The Merchant takes a drink of the milk to calm his stomach from all the stress then follows Mobya around the bend and the rocks between the wagons and the place of the skirmish. Talking after his fellow dwarf, "Mubyeh, meh drooit freend, hreely 't'ihnt un prooblehm. meh weef, beh pekkin meh unoter bohtl. tem peybees cain hat tis hone," as he holds out the bottle.
When he sees everyone crowding around the raven tattooed corpse and the two newcomers."Oi...Lil, Akotzer...hoo det beh, unt hwaet beh te huhltoop?"
Agozur will turn to the merchant and offer a lazy shrug "I'll prepare the carts for our travel back, I don't want to get stuck near this hole at night".
Mobya, annoyed by the Merchant’s persistence and still unsure of his motives, grabs the bottle from his hand and says “much abliged.”
However, she does not feed it to the babies because that would require her to open the basket lid and reveal the younglings. She heard Wreaven’s question about whether they had found something else near the rocks, and she is unsure if they should disclose the 3 littles. She anxiously looks to Silv’ar and Morn for a sign of what to do.
As Ayra bends down toward the body, she senses her stomach muscles constricting; However, then the feeling shifts to her head, and she sways, nearly fainting, but manages to save face by leaning on a nearby tree.
To the group "there were tracks leading out of the cave that definitley resembled the hound, other than that without pushing further on I could not determine anything else. I feel it shouldn't be left. We need to make a decision wether to head to the town (which is a 2 day ride) or explore the cave further. "
The plain looking soldier, with crew cut and stern look, wearing chain mail cover by a rust /white tabard and carrying a glaive sings out to the newcomers. "what is it that brings you on this muddy road today, perhaps we can help? "
On that shoulder there, do you know what that symbol means?
Is this body recognizable to you? Who told you of the trouble? They may know more than they let on.
Wraeven stands up and shoos the bird off of his shoulder. It flies off reluctantly to a nearby tree. He brushes himself off a bit and tries to put a comforting hand on Ayra's shoulder, realizing that he has exposed her to some new trauma in her life.
Wraeven nods Alesainder that he would have a word off to the side. "You are familiar with receiving messages from your god, yeah? Gave you a mission right? Destroy undead and protect mortal souls." Wraeven hopes for a confirmation from Al before proceeding on with what may seem a fantastical tale, one that he can hardly believe himself. "I am here because my patron summoned me. My patron oversees the natural order of death and seeks to destroy the awakened undead and those that work against that natural order. That woman is a Shadar-Kai, from shadowfell. She was a devotee of the Raven Queen. (referring to the symbol) The Raven Queen undoubtedly knows more than she is letting on. She sent me a message." (relays the message)
The order has been broken. It must be discovered...it must be resolved. In the forests, there were three and one. There are three in one. The one is out of order...the three are good...they were protected...they will be a completion...it MUST be resolved.....the order has been broken...the west road south...the forest...the servant of a master sent too early...
"I believe this is the one that was lost. The three that must be protected?... I don't know what that means. It is possible that danger still exists as there was mention of a servant of a master? I don't know what that means either."
Ayra steps close to listen as Wraven pulls Alesandair aside, curious to hear if there is anything more she can find out about this mission she has been puled into.
While the others are conversing and poking the corpses Agozur will walk over to Mobya and lift open the flap on the bag and gaze at the children "Hmm... you little ones must be hungry." Digging around in his own bag he will pull out 3 rations and drop them in with the children "Hopefully you like salted pork and stale bread."
If they start eating the food he's gave them, Agozur will also take out his water skin and make sure they're hydrated.

"My path is one through meditation and devotion, focusing on acts of devotion known as the Path of Light. I was chosen among my people to be one that walks the lines of life and death, yet ensuring the wandering spirits are put to rest. So, to answer your question shortly, yes. I don't believe i have heard of this Raven Queen before."
History check = 1
"As for the message that was relayed to you, i know not of what it means. Can anyone else make head or tails of it?"
Trying to be inconspicuous and move away from Wreaven and Arya after listening to their conversations, Mobya is feeling distress. In her mind I t is clear that Silv’ar and Morn are also uncertain about disclosing their finding, or else one of them would have spoken up about it already. Once Agozur approaches her to feed the babies, she feels more supported.
“Agozur, the newcomers seem to be looking for these 3 littles...what do we do? Can we trust them? They are obviously not the parents, so what could they possibly want the younglings for?!?”
Glancing at Mobya over her shoulder "Why don't we just ask them. Destiny has brought us all together for a reason and it wouldn't lead us astray..."pausing briefly thinking over their current situation "Worst case we end up fighting them and you protect the kids. After all there are more of us than them."
Following Agozur’s advice, Mobya approaches the whole group and places the basket on the floor in front of them. She opens it and the three babies pull themselves up to stand and look out and around. Mobya reaches out for the smallest one and places him on her hip. His little hand immediately grabs her braid and starts playing with it.
“Right after we fought the two-headed dog and the grims, we found this basket hidden in the rocks with these younglings inside. No sign of their parents anywhere. Silv'ar even went back into the hole to look again and found nothing there. No clues but a piece of paper inside the basket with nothing written on it, just a drawing. We are taking them along with us to town, as leaving them alone here would certainly be deadly.”
I think being a goblin in itself is deadly, these things just get bopped on the head all the time. I know we are supposed to get these carts to town but bringing along these babies probably shouldnt be announced to loudly if thats what we do. I am sure there are enough city guards out there that have grudges against orcs, goblins, and hobgoblins that we would not receive a warm welcome. At this rate we could always find a couple of Owlbear cubs as well and bring those back. Start up an "Orphanage of the Obtuse and Obscure"
Alesandair, with your 11 and your clerical focus on death, It takes speaking "Raven Queen" out loud to trigger the memory of stories about an ancient power. You remember tellings of her governing lines of death, and that she is often seen as a more neutral power whose emissaries see death as a natural, logical, and orderly progression. One who cares greatly about the appropriate ordering of life and death, though she is not usually seen as deity, she is quite powerful. You have not heard of these Shadar-Kai that Wraeven references.
Mobya, you were the last one with the letter I believe. Are you holding in your hand still or did you tuck it away somewhere?
[META: "Orphanage of the Obtuse and Obscure" bwahahaha]
Al looks over the loose scrap of paper carefully [I assume it is blank for me as well other than the raven stamp] and states, "This is the same symbol that is tattooed on that Shadar." Handing it over to Wraeven and Ayra, "Does that mean these wee three are propoerty of the Raven Queen?"

Eager to see the mark that Wraeven is referring to, Ayra takes a decisive step forward and leans in close to the body to get a good look.
[ooh i wonder if she's gonna barf]
