You all sit around the fire winding down the evening, Buck nervously noting that there seem to be no noises in the valley other than the lonely moaning of the wind. The temperature seems to have stabilized, and it's a chilly and slightly windy night, Buck mentioning that he'd be surprised if there wasn't a frost on the ground in the morning.
You all call it a night, agreeing to double up the watches. Grinkle already joins Marcus on watch, so I'll just go down the list and double up the watch according to the descending order of watch. Buck will take up the last slot on the watch schedule. You gather enough wood to keep a decent, but not too roaring fire going all night.
The first watch is uneventful, and the second watch starts with Marcus and Grinkle on point. As Marcus is tending to the fire, Grinkle suddenly taps him on the shoulder and says "I saw a light... that way." And he points in the general direction of the manor. Marcus, you see nothing. Grinkle continues "It was quite a ways off, but I know I saw it - just for a moment. It either went out, or passed behind something that blocked it." You gaze in the direction for a good 5 minutes, but see nothing.
Any actions? Or just continue your shift as-is?
