Corrin looks at the strangers in hoods, but moves past them to follow Lillian.
"Hey...wait up!" She calls after her. "Here, I can help with the darkness. This is a new trick I learned." She pulls a worm from her pocket and speaks a few unidentifiable words. In front of them on the appears a small lantern filled with fireflies, which splits into three more that float a little ways in front guiding their movements.
"Dont you think it odd that they had hoods up in the dead of night? They didnt even remove them to speak to us. Very curious." She says as she returns the worm to her pocket and adjusts her glasses.

Lillian nodded her thanks to Corrin, then looks back toward the tavern for a moment before getting back to the task at hand.
Creed bends down and picks up a stone from the ground before holding it up to his mouth and speaking into it. "Duqmz" The stone in his hand begins to glow (Light), adding to Corrin's fireflies. He motions the others over to them and waits until they are alone. "Those travellers were telling a lie. That statement was not a natural response, it was prepared. They had been practicing what to say if asked. We need to watch them."

The hooded figures disappear towards the inn's stables were both a human and halfling spring to help with their wagon and horses as the party moves towards the treeline. Well out of earshot of the hooded figures Creed makes his suspicions known to the party as Lillian ad Corrin search the treeline. Looking around for what seems like forever Lillian finally spots blood spattered underbrush and a semi trampled path from the treeline going into the darken forest out of her range of vision!
"I think we should watch them for a few minutes to see what they are going to do." Corrin walks up to Creed. "Hi. I heard you mention that you thought the travelers were lying. We aren't too far from the inn, we could go back and look through the window to make sure the innkeepers are safe. Lillian found a blood trail in the woods, she marked it so that we could find our way back to it. What do you think?" Corrin gets a little nervous about talking to the red stranger, so she says all of this quite quickly.
Creed watches calmly, as though he's used to people being nervous around him. It takes a moment after she stops for him to speak. "I prefer to go with the things I know, so I would say we watch the travellers. And there is no need to sneak around looking through windows, we are also guests at the tavern. As long as we are discreet we can go back and sit inside, watching them as we were all watching everyone before. A trail of blood is unlikely to depart in the night, people have a habit of doing just that."

Amihan leans against her quarterstaff and takes in the night air as she listens to the group. She would like to find this bear, but she can’t pass up the mystery posed by the hooded figures “They do seem secretive”she agrees with Creed “shall we check the stables first and see what they were transporting in the wagon before we return to the inn?”
Creed follows. "I would suggest a slight amount of subtlety. If they get spooked and run off or decide to fight then we learn nothing, which is never a good thing."

Bouncing along after the others, Love can't help but get more and more excited. Her tail flicks back and forth quickly, a beaming smile bright on her face. Sneaking around and snooping, all things she loves to do. "Yeah, let's go see what they've got!" And she follows after Lillian toward the stable.
"Oh, and hey, if they start to get a little suspicious about us or whatever we're doing, I can try and create a distraction back in the tavern," Love pipes up. She waves a hand at the lute strapped across her back, not even breaking stride. "No one tends to look twice at me when I'm playing, y'know?"
The party approaches the stables but the hooded figures, however, are nowhere to be seen. The human teen has stabled the horses and the cart is outside still covered with a tarp. The halfing is moving around the wheels as if inspecting them for damage.
Creed shakes his head a bit at the actions and approaches the human. "Excuse me young man, I was hoping to talk a bit more with the folks who were in this wagon. Did you happen to see where they've gone too?"

"They've gone into the inn," the teen boy says shining a gold coin on the sleeve of his shirt with a lopsided grin.
The stables are not full. They have three other horses stabled besides the two the hooded figures brought in. They look relatively well cared for but road weary.
OOC: Y'all took quiet awhile, as I said, waiting on Lillian to find the blood trail with the low roll and no one else helped but Corrin. Enough time essentially for the hooded figures to go into the inn.
Corrin tugs on Creed's cloak. "I think we should go into the inn and make sure the innkeeper is okay. We can also let them know that we found a trail of blood into the woods."
Creed shrugs. "I've never been the biggest fan of sweets but I guess that I could try it. Things might be different here in Whitestone." He then heads to the inn.

Lillian roll with advantage from Corrin's aid!

The hooded figures disappear towards the inn's stables were both a human and halfling spring to help with their wagon and horses as the party moves towards the treeline. Well out of earshot of the hooded figures Creed makes his suspicions known to the party as Lillian ad Corrin search the treeline. Looking around for what seems like forever Lillian finally spots blood spattered underbrush and a semi trampled path from the treeline going into the darken forest out of her range of vision!
Lillian turned to Corrin, " Well.....at least part of their story is true."
She tore off a strip of pale cloth from her tunic and tied it to a nearby branch to mark the spot.
" Should we go see if they need assistance with their horses in the stable?", she said loud enough that the others could hear.
"I think we should watch them for a few minutes to see what they are going to do." Corrin walks up to Creed. "Hi. I heard you mention that you thought the travelers were lying. We aren't too far from the inn, we could go back and look through the window to make sure the innkeepers are safe. Lillian found a blood trail in the woods, she marked it so that we could find our way back to it. What do you think?"

Lillian looks towards the stables and takes in the foreigners again, properly this time....she's seen stranger....they seem like good folks.
" I'm not exactly subtle. Direct approach has always worked for me so far."
" Coming?", she headed for the stables.
Creed follows. "I would suggest a slight amount of subtlety. If they get spooked and run off or decide to fight then we learn nothing, which is never a good thing."

The party approaches the stables but the hooded figures, however, are nowhere to be seen. The human teen has stabled the horses and the cart is outside still covered with a tarp. The halfing is moving around the wheels as if inspecting them for damage.
Lillian quickly exits, making eye contact with Corrin and the others and pointing to the halfling and the stableboy.
She begins circling the exterior of the stables wondering where the figures got to...
Creed shakes his head a bit at the actions and approaches the human. "Excuse me young man, I was hoping to talk a bit more with the folks who were in this wagon. Did you happen to see where they've gone too?"

Lillian came back around the stables, looking a little flustered, " Well, sounds like its time to split that pie, Corrin.", she grinned.
" Creed? Love? You wan't some pie too?"
Creed shrugs. "I've never been the biggest fan of sweets but I guess that I could try it. Things might be different here in Whitestone." He then heads to the inn.
