@LDS_Forever - I will use this, but not all, for instance you said:

Medusa and the rest of the group went back Shadow's hut and they found him doing okay. The fever was gone but he still need some rest. |
Medusa and the rest of the group go by Shadow's hut first to let him know about our plan and Greaves, he may be concern if we don't.
When we reach there, we discuss how we are going to acomplish this task. Medusa and Amaris agree to wear black clothes to be able to camuflate well. Nick just follow our directions. We decided to dress in black since we are going to 'work' at night. Medusa takes with her, the sword, shovel and everything needed to use arrows, in this way she will be able to attack without making so much noise. She make sure she takes her part of the bag that Greaves gave to the group since there is some bottles of strengh tonic that we may need if we are poisoned. She gave Nick some of her stuff so she can balanced well the equipment, after all Nick is very strong and he can handle weight very well. Amaris is ready too.
Medusa takes her staff with her to the journey through the mountains, it will help to make her trip easier.
Amaris is very cautious that there is no traps around. That will be her job until we find the cave.
Medusa remembers that Amaris has a very good trained dog that obeys her in everything she says so Medusa suggests Amaris to take it with her since the dog may help us to find the cave, after all, dogs have a great sense of smell. Amaris agrees.
Everyone is ready to go by night at Death Mouth. It will take us a while to reach there, we have more than 2 eyes open during the journey there to make sure there is no danger around. We reach to the mountains and Amaris being a animal trainer shows her dog the ring with the inscription on and teach the dog that we need to find something with that inscription on. That will make the dog aware of what he must look on.
Amaris packs most of her things inside the tent and wears the ring around her neck on a thread she has pulled out of her garment and keeps it hidden. Amaris's dog is scouting up ahead, not too far, she will warn the group if there are people lurking about in the wilderness. She warns us with a certain kind of loud moan so as to not alert the enemy of our presence behind her, and give us time to get ready for battle if need be. Amaris's dog will also help us to find food, wild game to eat if we run low on rations. Wherever water is found Amaris fills her flask, she doesn't need much water to keep her going, but tries to keep the flask full as much as possible. Amaris will follow at and search in nearby places looking for traps and keeping an eye out for bandits.
She will wear her cloak as it will keep her hidden. She will hide her tent in a nearby crevice so she can maneuver better and keep her short bow with her as well as her arrows in the shaft. She walks as lightly as she can, barefoot, or with cloth or leave wrapped around her feat to muffle the sound of steps. Medusa and Amaris decided to work together in looking for the cave and leave Nick to keep guard and warn us if he sees any of the bandits. Amaris will keep in the shadows as she searches and have her bow slung over her shoulder with her arrows. Keeping an eye on the trees and looking for hidden places where others may lying in wait to attack. A signal should be given when the cave is found. It should be subtle but distinct. Amaris's dog named IO (pronounced eeoh) will give a short yip. If and when Amaris finds a trap she will mark it, if it cannot be disarmed, so we will no the places to avoid.
If there is a secluded flat area in the woods Amaris, Medusa and Nick could set up her tent and the three could try to cram in, or at least two and the body heat will help to keep warm. We light a fire just enought to heat ourselves but not to call much attention. We have Amaris's dog and Nick also outside the tent to watch for any signs of danger, Nick will be watching for a couple of hours and then each one of us would make turns so everybody can have a good rest. We need at least 8 hours of sleep so we will start our journey again at 2:30am.
Amaris is good with animals but no so many at one time. If it was just one wolf she could handle it. Amaris is a bit nervous but doesn't want to make any sudden or quick moves. She doesn't want to go inside the tent for fear that she would give away Nick and Medusa sleeping and all suffer from the pack, so she slowly crouches down next to the fire and covers herself with her cloak that she grabbed before coming out of the tent. She also brougt her short bow and arrows just in case. A bow wouldn't do much good but she could keep a quiver in her hand and use it like a dagger should one jump at her, and in the other hand she has a stick with fire, most animals are afraid of it hopefully it will help ward the wolves off as well. She will sit still and wait in silence and if the wolves do attack she will give a call for Nick and Medusa. Hopefully IO will come to her aid.
Amaris cannot sleep, Medusa and Nick cannot sleep either. She (Amaris) will keep watch again until it's Medusa's turn and will be ready to go in the morning. Amaris would like to take out the arrow from the wolf if it's not broken, she doesn't seem the need to leave there when it can be used again. Medusa ask Nick to dig and place the dead wolves in there so nobody knows we were there. Medusa brought a shovel and she gave it to him to accomplish this task. Nick buries the dead wolves and after go to rest while Amaris keep a watch.
Amaris want to do this"It may be difficult to spear a fish with a walking staff. It will be more effective if an arrow is attached to the end of it. Also when spear fishing Nick, don't go after the fish. Stand still and let them come to you and then spear them. It's harder to spear a fish when it's swimming away from you. Amaris will help Nick to catch some fish. Amaris doesn't need a spear she can catch them with her hands. Amaris sits in the river quiet and still with her hands cupped under the water and waits for the fish to come to her and then she grabs them and tosses them up onto the bank".
After getting the fishes, Medusa makes a fire to keep ourselves warm for the night and also to cook the fishes. Everybody seems to enjoy Medusa's dinner and while they eat the chat about the fact that they're going to reach destination soon. We don't count with a dog anymore. Medusa thinks that Amaris need to keep good track of traps around, since we are so closed to the place, it must be many around. Nick, Medusa and Amaris have all his weapons and equipment ready and they go to sleep while Medusa keep watch until Nick's turn.
Amaris wants to do this:
"These people already know of the groups presence.
We could try to hide but I don't think there is much use
in that except they might know exactly where we are lurking.
I am guessing they are magicians, and if they are we could learn much from them to help us in our endeavors. I will stand out and greet them.
One of them looks familiar to me. "
Medusa: "Hmmm....Meduda don't trust them for the fact
that Greaves told us to not tell nobody about what we are going to do. Medusa don't think they're dangerous but they may be looking for the same scroll we are looking for. She will greet them too BUT she will not tell them anything concerning our journey and the scroll.
We will wait first to see what they have to say.
