"they aren't our priority right now my lady, and they are to many. Discretion is the greater part of valor in this case. The village is already gone as are its people, but there are other villages that need protecting. Surely they could use a fine warrior such as yourself more then Pogglestick now" //persuasion if needed 20//
Harriana Hawkwinter looks disappointed as she sheaths her sword. "And you call yourselves giant slayers..." she says dejectedly. She follows you to the outskirts of town if you go.
"Forget the giants for now... The townsfolk were taken by a tribe of barbarians... Perhaps one of the Uthgardt tribes."
// Based on the description given, and Ink's knowledge of the local tribes learned from serving Silverymoon in the military, would he be able to make an educated guess at which tribe may have taken the people? History: 21 //

You aren't quite sure what Uthgardt tribe(s) might claim these lands in particular, but you know of a place nearby you could ask—Nhek (the innkeeper) of Calling Horns is storied in the ways of the Uthgardt, and from the looks of him could easily be descended from one of their tribes.
//As we travel I will continue to try and track them. At least to find their general location."

Marav looks at Rip's father, "Did they say anything before they attacked? To give you an idea of why?"
The tracks follow the road for a while, then disappear into the harder, grassy area of the surrounding hillocks.
Papa Jib shakes his head, then immediately holds his head with his hands as if regretting the decision to shake it. "No, and not so loud please," he hiccups. "Sun's doing me in as it is."
From several hundred feet away, you hear the clatter of rocks upon rocks and can just see the tops of the giants' heads over the rolling terrain as they finish off what was left of the village of Pogglestick. Harriana Hawkwinter rides her horse alongside you in bitter silence.
"How confident are you that you'd be able to track the tracks left by the townsfolk and their captors, Marav? If my suspicion that the kidnappers are a barbarian tribe, I have a very good feeling that Nhek, the inn keeper at the Calling Horns, might be able to give us a few good leads."
Ink turns to Rip, handing him the locket, saying, "We will find your children, Rip. Revenge on those giants..." at this Ink eyes shift quickly to the knight before focusing back onto Rip, "... can wait for another day - we know at least one of their names, Klinus, and that the thane of their tribe has apparently spent too much time buried in a rock and gone insane. We're here for your Rip - what do you think we should do next?"
"At those point not get confident, the trail is cold. I will keep looking but heading back and making sure the squire made it is at least a plan."
//Going to continue to look for signs. Survival 26
Marav is now confident that the trail has gone cold. After spending all the time back to Calling Horns looking for any sign of the mass exodus, he's concluded that conventional tracking methods will no longer be of any use.
“If the barbarians are pillaging during the giant attacks why don’t we try and follow the giants to see where they attack next. Maybe the barbarians will show up there to pillage.” Angel offers as an idea.

“I’d agree. Four is too many for us. Once we’re stronger or have more troops we will return.” Angel says to the Knight.
