The party settles down for rest once all the preparations of camp have been made. It has been a mild day and the party is warmed by the heat from a small campfire from the abundant firewood in the area. Offering to take first watch, Seka and Aylin position themselves to take advantage of the most likely approaches to the camp, allowing idle conversation to pass between the two women as they sit and listen to the sounds of the wilderness and those of their comrades as they sleep.<br/><br/>There are many sounds  through the night of various bugs and insects as they go about their nocturnal routines; and even the sounds of larger animals foraging and moving about, though none catch their attention until Seka hears the unmistakable sounds of horse hooves approaching along the road from Archenbridge. Soon after, a lone figure on horseback canters to a point approximately fifty feet away from the camp, alongside, and eases the horse to a near stop, though it’s difficult to discern any details other than those of a cloaked humanoid atop a horse.
