You settle in for the night.
No fire. No conversation.
Just silent observation from the hilltop, taking turns watching while the others rest.
The sun sinks below the horizon, painting Thornhaven in shades of orange and red before darkness swallows it whole.
First Watch:
Not a single light appears in any building.
The ocean beyond the harbor is calm, waves lapping gently at the docks.
The sound carries up the hill, the only noise breaking the silence.
Then suddenly you see it, something moving inside the mill.
You can't make it out, it stops to quickly...
All you know somewhere, or something was moving inside.
You keep watching... but it's gone, no sound. no movement.
Just at dawn, something changes.
Faint sounds drift up from the town. Not voices. Not footsteps.
Scraping. Dragging.
It comes from somewhere near the center of town, around the square. Rhythmic. Slow. Like something heavy being pulled across stone.
It lasts perhaps ten minutes, then stops.
Silence returns.
The mill's windows are dark. No movement visible.
The town streets remain empty.
