavia's sunrod.
The escalated sound of shouts as arrows come flying into the camp are finally enough to rouse the soundly sleeping Enard from his slumber.

Seeing Urzur's Ioun Torch, Rokuro digs around in his pouch for a second and pulls forth his own. Tossing it up, it sets to spinning around his own head as he moves south along the line of the Wind Wall trying to see as much as he can and also preparing for an enemy to come around the southern edge of the wall.
“Wha ...?” Enard’s eye’s open, then blink shut again against the unexpected light. By instinct he grabs the scabbard beside his bedroll and draws forth his sword, the jet black blade not glinting at all in the light. Then he murmurs the words to a spell of protection.
You can post any info you see with your low light vision now
Savendir whispers, "There's five of them, about fifty feet southeast of the camp. They are arranged in a row."
She appears to be the leader. She has a dagger out and two axes at her side.
"And one to the Northeast," Savendir adds. "Might be the leader."
