"10 gold each for the beavers. No, not to worry, there are plenty of beavers out there in the wild. You've got to know how to find them, that's the trick!"
The furriers nod and bid the party a safe journey.
The rest of the afternoon passes uneventfully. As the sun grows low on the horizon and you are starting to think about where to camp for the night, you crest a small rise on the ride and see about 100 yards in the distance, just off the ditch a group of five ogres standing in a circle. You can hear their loud, deep, voices arguing about which direction they should go.
So far, they don't seem to have spotted you, being too caught up in their own argument.
"Maybe if we knew a little more about them, which we don't. And they are all standing in a circle. You never have a wizard with a fireball when you need one. "
OCC: can we hear why they are arguing over direction? Like they want to get to some place?

With your recent learning of some Giant phrases, you are able to make out. "lost" and "hungry" and "eat travelers".
"Well I think they are talking about being lost and how they want to eat some travellers. Those beaver hunters are lucky they didn't run into these guys.
Maybe we should shew them off the road?"

Whispering to the group, Umbriel says with a wicked grin, "If I can get about halfway up to them, I can make one of them start getting violent with the others, and we can mop up the survivors. I don't like the idea of this bunch preying on innocent travelers. Those furriers were nice."
Ireniana shakes her head. "I know they're ogres but that doesn't mean they'll go after the furriers. I'd like to know their intentions before we engage them in combat. That said, do what you gotta do."

I have an intelligence of six, I know what I'm doing.
Baeshra shrugs, "Why don't Umbriel and I go get closer to see what's up while the rest of you move up the flanks quietly. That way, if it goes badly, Umriel will be in range of his spell, you will be ready to support us if needed, and I can provide buffer between Umbriel and them long enough for you all to get close."
"I like your idea, but neither one of us speaks Giant, so it would be difficult to discern their motives. If you would rather not start a fight, I could always sneak over to a direction a safe distance away, reveal myself and draw them away from the road, then teleport to safety while they search in vain for me - meanwhile, we continue our journey. Lyngheid, Nyx, Whistler, what do you think?"
The traveler gets excited and ushers you over to the wagon.
"Beaver and fox. Mostly beaver. You get a hat or a coat made out of these, and you'll be plenty warm in the winter, let me tell you!"
Nyx sits on the side of the cart, letting her legs hang as she swings them from side to side. The satyr watches on, starting to whistle a tune.

" How much for two beavers....I hope your not taking too many. They'll have kits at this time."
"10 gold each for the beavers. No, not to worry, there are plenty of beavers out there in the wild. You've got to know how to find them, that's the trick!"
Uninterested in furs, Umbriel will keep an eye on the surroundings. Outwardly polite, internally on edge.
Baeshra will examine the furs briefly, laughing quietly to himself at the strangeness of softskins.
" Too rich for my blood.", Lyngheid grinned.
" Take care on the road.", she ventured as she moved off.
The furriers nod and bid the party a safe journey.

What does the party do?
" Theres only five.....or do one of you sneaky lot have a less strenuous way of seeing them off?"
"Maybe if we knew a little more about them, which we don't. And they are all standing in a circle. You never have a wizard with a fireball when you need one. "

" I'll stay at the rear because I'm noisy as hell."
Everyone trying to sneak off the road and distract the Ogres make a Stealth check.
Droop will stay and guard the wagon.
