Storm King's Thunder

Marav sits quietly in a corner and works on bandaging up Steele and cleaning him up. 

//  Can we consider this a short rest, for now, until we figure out what we're going to do next?  //

Ink stands up to speak to the innkeeper, "There's more than just undead huntlords in that keep.  I know you know more, what can you tell us? Only one huntlord remains - the Monk. What bargain did they make? What lore do you know?" 

//I vote for a long rest. Wait until morning and go. I have zero spells and almost no Hit Dice left.

//I agree with Marav//

//well gee thanks away >.>//

As you are starting to discuss our plans you notice that Rip is silently weeping and seems rather unresponsive

 Marav walks over to Rip. "They will be ok. We can leave now if you want." Marav states this as a fact though blood flows pretty freely down his temple and he wavers on his feet.

//I imagine he had several days of travel doing nothing, so I’d say he’s eligible. I just didn’t want to limit the time to a long rest if they did need one :D//

• After a moment, he'll go back to Avgar Filroy looking for the answers to his previous questions.///
• Later, after the conversation, Ink will rest for a little over an hour (short rest - it should still be daylight, correct?),...
• ...and then go outside to find the general store and the weapon/armor smith, seeking incense and herbs and arrows at the first, and more arrows at the second. 
• As he's walking through the streets, he'll pick up any arrows he sees that could still be usable, whether it be shot by Marav, Ink, or the skeletons. 
• Ink also says that he plans on returning to the burnt forest to see if the Tree Ghosts return, and, if possible, collect the dead wight's studded leather armor to bring it back to Flint in the hopes that it, along with his own leather armor could be combined to make some proper studded leather armor. 
• He will then discuss the theoretical possibility of imbuing it with magical defensive properties, offering his knowledge of mage armor and shield in combination with Flint's skill and divine abilities for armor making.  // Arcane/divine armor? Yes, please! (If possible - LOL) // 
• He also tells Flint his observations regarding the new weapons, specifically, how ever since he attuned to the scimitar, he's not been as good at handling any other weapon continuing that he's seen too much in his long life to assume that this is coincidence.

At some point, Crownsguard points out that he can enchant armor with increased defense during combat, but requires concentration. //If we need a boost to AC, Crownsguard has Shield of Faith//

Before everyone leaves Marav also tells them to keep an eye out for oil or other things that could be used to burn the keep to the ground if they need to. 

"I'll look out for some oil, but I don't think we'll find enough to burn down a stone keep," replies Ink.

“Understood. I will listen for talks of oil. Meanwhile, I will use this time to recharge. Please, alert me if there is danger. I am fully aware in this state. Thank you.” With that, Crownsguard stands near a table and enters a rigid posture. 

 // I'm not sure where my reply went, but I had written out a reply to this. We can go with the silence if you'd rather! //

//never thought the stone would burn, but figured a fireball cast inside would do a lot of damage. And if we got it with oil the fire would spread.  Call it plan b//

All of you who talk to Rip will notice that he is, literally, unresponsive. This continues for several minutes.

•  Please make a DC 13 Charisma (Persuasion) check. This can be done with Advantage if someone is willing to help you by entering the conversation. 
• Yes, it'll still be daylight in an hour
• As to the rest, we'll deal with them in succession after you guys take the rest. 

If at any point you look across the village to the keep, you see several skeletons standing guard among the crenellations at the top of the Keep.

// If you wish, you can take your short rest now. However, Rip is currently unavailable to lend his Song of Rest to you. Let me know who you'd like to handle this! //

Marav will help by standing nearby and glaring .
