Aria nods “I can definitely keep an eye out. The bag can stay here...Usul if you get close enough to hear if something’s gone wrong...maybe you can give me a signal? I’ll try and find a good spot where I can remain hidden and the bag will be safe.”

"Sounds good to me!"

Usul will say to Aria "If you hear this sound, it means there is danger" and will use minor illusion to create the noise of a unique bird sound. He adds "Let us be off. I will follow behind."

Crush will walk towards the camp with his armor and gear rattling with every heavy step

Quote from Wreckzors >>

Crush will walk towards the camp with his armor and gear rattling with every heavy step

 (( lol ))

Veryes will fall into step behind Crush and sing a little ditty in time with his steps and rattles. "That's the sound of gold in a purse. were gonna kill ya first, oh gold in a purse. That's the sound of gold in a purse or getting crushed by Crush"

The song will also provide Inspiration to Crush as we walk.

Usul easily disappears into the brush, trailing behind Crush and Veryes. For now, all Usul can hear is Crush's armor and Veryes' musical stylings.

After a short while, they arrive at the camp. Two of the guards see them coming - having heard them coming for some time - and step forward. "What business have you here?" one of them asks.

As they get withing hearing range of the camp Veryes says to Crush "Well looks like we've arrived. Try not to kill anyone before we get paid OK?" Walking the rest of the way looking as innocent as a halfling could be, Veryes tilts her head slightly. Not quite a nod but an acknowledgment. "Sunkx sends his regards and a package. Be a good fellow and show me to who can pay for delivery."

Persuasion: 17

Aria stops following the group and is about 150 yards from the entrance to the camp... nestled high up in a tree so no one can see her .

They look over Crush and Veryes and nod. One of them says, "Good. Come with us." One of them leads you into the camp while the other stays behind. 

There is a good makeshift perimeter setup around the camp, with several smaller tents setup around a few slightly bigger ones, and a much larger tent in the center. The guard takes Crush and Veryes into this tent. Inside, there are several men sitting around a large table, in the middle of a heated discussion that quiets down once the guard signals his arrival. "Sirs," he says, "This halfling and this orc claim they are here on behalf of Sunkx. They say they have a delivery from him and expect payment."

The talk around the table now ceases completely. One of them men stands and looks at Crush, then speaks to Veryes. "Well, where is it?" he says curtly. 

(Just checking the character sheets -- Crush is still at level 1, make sure you level him up when you get a chance Wreck.)

Veryes looks around "Nice set-up you've got here" She scans the tent and does a quick head count.

Insight check to see if she caught any of the conversation walking in? 15

Looking to the one who spoke to her "Well, this isn't my first time chasing around a three legged bobcat trying to bury his shit in the snow. Sunkx said 100 gold on delivery. As long as we're in agreement you'll have your.... whatever, and we'll be on our way" Flashing a winning smile.

The conversation she heard when they arrived wasn't in any language she speaks. It would have sounded familiar to her - Elvish? - but she didn't understand what they were saying. 

I need a persuasion check from either Crush or Veryes (or some other check, however you want to play it) to convince them to pay you first.

(Do I get advantage for the three legged bobcat joke? lol)

"I assure you gentlemen the package has not been tampered with in any way"

14

(in case I do get advantage :) 12)

Don't know if that will help... nope

They confer amongst themselves, clearly annoyed that the package isn't here. One of them tosses a coin pouch to the guard, and signals to a couple more men, who step forward."

"Fine. Here is your gold. A few of my men will accompany you to make sure everyone's interests are protected."

Watching them leave the camp headed back to the bag, Usul will lag behind just a bit to see if anyone else follows, and then will keep up with Crush and Veryes, though a bit behind still watching for trouble.

Crush would continue to stand behind Veryes as this exchange takes place, only turning his head backwards towards the location of the bag once the gold has changed hands. As they all start heading towards the bag, The large orc would try to always position himself to be between Veryes and the other men.

Veryes scoops up the pouch and hands it to Crush saying softly "Just have a peek and make sure it looks right please?"

Heading out of the tent she signals to Aria to bring the bag up. If possible I'd like to lead the guards far enough away to be out of regular bow range before meeting up with Aria to hand of the bag.

Veryes still has a bad feeling, like this was way too easy.

Can I do an insight check to see if they're planning anything for us? 

Insight: 18

Crush would take the bag and inspect the contents, sticking his large armored hand into the sack and pulling out fist fulls of coins and counting them before putting them back in.

17 = investigation

Aria sees the group walking back towards her but does not make her presence known. She keeps BULLSEYE fixated on them as they make their way to her.

PERCEPTION: 21

To see if she feels like anything is off about this whole area/situation

In a bar.. not perceptive. Out in the wild... very perceptive lol
