Between the 3 of you, you find 12 pounds of food, including small game, berries, wild root vegetables, etc. Actually, due to Fjolnir's ability to find double food, that's 16 total pounds, so you're good all the way through day 3!

You make it through the night safely, no one spots or hears anything coming close to the camp outside of normal forest noises.
Day 2 starts off great! You wake up and eat breakfast, and start North along the edge of the Wood with an extra bit of energy. It's a beautiful day, not a cloud threatening to rain on you, birds singing, it may as well be a ******* Disney movie. Until... 49
Nothing happens.
The day stays wonderful throughout. But Az Emberi notices something in the late evening, just before you decide to camp:
Behind you, movement catches your eye. You think it was a short humanoid that ducked behind a tree, but you're not fully sure. What are you doing?
The bushes rustle and a small but ornery voice calls out. "I'll be happy to oblige as soon as I've finished watering the garden, so some privacy, please. We wouldn't want a three foot little man to make you green with envy, would we?"
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Fjolnir draws and arrow and readies for the slightest hint of aggression. "Its bad manners to come up on a party without announcing yourself- and then veil threats before we even have introductions." He over-draws and holds- and tries to determine the creatures intent Insight:8"...have you a shake quick like and proper introductions, and no one gets green with envy or red with agony."
The bushes rustle again, and out steps a hairless gray-skinned wee little man. He's clad in simple leather armor, a bow on his back, a dagger on each hip. He's tightening up his breeches. "It's like me old chum, Gundren, used to say to me, 'You've got the face of an arse and the manners of a stale fart.' Which pleases me fine. I tend to work better without approval. Now, I've let go of my stick, will you boys let go of yours?"
"Oooo..." Fjolnir slowly relaxes, "Strange choice of words starin up the pointy end..." he waits to completely drop readiness and keeps an eye on the rest of the parties reception of the intruder.
"It would appear we have mutual interests in the whereabouts of my pal, Gundren. I've been with you since town. I felt it better to keep a distant eye on you until I knew better what your motives towards him were. Now that we're face to face, I'm convinced you're harmless."
Well... I wouldn't exactly say we are harmless. I'm Dirk, great warrior, lover, scholar..... folk hero. That's Hymir, Fjolnir, Absinthe and Odie... I mean Az Emberi. Everyone play nice, I'm just gonna rest my eyes.
"If you've been paying attention you'd notice our mistakes are usually more damaging than most people's calculated actions..." he pauses a moment... "Are you tracking him? What's your business with us then?"
"And I'm Krodmad, a gnome of particular talent and virtue." Bows slightly, sarcastically. "Now that we've got that bit of business out of the way, does anyone care to explain why Gundren is so important to you? Just when I was to meet him, he disappears and you lot show up."
"He hired us as escort for his supplies we found his horse dead on the road and he never made it to town. We have an interest in our client remaining alive. What is your interest in him?"
"I'm his friend, and he owes me a beer. I think that we've settled we have vested interest in finding him, and since neither of us is going to turn around and go the other way, maybe it makes more sense to travel together. We can ease our suspicions of each other just as readily in motion as we can standing here being useless."

Pay them no mind. They suspect everything. What's your name little, thing and your business?
Rainbow....... Mooo....
I relax but keeping my eyes narrowed on him and my ears open for the possibility of others in the bushes
Insight on him 7
"Oooo..." Fjolnir slowly relaxes, "Strange choice of words starin up the pointy end..." he waits to completely drop readiness and keeps an eye on the rest of the parties reception of the intruder.
Pretty sure it was pissing in the woods, and the danger it's dong presented has now passed.
Rainbow....... Mooo....
"Guess it depends on if it were burning or not..." Fjolnir adds.
"It would appear we have mutual interests in the whereabouts of my pal, Gundren. I've been with you since town. I felt it better to keep a distant eye on you until I knew better what your motives towards him were. Now that we're face to face, I'm convinced you're harmless."

So you know Gundren is that what brought you to these parts or perhaps to find us?

He seems to be telling the truth.
There are no signs of others with him.
