Graeme sees the large cat crawl into the back of the cart effortlessly and withought a sound then turn to offer him help. It goes against every instinct for survival to get into a confined space with beast like that, but he has to find out if the people in the back need medical assistance.
Graeme runs his hands through his thick, red hair then accepts the toothy cats help getting into the back of the wagon (Stealth: 567).

OOC: Sorry about the description, I’m still looking for a decent image! Graeme is roughy 6’ , 200lbs. He’s muscular, but in a farming kinda way, not a body builder. His hair is shaved on the sides and has a crop of longer hair on the top. Pale complexion with a thick van dyke. His face is slightly long with scars. He wears chain mail armor, which has clearly seen action, and a swath of cloth around him like a sash in his clans colors (a forrest green tartan) and a kilt in same colors. Oh, and he’s roughly 45 years old.
Euron is surprised at the new addition. He almost let go of his arrow.
in Infernal:
Where did you all suddenly come from? This forest is dangerous! Well, we can discuss that later. In the Back there should be a woman who seems to be captured by him, is the other Person helping her?
in Common:
"So, and now back to you Merno. Your situation doesn't look good at all. We've got you surrounded and there's already someone in the back taking care of the woman. Don't you think it's time to tell the truth? "

"Ah...Okay, I need a rest..." Allen sits down on the dirt road catching his breath. Huffing and puffing Allen puts his book in his bag and gets back up. "I'm not the best when it comes to fighting how about you just answer his questions so no one gets hurt..." Allen asks the man named Merno and try to persuade him.

Graeme looks perplexed as the Tiefling announces their presence to the cart owner. His look goes from perplexed to bewilderment as the large cat exclaims... FROM the back of the cart that a party was ensuing.
"Wha' the hell are ye doing ya grrreat bastard?" He exclaims. "Ya canna know wha he's capable of!"
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Inside:
Each of the three figures are unconscious and overall stable. The smallest of them is a male halfling. As you investigate his health, he is sweating profusely and has a light amount of blood seeping from his left side. He's overall stable. Lifting his clothing to look further reveals a roughly sutured cut about six inches in length. With your knowledge of general anatomy, you determine it's at the precise location of his kidney.
The other bound person is a male human who appears unharmed but is shivering heavily. Particularly interesting about him is the fine coating of sharp frost that covers his leathers.The third form is the pink haired lady just thrown in, and she's just unconscious without any signs of altercation or damage.
Rumble, as you expertly 'help', searching this bound halfling reveals that he carries typical items one would carry when adventuring. Most notable is a great axe and 10GP. The human wears leathers, appears more dextrously built, and his most interesting finds are a set of thieves tools and 10GP. Lastly, you're handling the lady. This person is seemingly out of place. She doesn't appear battle-hardened like the other two, and her only weapon is a unadorned dagger that appears to have never been used. She doesn't have anything you might find overly valuable on her except for the look of an innocent woman and an old looking tome.
The wagon is rather different than you might expect. Brightly painted bells line the walls with shelving all around. Standing in neat order are a few dozen jars with various things inside them. Lifting a ceramic jar causes the liquid inside to slosh around, and opening the lid releases the unmistakable stink of blood and bile. Closing it promptly, you then take up a glass jar. Suspended in the murky concoction sits a small kidney. The remainder of jars contain equally disturbing sights of body parts.
=====
Outside:
Back outside the wagon, Merno looks even more visibly uncomfortable. Sweating, he states, "Alright, look. It's something I'm not proud of. It's either this or...," He shudders, "I-I can't say. Look, take the girl and get outta here. I need to get back anyhow and don't have time for this." He backs up from the wagon, taking another attempt at the tambourine but can't quite get it.
“Ohh. Ooh lad. No being proud of it is the least of your worries now.” Graeme says gravely. He then announces loudly “He’s a harvester - steals folks insides. Mr. Tielfing, if ya could be so kind as to keep yer arrow on this bugger? If he reaches for anythin’, put one through his melon.”
He then turns to the big cat and holds his hand out. “Graeme. Me names Graeme. Look, lad, would you help me get these folk out wagon? They need healing.”
(Organs. This is some dark trade, treasures which should not be stolen... The red headed man- Graeme it would seem, is right. Let's see where this leads...)
Rumble grips Graeme's forearm in a firm monkey grip. Not knowing if these individuals will live or not, Rumble pockets the coin pouches for "safe keeping".
While the man's restrained by the bead curtain, he helps move the bodies.
The halflings eyes break open and takes a sudden deep inhalation through his nostrils as he is bewilderly looks around and attempts to get up, flail around, and inevitably just squirming around silently when he realizes he is immobilized attempting to break free, not paying any mind the shadowy figures in front of him.
Edit: my current avatar is my character's image. Sans kidney (left or right???)
Unconscious without dreaming for some time, a bright white light flashes before your eyes as you feel yourself lifting upwards. It's extremely forceful, and you feel your mind ripped back into reality as you scream loudly in panic. As you exhale, it's as if you're lungs were full of mist.
Coming to entirely different surroundings and bound is disorienting at first, but what you just felt was unlike anything you've ever experienced. Prodding at the hot area with a bound finger causes a fair bit of pain. This pain brings you back into the primal levels within, and you struggle violently at the bonds. Feeling that adrenaline surge, your muscles bulge and strain but just haven't broken the ropes.
Ooc: For future reference, spare the dying only brings a character with 0hp back to a stable state of unconsciousness. They won't have to make death saves. However, RP wise, our rather frail tiefling cast a magical spell upon a complete stranger who was worse for wear. Additionally, you may make a Str check to attempt to break free, a Dex slight of hand check, or someone can set you free with the same.
Everyone:
When the halfling regains consciousness, he goes berserk and screams bloody murder. He's struggling at the ropes and flopping all around within a sudden mass of concentrated mist.
Utilizing the commotion, Merno strained as far out and over as the beaded noose would stretch. With a lunge, he just reaches one of the tambourine's zills and utters garbled words. Those attuned to the weave sense a spell was cast as his form immediately reappears 30ft away. He holds his throat and coughs before addressing everyone. "Alright, enough. I tried to let you go; even take one of the three." He giggles very creepily and continues, "Morgantha will grind all your bones to a fine powder for this."
Shaking the tambourine, he casts another spell as the mist spins around him lightly. There are no other visible tells of the spell and no obvious effects.

