Considering Whiskers' tiny form plus the inability to take off the horse butt off him, the kitty tried to say yes.
However, the lack that equine rump is currently squishing him only allows him to let out a long wheeze.

Okay, since Brozal's player vanished, this will be it for the night.

Feel free to dialogue though. The party is camping.

It's about 7:00 PM, on day 3.

"I'll take that as a yes" I say with a grin.
I call Misty's name and she gets up.
We sleep against the rock, i am spooning her from behind in a bedroll.
"Feel free to sleep on top of us, Whiskers." I rub Misty's ribs indicating a sleeping spot "It'll be a lot better than being squished and you get free rent for the heating."

Whiskers stares at the offer, still shaken by the horse buttening that fell upon his tiny body, glancing nervously.
Bagel, on the other hand, quickly walks towards the spot, marking it as hers forever. Of course, nobody but Misty and perhaps Chad notices her doing so.
>"Come on~" she beckoned "It's purrfect."
With a tired sigh, the cat walks much more reluctantly, starting to do his tibbit ritual of softening.

Whiskers glances at the horse of the apocalypse, tail now puffed when Chad mentioned her quirk, quickly changing positions to be ontop of the druid instead. "Y-yeah, thanks," he hurriedly answers.

Okay, you guys go to bed at 7:30 like little kids.
Jorr says he wants you to get up hours before dawn

END OF DAY THREE

rolls some dice
During the night you get attacked by seven ettercap berserkers (that would've been a TPK...), and then a gray render, but I am going to throw both of those encounters in the trash because I feel like if I run them you guys are going to camp again.

rolls even more dice
Thanks to Jorr and Chad's survival skills, you manage to avoid a goblin scouting party that passes through the forest.

By the time his second night-watch shift is over, at about 3-4 AM, Jorr seein the dark.
"Those bastards are up to something..." He growls, clutching his bow

He patiently waits for the party though.

Alright, no pressure then. There's no point in playing games if you're too sick to have fun. We're all here to enjoy ourselves.
We could play Sunday, if you're feeling better then.

To those of you with nothing else to do today, you can go ahead and monologue/dialogue while the party camps. It would be nice to see some in-character bonding and/or backstories. The PCs are supposed to already know eachother in-character, just to remind you guys.

If I'm not DMing today, I'll busy myself with Ginsberg salt-mining and the essay I should have started 6 days ago.

I would like everyone to try to be present as early as possible.

Also, in-character, you guys need to decide when you want to get up. You went to bed at 7:00-ish, so you could get up as early as 3:00 AM and still recover Arcane spells.

Okay, Brozal's player will be here soon, and is observing through mobile.
Day Four, 4:00 AM
(I forgot that Chad needs an hour to prep his spells)

You approach the keep hours before dawn. The hike is short, about 5 minutes. Jorr scouts ahead until you reach the keep.

I'm waiting to see whether or not Jorr was able to convince Brozal to put his torches away before I post the next part.

You catch a slight smirk on his face as he turns away though, counting his arrows as he prepares for the upcoming fight.

The keep’s gatehouse has seen better days. The watchtowers to either side have partially collapsed, and several large boulders lie strewn about. The decayed remains of two sets of large wooden gates lie in a heap on the ground.

The conditions were low-light, until Brozal walked in there.
