"Slumber Hills it is then."

He then says, "No fishy vendors for us." Leofir knows his 2nd pass at his terrible pun will not be well-received so he takes out the remaining jester bell and jingles it around a bit for added comedic relief.

Rey orders a last pint and downs it before the party gets ready to head out.

"Well, let's get to it then!" He says with an excitable purr.

Shaa checks is stuff one last time. 

"Yep let's."  he adds eagerly. 

You set out on you expedition into the Sumber Hills at dawn. The shepherd, Larmon, comes with you. . On a barren hilltop a few miles from Red Larch, you find four freshly dug shallow graves. The earth scraped out for the holes is piled nearby, although hastily gathered stones cover the graves. The faint smell of death hangs in the air, and several vultures circle overhead. Larmon explains that he grazes his sheep in a nearby vale, and he passed by this spot less than a month ago. There were no graves present on his previous visit. He found them just a couple of days ago and has no idea who might be buried here — none of the folk of Red Larch are missing, and he doesn’t know of anyone else out this way. You have a good view of the surrounding hills from this vantage point. Several miles to the west you can make out the tiny outline of Red Larch, and the thin dark line marking the Long Road. Several miles to the north, you see a slender old tower circled by large birds. Nothing else is around here. Larmon identifies the tower in the distance as Feathergale Spire. All he knows about the place is that “knights out of Waterdeep come up here sometimes, riding on flying monsters.” He adds, “They keep to themselves.”

((Make investigation checks if you wish.))

Rey will look for tracks or signs of the Mirabar delegation and any signs of Teresial.

He will also look in one of the graves.

Shaa will let the other look for tracks and signs of passage. He will keep a look out just in case.

 Perception: 11

Rey finds a confused collection of tracks, a few broken arrows, a discarded javelin, and a tattered gray cloak. (3) In the grave that you open, you find a male human in a white robe with black feathers at the shoulders.

Do the uncovered corpse have any insignia or crests on it that I would recognize?

Leofir keeps his back to the uncovered corpses. Far too disgusting and dirty for his liking to really contribute anything, which sounds like it is under control.

He will do something if he is asked, but otherwise he's not into dealing with decomposing corpses.

You find no insignia on the body you dug up.
As you look toward Feathergale Spire, a strange croaking noise from somewhere above attracts your attention. You spot a trio of huge, winged shapes gliding towards you - giant vultures! Each bird carries a warrior in dull blue armour with a dirty white cloak. Their leader yells a battle cry and plunges towards you.

(Shaa)

Leofir, happy that the business with the body is over, still leaves it for his companions to deal with it when he hears the enemies overhead.

Even though it's not his turn, Leofir notches an arrow as the warriors swoop down towards them, taking aim and getting ready to loose it.

Rey looks up, instinctually grabbing his axe like a base baller ready to strike. Would Rey recognise warriors like these? History: 9

(moving on)

The shepherd Larmon draws his bow and shoots at the leader's mount. His arrow penetrates deep into the vulture.

Shaa will cast sleep 19

Since they are flying they will probably crash and become prone. 

Phoa, righto.

Rey is caught off guard. Not quite able to grip his axe in time and ready himself, he goes down.

The two lackeys begin to snore, (100) one of them falls off their mount onto the ground.

Yuron will yell "Woah woah woah who the **** is the howling hatred." before running over to Rey and casting cure wounds
