Brocc, knowing the general direction, but not the exact location of their destination, will continue along, figuring the hillmen will find them eventually.
The companions continue northwards for another hour or so before they spot two small figures dressed in rough leathers picking berries in a gully, looking up the two children grin when they recognise Hatch and Brocc and stare at Banzo and Shalana with wide eyes.
Zeltheris glances to the others, "Friends of yours?"
"Aye, children of the Hill folk. Glad to see them out carefree - means there shouldn't be anything out of any danger. At least nothing the Hill folk would know about."
He waves at the kids. "Hello, might your folks be nearby?"
Brocc nods in agreement, scanning around with his eyes to see if he can spot any adults around.

Brocc notes a hunting party carrying a brace of hares approaching over the hill to the west.
Brocc recognised the leader of the group as J'thro and a number of the others from the celebration after killing the Devourer.
They raised their hands in greeting, " Back again? Wit' som' new friends, yes?"
"Yes." Brocc says, but only passing through I am afraid." He would let the groups get closer together so he doesn't have to yell. "We need help in finding our destination, as our map is not showing it in great detail. He explains where they are trying to go to the hillmen.
J'thro grinned, " Sure'en I can help. Where you bound first?"
" Healer or Barbarians?"
I think we agreed which ever was closer. So is the healer or the barbarians closer?
Herman raises his attention, usually people are not very kind with the ones like him
Zeltheris moves over to entertain the children, telling tales of heroes of long ago, while the group works out how to read a map.

"Aye, healer or barbarians - we'll be looking into both, but whichever is closer is where we should head to first."
" The sky riders are powerful, big powerful, they come down and kill some folks. Don't know why."
" They don't come here often, mostly up nor'."
J'thro pointed at Herman, " They look like him, but more feathers."
" So two days north you probably find folks who know them better, more Hillfolk or others...Wild Elves or Dwarves they can give you more information."
" Healer is long, long way north almost edge of hills...towards Icefingers."
J'thro looked Herman up and down carefully and shrugged, " You know Claw? Small village up near Icefingers. My third cousin is headman there, his name Vine. You dress a bit like them."
The children sit entranced as do the adults who slowly filter over.
One of the old men looks over at Hatch, Brocc and Banzo, " You should have brought this tale-teller last time, he is good."
Again, gifts are pressed into Zeltheris' hands though these tend more towards interestingly shaped stones, crystals and the like rather than currency.
"We didn't have him to bring last time - he's new to our party." Hatch shrugs. "I always find stories more interesting when there's wine and women involved, but that's just me. Don't suppose you know any more about the going ons of interest up north?"
" Not a lot......fighting between elves and scales, a wyvern has been spotted overhead but none know where it is roosting.......oh! There was word last week of some city folk accompanied by a group of northern hunters ranging the hills for beasts to take back to some city north-east past Firetop for some reason."
"Humans have used miniaturisation on their own kind!" Shalana points at the children, absolutely fascinated.

"I think we tussled with that wyvern last time we were out this way." Brocc comments as he hears about it. "We'll keep our eyes open for it, maybe we can deal with it once and for all." He nods to the North. "Do you think it too late in the day to continue North, or do we have enough time left in the day to make it to a decent place to camp before darkness comes?"
Zeltheris will graciously accept the gifts, trying to hide his confusion at their strangeness and tuck them away in a pouch for now, wondering if they'll be useful later on somehow.
"Fascinating!"

"Aye, I still want to finish what we started the last time we came across that wyvern. And city folk and hunters catching beasts huh? Sounds like they're starting a zoo..."
