Shortly after entering the woods the party come across an unusual sight. About sixty feet ahead of them, a wild boar stands in a small clearing. The boar glares at them suspiciously. It's eyes all to intelligent and knowing.
The remainder of the journey goes quietly with the party making good time. Toward the end of the afternoon they begin to hear the sounds of running water up ahead and the trees begin to clear as they approach a large hunting lodge.
A thin fog surrounds a fortified compound standing in a clearing on the east side of a narrow river. A ten-foot-high log palisade surrounds the compound, whose main building is a two-story stone-and-wood affair with a high-pitched roof, gables, window shutters, and a stone chimney. Attached to the main building is a blocky tower of grey stone, its high roof lined with battlements. Other structures include a two-story stable house and a gatehouse whose flat roof is enclosed by iron railings. A stone bridge spans the river, ending before an oaken door set into the gatehouse’s outer wall. Mounted next to the door is a bell with a short rope hanging from its clapper.
After a moment the gates open and a tall brooding stranger stands there staring at them.
"You are far from the Triboar trail friends."
The man who they suppose must be Falcon wears a fur-lined cloak over his studded leather armour. He stands 6 feet, 6 inches tall, and has black hair and broad shoulders.

He gives Thomas a questioning look.
DM - Caves of the Kobold Slave Masters
For some reason the creature makes him feel uneasy.

The party choose to give the beast a wide berth and as they draw level with it, it gives off a loud snort and runs off into the forest.

He pulls the bottle of wine from his pack and offers it to the man, "Tolben sends his greetings."

"Welcome." he strides forward and takes the wine before leading them into the compound.
“I’ve seen orcs in the woods of late. Ugly brutes. Did you have any trouble?”
