Storm King's Thunder + Against the Giants

"I am sorry for their fate. Here. Take a few deep drags from this pipe. This is how we remember the departed..." The chieftain passes the pipe to the Goliath.

"Whoever told you about us is not in good faith. We do not harm children."

"My..um...wife, please. What she means is, we were told the Yakfolk of Ironslag slain her whole clan. We come to demand answers and to make sure such a travesty is remedied in the only way our clans know how. Good pork, did you cook this?" Ren will take another bite and look to one of his wives. 

Insight check on the chieftain. 18 Is he lying about what he just said? 

"There are few more yakfolk settlements. Know this: they would not dare to raid a tribe without my consent. I can indeed help you."

"Yukka! May my horns be damned, Yukka! Stop counting the clouds! Send Ravens to the other tribes. Ask them about Gotho-Anuak. Report must be immediate!"

"In the meantime, friends, enjoy the food and the weed." The wives hand few more pipe to Erakas, Grathart and Ren. " So, that is the only reason you come up here?"

"To find answers, of course. How long do you expect the response from the other tribes? We greatly appreciate you taking our words seriously. But, what if it was one of your brother clans? We do demand that a price must be paid. The ultimate price." Ren tries to wiggle through this talk without giving too much away. He wasn't lying, they did come up here for answers. Hopefully, Ren is more intelligent than a yakfolk.

"The answers will be here in a day or two. If it was one of my tribe, I will accompany you to bring justice!"

OOC I need to know what the others are doing.

*Nalla, I don't think he is lying. Let me work on this while we wait for word to come back. We may be able to get more answers by being his guest. Let me work my powers on him and his tribe. But the choice is yours. We might also get more clues as to how to get into Ironslag and take down the Fire Giants inside.* Ren will share with the group through the link. 

Grathart accepted the pipe, having just seen the chieftain smoke it he was not worried that it might be laced or poisoned. He took a long inhale in from in, tending the weed so that it stay fluid and did not burn unevenly. 

OOC: As an avid smoker how does Grathart find the smoke? Nature 11 if needed

To Grathart, the smoke tastes like mountains flowers.

OOC Erakas is doing anything in particular now? Like pursuing a yak-woman? or something else?

Erakas doesn't smoke......so he passes on the pipe and just stands there watching everyone - normally he would have followed Nalla out of the tent but she probably needs the space.

He trusts none of these yakfolk

OOC Well, it has been nice playing with Ordo Ursa *evil face*

(OOC - already rolling up a Drunken Master Minotaur for the next one then.....)

After few hours spent in the chieftain hut, Ren and Grathart are feeling very well. The head is heavy, like a lack of sleep of few days. [Ren and Grathart CON save. Grathart with advantage.] The chieftain notices the effect of the poison his friends put into food and weed. The chieftain smiles. An evil smile. " Hahahah. you should not have come here. Now you suffer." He stands up and goes at the gong to give it a good strike with the maul.

[Roll also initiative. Rockhand is still outside?]

"Thank you, nice smoke," Ren says greasy faced as he inhales the smoke. "So, tell me about your bravery chief, I love hearing tales and stories. Especially true ones! What great deeds have you done?"

"SONOFA..........ROCKHAND KILL!" the dragonborn shouts as he draws his swords...