OOC:Well, if I'm being forced into rage, may as well use it right. Going to roll to actually try to break free, which i have advantage for while in rage mode assuming thisnis a strength check.
The first time, I had been attempting to keep my cool having been in an unfamiliar situation, he had attempted to stay quiet as that is how he would naturally act in times of stress outaide of his recently gained rage.
"Whoa buddy calm down. Let's get these off" Allen begins to cut the halfling free, when the Organ Collector escapes and rants about turning us to dust. "...What the hell was that about "grinding our bones to dust"...Whoa buddy I got you don't move might nick you with the dagger.." Allen would like to help the halfling.

Mister halfling looks utterly and completely confused. He is so preplexed he goes into deep thought and just relaxing his entire body in order to be able to anazlyze this situation. He attempts to make eye contact with the shadowy figure in front of him and begins to slow his breathing and stops fidgeting.
OOC: still getting out of the "introduction phase" of our prequels and so ai may be describing aome emotions and thoughts that really only the DM would know? I'm still learning this text based stuff from watching you guys :D
Allen seeing Graeme running towards Merno will yell out to him."Wait if we get lost or separated the woods you get lost! I've been losted for several days now..." He will look at the other "My name is Allen Bishop...We should stick together at least until we leave the woods..." Allen give his hand to help the halfling up, He will check on the other unconscious people.
Rumble tosses the halfling’s coin pouch to him with a regretful... yet playful look on his face, before slinking back in to the shadows and leaning on the wagon.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Euron was briefly distracted when everything around him became chaotic. This moment was exploited by Merno and disappeared from his field of fire. When he discovers it 30 feet away, he shoots an arrow.
"I had warned you. Now you had become my prey!"
Longbow Attack: 18 Damage: 7
After he shoot he begins to run toward Merno too "I dont know you people, but the other Tiefling over there is right. You should not get alone inside the woods. There are many Undead here! Stay together." he screams to the others while he is running.
