We should rest if we can. We have a long journey ahead and we should not get low on sleep.
I don't want push anyone before we get to Waterdeep. Also, stopping might give me a chance to question Allystra or Kyranda.
Keleth gets off his horse and looks around.
Keleth looks into the woods for anything unusual near the clearing.
As Keleth is looking around he steps into the clearing and looks on the ground for tracks.
Keleth- On the road from Waterdeep you have seen merchants, other adventuring parties, and some farmers along the way. A group of guards passed once or twice but you haven't seen them in days now. You don't see anything unusual, it looks like it may be used by other travelers, a spot for a campfire sits in the center of the clearing. You see various human tracks, animals, and wildlife tracks. Nothing else seems out of place or strange.
Looks clear, everyone set up camp. I am going to take a look around the forest see if there is anything about, just to be sure. Anyone who wants to can come with me. Also if anyone hears my whistle, come as fast as possible.
This is the perfect place for bandits. I don't want to be attacked in the middle of the night.
Keleth head off into the woods. He makes a circle around the campsite about 300 feet away. He looks around for any sighs of life.
I will keep watch on you while you investigate Keleth.
- Following Keleth in Stealth just to protect his flank.
Allystra happily goes about getting her bedroll out and putting it out under the stars, she looks for the best cover under a tree but with a nice view of the sky and close to wherever Dench sets up.
If she has time she'll eat some rations and even offers Shadowstride her leftovers.
She hums a tune to herself. but while she does so she waves her fingers around and tilts her head.
Balugarom removes his birds nest hat and starts fiddling with the sticks a bit before laughing as Shadowstride greedily eats the leftovers that Allystra offered.
He takes a sip of water and eats some food as Kyranda starts a fire. Then he will move closer to some trees and sit happily adding more twigs and grass to his hat. Shadowstride quite happily goes to sleep as business in the camp continues.
Dench sets his bedroll up next to a sturdy looking tree. Sitting down against it he keeps his sword and shield within arms reach in case they are needed.
Keleth- You don't see anything unusual just more wildlife tracks. Some more human tracks. Looks like a well used campsite.
Kyranda- You see the tops of trees. ;-)

oh,darn Allystra I am sure that shadow stride will enjoy that I was going to fill my pot with some water and I was hoping that you would join me ma'am also I was going to make some stew. I am hoping that you might accompany me to the stream over there please.
Twiddle darling can you gather some herbs and some things for our stew?
Allystra smiles pleasantly and follows Kyranda to the stream. She says nothing as they walk, she is more distracted by the world around them, she looks at the ground and then at the sky and then at the trees, she seems to enjoy watching the little bugs crawl and fly.

so Alltstra, I have a story to tell you so I hope that you might be able to give me some answers to my questio s that my story has asked. My loyal friend of mine has been found sent to waterdeep from my temple and I have not heard from her now in about 2 ten days now and I heard from Valynace that she might have been in the under mountain she also said that you might have seen her in your dreams. Please tell me what you have seen so I can have some hope I finding her
I am not telling a lie I wanted to get some more I information
As Kyranda talks Allystra wanders over to the stream and looks in hoping to see some fish. If she sees one,
Perception Check:
She will laugh with delight and then take a swing at it with her morning star.
Whatever the case after a second or two, still starring in the water on her random fishing adventure she asks What did she look like, your friend? Was she short with blonde, almost white hair?
Allystra- You see water...
hmm... Allystra continues to look at the water No, I don't think I've seen her in my dreams...but dreams are a funny thing you know. Their like stories with no ending and no beginning and often the middle is all muddled... Allystra pauses and turns to Kyranda, unless of course you mean in a vision? Did you mean in a vision?
well if thats the case I still don't know what happend with your friend.
Allystra turns back to the water I hope she's alright! She says with genuine concern in her voice.

What have you seen in your visions? Anything that might help us on our journey together? U am hoping by the end of this that everyone here will be really good friends and trust everyone like they should! I hope that we all can make this trip the first of many gathers the water into her pot and smiles if your done trying to beat fish I think that we should get back before they come looking for us

Trust is an even funnier thing than dreams She looks at the distant horizon It can have many beginnings, a muddled middle and even an odd and sometimes painful end.
She seems to get distracted after she says that and her usual friendly and happy smile is replaced by an angry frown as she glares at the horizon.
Allystra turns to walk back to camp. In any case I've told you everything I know about my vision already.
We should look for the ring at the top of the stairs, I guess I didn't mention it was a horned ring, but how many rings are there in the undermountain? Well maybe eight, probably eight. It's probably Halaster's ring. As to what it really does or works who knows? As to where it is that's the adventure isn't it? She says loudly with a laugh and a skip.

Well, I understand where you are coming from there Allstra
Looks around the camp and sees Dench.
Dench, I have question for you sir, Do you happen to have a whetstone on you? My dagger is in need of sharpening. I have not had a chance to get it sharpened before we left.
sits down next to Dench,handing him her dagger.
Well, if you could do it for me I would be happy, the last time I did that, I got my finger cut and I did not like it.
takes off her chainmail shirt and lays flat on the ground where she was sitting looking up at the sky and sighs
mind wonders a little bit
a bit of a smirk crosses her face
You know Dench, you might be better off if you relax a little bit, I understand your angst and your tenseness towards me, I am not out to harm anyone at all, expect whomever crosses our path not anyone in our group, nor am I wanting to make enemy's with anyone here. My divine power hopefully will keep us strong and you alive. I am going to need your trust as much as you need mine. So I am offering right now a friendship between us, so that we will survive down there. I am sure once we get to Waterdeep that I will be able to talk with my temple to get us some potions and some scrolls for us, you should come to the temple and relax while your there maybe pick up a new religion.
Dryten continues to shadow Keleth around the perimitter of the camp. Keeping a watch on the activities of the other party members to ensure their safety.
The day starts to turn to night, your time has been restful and you have seen hide nor hair of anyone else since setting up camp.
I will take 2nd watch. Kyranda, if you don't mind please wake me for it.
Allysta happily tucks herself into her blanket as the sun goes down. If need be she'll take a watch but other than that she's happy to rest.
Balugarom curls down with Shadowstride cuddled next to him, he sleeps by the trees slightly away from the fire. His Birds nest hat is placed by his side, along with his weapons. However he has left his armour on.
Kyranda and Dryten make a perception check.
Keleth leaves his armor on and offers to take over watch if someone gets tiered. He gets in his sleeping bag but takes a long time to go to sleep. Often his hand goes to his bow by his side.
"I am happy here Kyranda, but thankyou for asking." He is blissfully unaware of what would have happened if he had went into the tent. "Although you are welcome to join me and Shadowstride here if you like!!!"
Thank you for waking me Kyranda, get some rest, we have a long day ahead of us.
