Witch: Day 10

Day 1  Day 2  Day 3  Day 4  Day 5  Day 6  Day  7
Day 8  Day 9  Day10 Day11 Day12 Day13 Day14
Day15 Day16 Day17 Day18 Day19 Day20 Day21

The Witch begins Day 10 unhidden in the Deep Wood.  There are two very dangerous Heavy Serpents between her and the Mountain tile, which the Witch needs to visit in her search for the Hoard and Tremendous Flying Dragon.

On Day 10, the Witch is going to move once, to Deep Wood 5, perform two Hide actions, and then move into Deep Wood 3, the same clearing as the Heavy Serpents.  Hiding twice gives the Witch a 90% chance (rather than 70%) of successfully hiding.  I suppose we could do a third hide, which would then increase the hide chances to 97%, but that means the Witch take three days, instead of two, to reach the Mountain.  It's Day 10.  The clock is ticking.  So the Witch will take the risk that she may fail both hide attempts.  Remember that the Witch readied her broomstick, so worst case scenario she employs it to escape the Serpents.
The Witch's familiar is in the Caves, where it will perform two Peer actions.

Witch:  Move-Deep Wood 5, Hide, Hide, Move-Deep Wood 3
Familiar: Peer, Peer
Today's monster roll is 1:  Dragons.

The Black Cat peers twice in the Caves, and finds the Hoard!  This is the treasure location we've been searching for during the last 10 days.  The Ruins chit is also in the Caves, and the Ruins chit summons Goblins on a  monster roll of 3.
The Witch already recorded her move at the start of Day 10, so she must complete it, even though she might like to be moving toward the Caves instead.  The Witch moves once, to Deep Wood 5, successfully hides, and moves to Deep Wood 3,  the same clearing as the Heavy Serpents. 

Since the monster roll on Day 10 was Dragons, when the Witch's turn ends, three Heavy Dragons appear in the Witch's clearing.
The Witch is already hidden, so the monsters cannot attack her unless she unhides by casting a spell or otherwise becoming unhidden.  The Witch will stay hidden and end the combat round.

Meanwhile, the Black Knight and Sorceror leave the Inn and head toward the Guardhouse.
