"That dwarf and his stomach!" Terrance shakes his head, "I suppose someone should keep an eye on him. If I'm not back in a couple of hours assume we've found somewhere to sleep."
Hanzo points to the nest.. “I don’t think that nest belongs to any bird, it is odd but i don’t know if we should disturb what dwells inside if we're not familiar with the animal. I don’t want to climb up and get stung by some deadly wasps, or bitten by a poisonous flying snake or something.”
Hanzo takes a seat next to the fire (assuming there is one) and begins to cook up another fish, probably running low now.
Briar shakes her head with a somewhat amused grin on her face watching the Dwarves walking aways heading towards the farmhouse and the people there. Not having known any Dwarves in her short life the pair continues to fascinate Briar with their rustic down earth charm, she calls at to them before they get far along, "have fun boys... if you run any trouble, just give a shout!"

Turning to Hanzo... Briar looks up at the nest as she stands next to Hanzo, studying it closely, "you could be right, does look rather strange, doesn't it? I was just worried about you getting enough to eat and thought some bird eggs would be a nice change for you but no sense risking life and limb for a few eggs that probably doesn't exist." She watches as the barbarian starts to cook up the last of his fish deciding that with the day coming to an end and the group soon to go to sleep for along rest Briar decides to cast Goodberry as means to help supplement the group's meager food stores and save their rations until they are truly needed.
Briar eats one of her Goodberriesand offers one each to Hanzo, the old man, and Ducolis to eat now. With the six remaining (--and whatever that had been refused--), she carefully wraps them up and stows them in her pack for lunch the following day since they will last 24-hours.
Briar runs her hand softly over Hanzo's shoulder as he cooks, "since we are headed towards the coast and the fishing village I am sure we can scrounge for some more fish for you and it is a fishing village after all so no doubt you will know of a few people who have smokehouses or such that you can use to preserve whatever you manage to catch or secure to help us with provisioning for the long journey ahead."The Hedge Witch gives Hanzo a kiss on the cheek and then walks over to check on the old man to see that he is alright or doesn't need anything before she crawls into her bedroll to get some needed sleep.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Ducolis will eat the goodberry and is suprised by how good it tastes"Thank you for the food. I was getting hungry and that was suprsingly good."
To Hanzo "I think we should take care of that nest if we are going to camp out here. If that really is as suspicious as you say it is it might be dangerous. It could also be nothing but I would rather be safe than sorry."
Ducolis will try and climb the tree and look what the nest could be for Athletics11 (to climb the tree) Investigation19 (to check the nest if i climb the tree)
Zaroc hails the farmers as he approaches “Hello there! Have you any food or possibly ale for a weary traveler with coin?” He nudges Terrence “I think it’s my turn to buy you a beer if they have them”
The farmers stop their playing and look to see who called to them. The man with the horn calls back, "As a matter of fact we are just about to sit down and eat. What's your business strangers?"
The dog barks and rushes to investigate the source of the strange voice that is Zaroc.
Terrance will call back to the farmers. "We're just looking for a place to rest for the night, we travel west in search of a ship you see and your friendly hamlet was in our path."
"Well that's mighty kind of you. Is there any way we can repay your generosity?" Terrance is surprised by their willingness to share so freely but welcomes it none the less.
Well... actually there is one thing... A pack of wolves has been attacking our livestock nearly every morning we are finding a half eaten cow or sheep out in our fields. We are trying to stay positive but if we lose too many more we could lose the farm, the house, everything.
"Wolves eh... Well you're in luck" Terrance brandishes his warhammer "I just happen to know one easy method to solving wolf problems." He swings the hammer mimicking hitting a wolf. It gets graphic and excessive very quickly.
After about 10 minutes of mimicking the death of wolves Terrance says "So if you let us stay the night we will deal with your wolf problem."
The dog begins barking wildly at your display. "Whoa whoa whoa, save it for the wolves. C'mon inside and lets talk more over a hot meal.", chuckles the man on the porch waving you inside.
@Ducolis
As you struggle to climb higher the branches snap under your weight, and you see that the insects appear to be a swarm of wasps, a few of which are now alerted to your presence and buzzing around you as you climb.
Terrance puts his warhammer away and heads inside asking the man the important questions when preparing for such an excursion. "Alright Mr..."(He leaves a blank for the man to fill in his name) "I'm Terrance and this here's Zaroc, just to ready ourselves, how many wolves are there normally? And what sort of size are we talking, normal? Large? Dire? Preparation breeds luck an all"
When they get situated Zaroc will ask “Yes, all important information. When do they typically come around as well- any chance they will be here tonight? We have some companions camping out tonight who probably aren’t in the mood to be attacked by wolves”
"Name's Hooch, this lil lady on the guitar is Lu Lu, and the one on the drum is Zanna. My wife Janis is in the house finishing up in the kitchen." He says gesturing with his thumb. "The wolves come almost every night, seem fairly normal to me from what little I have seen. Mostly going off of tracks found near my dead livestock. The strange part is, my pastures are fenced in and every time it seems someone is opening the gate and letting the wolves in. Now I am a man of few enemies, so I cant imagine who would do that. I have heard there have been bandits on the loose, but what would a bandit gain from letting wolves slaughter my animals?"
"Interesting, I tell you what if you feed us now, we'll go other and have a look at this field straight away. See if we can sort out this menace tonight."
Zaroc shoots a concerned look at Terrence and says "We should probably warn the others"
He turns to Hooch "What do you mean, someone is opening the gate? Do the wolves footprints seem as though they enter through that location? Have you seen any other footprints?"

@Ducolis
You are able to climb the tree, and as you get closer to the nest you hear buzzing.
Make a stealth check.

Terrance will call back to the farmers. "We're just looking for a place to rest for the night, we travel west in search of a ship you see and your friendly hamlet was in our path."
@Ducolis
For the moment, you remain unnoticed by the insects buzzing around the nest and nearby branches.
@Terrance & Zaroc
"Well we have a spare bedroom, and more than enough food for 2 guests!" The man on the porch cheerfully responds.
"Well that's mighty kind of you. Is there any way we can repay your generosity?" Terrance is surprised by their willingness to share so freely but welcomes it none the less.
