He shrugged and started gathering his 'gear'. "I'll join you."

She takes one look at Davroar curled up snugly but then decides that she is already awake and she would have to sit outside to maintain contact with Whisper, so she might as well go. She likes Zhu.
"I'll come too. I can be sneaky so I might be able to help and I'll have Whisper as back up."
She gets her gear on. | | | | Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 22,197 Likes: 9 (Buffalo) Moderator | (Buffalo) Moderator Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 22,197 Likes: 9 | Zhu
She nods to Bern and Jaliera. "Three should be a good amount. Not too many to spook whoever it is but enough for safety." She steps outside the Hut and waits for the other two to join her. | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 18,002 Likes: 1 Moderator | Moderator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 18,002 Likes: 1 | Zindra She had noticed. She would investigate and stepped outside with Zhu.

When Zindra rises and says she will go as well, Zhu pauses then points. "It is that way. Whisper should be able to see the campfire easily. I will stay here and keep watch. No need for so many to go and those who stay here in the hut will need a watcher." | | | | Joined: May 2009 Posts: 15,146 Likes: 10 Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator | Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator Joined: May 2009 Posts: 15,146 Likes: 10 | Sindar
Always a light sleeper he rouses at the soft whispering. He is content to wait as necessary.
OOC: I had intended to include all who wished to be included in the Tiny Hut, to do so. The point was for everyone to have a way to use it, so he would have waited on the Triton. In addition it is only good for eight hours, so he had to time it exactly for them to get as much rest as possible.
Perception checks: Sindar Perception Checks Pandemonium rolled 1d20+6,1d20+6 and got 25, 21
I assumed that would be good enough to wake him hence my post above. If it isn't I can adjust.
Thanks for the commentary on the creation of the hut, post!

"I'll just get Whisper to go investigate and report back before we all set out. That way we know what and how many to expect."
And so she instructs her tiny friend. | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,426 Likes: 13 Maris Imperium Member | OP Maris Imperium Member Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,426 Likes: 13 | OOC: Regarding sleeping:
A long rest (6 hrs sleep + 2 hrs light activity) may not be needed to recover anything but going sleepless may tax your constitution.
Specifically: after 24 hours without a long rest, players (other than those who don't require sleep) will make a DC 10 Con save or suffer 1 level of exhaustion (Disadvantage on Ability Checks). If you continue to go without long rests for the next few nights, the roll goes to DC15 at 48 hours, DC20 at 72 hours. Additional levels of exhaustion may result in losing speed, disadvantages on attack and saving throws, etc. I won't enforce the 24 hour roll but will probably do them if you do two or more consecutive nights.
Reference: PHB p 177 (reference to Con check for going without sleep or marching a long time without rest), specific rules I'll use described in Xanathar's Guide to Everything, p 78.
There are 2 more nights ahead (planned) before you'll get to an inn and you are all venturing further away from civilization into the wilds where threats may increase, and it's more likely that you'll lose sleep on nights 2 or 3 than night 1. And no guarantees that your first night at the inn will allow you quality sleep, either.
None of this is certain. But all of it is possible. All this is to say... long rests are good things even if you haven't cast spells.
So you may not want to party all night and share grog by the fire with the group a mile away who are just now tapping the keg...

She relates what Whisper had seen.

"Is there a reason you think we need to 'check them out'?

"There is always value in being aware of what's going on around us. I'll hold the fort here." the Dragonborn noble said from his place of rest. | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 42,147 Likes: 5 Member | Member Joined: May 2000 Posts: 42,147 Likes: 5 | <Bern>
He shrugged and got ready to move out when the others were ready.

Zindra, Bern, Jaliera and Whisper set out to get a closer look at the distant fire and the party around it.
As they walk the mile-or-so, they undoubtably discuss what they'll do when they get closer... | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 76,708 Likes: 60 Wizop Administrator | Wizop Administrator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 76,708 Likes: 60 | Jaliera
"Not sure what spells you have Zhu but I am pretty sneaky and could move closer for a better look when we get there."
She sends Whisper aloft to fly ahead of them within communication range. | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 42,147 Likes: 5 Member | Member Joined: May 2000 Posts: 42,147 Likes: 5 | <Bern>
"I am not real 'sneaky' so I will hang back and cover you with my bow."

Bern is +6 to stealth. Just sayin'. ZindraShe begins to head out, assuming that Bern and Jaliera are joining him. She can see in the dark and knows that Jaliera needs to stop and concentrate on Whisper in order to see through her eyes and hear what she hears, so she will lead them close enough so that Jaliera can use Whisper effectively to get a better sense of what they are dealing with.

By the halfway point, about a half-mile away, a detailed picture has emerged: The humanoid creatures are indeed humans, although of the larger variety equipped with leather armor. Two have swords; three have bows. Four of the five are involved in activities near the fire, while the fifth appears to be the designated watchman, aided by making hand signals that the feline creature appears to understand and follow, stalking away from the fire to scout much in the same way Jaliera employed Whisper hours earlier. The dead creature appears to be an elk, and one of the humans is cutting its meat into thin strips with his dagger, which are being hung on a tented makeshift frame by another, with the glow of embers relocated from the fire to underneath that frame. A few larger pieces of meat can be seen in sequential stops being cooked on a spit, and eaten, accompanied by drink in goblets filled from a keg on the cart. The humans, other than the watchman, appear in a good mood, conversing with each other (although it's too far to make out any words) and occasionally laughing. The large cat isn't always visible when Jaliera/Whisper look, at least anywhere in the near vicinity of the fire. It's rather large, about three feet high and eight feet long, larger even than any of its human companions. It's a lighter color, likely grey, more easily seen near the fire. | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 18,002 Likes: 1 Moderator | Moderator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 18,002 Likes: 1 | Zindra
"Barbarians," she whispered to Bern and Jaliera when Jaliera reported what she saw. "There are many different tribes. If they feel threatened at all, there could be unnecessary bloodshed."

"Well it doesn't seem like they are preparing for something bad", he offered.

"Why don't I go and talk to them? Probably the only way we'll find out anything useful."
That big cat is fascinating. | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 42,147 Likes: 5 Member | Member Joined: May 2000 Posts: 42,147 Likes: 5 | <Bern>
"Sounds reasonable", he said with a nod. "I'll keep watch from here", he said getting his bow ready
